Another great Samsung.,
Coming from an LNT4061, LNT4069, and, most recently, an LN40A650, I’d happy to say that this TV has yet to disappoint. The Samsung quality is all there and it feels considerably evolved from the previous generations I’ve owned. I’m using this as an office monitor and television – for both occasions, it’s a terrific set. The colors are vivid, the sound is crisp, and I have yet to experience any issues with it. I’d also note that this television, while considered the entry level for 2011, is slightly thinner and substantially lighter than other 32″ models within the Samsung product lineup and other companies’ models within the same price range. There ARE thinner and lighter 32″ TV’s, but you’ll spend an additional $150+ just for the size difference. This was a deciding factor in my case, since I wanted an easily wall-mounted TV without breaking the bank. I’d highly recommend this particular model for anyone looking for a bedroom/office television. It’s just the right quality and size at just the right price.

About that base . . .,
Putting together the base was fairly straightforward for me. At no point did I feel that I had to overtighten the screws in order to keep things from wobbling. The one glitch is that (in English, French, and Spanish) the instructions for assembling the base have the labels for the front and the rear switched, so that the pedestal is alleged to be closer to the front of the base than the rear, contrary to what published photos of the assembled product indicate. I don’t know if this mislabeling is what has given people problems with the base, or if Samsung used to ship worse-fitting hardware than it does now. In any case, I’m glad I didn’t let the complaints about the base hold me back from purchasing this item.
I’ve owned this set for less than 24 hours, but perhaps some initial impressions will be helpful to other shoppers:
1) I spent over half an hour wandering through an electronics megastore comparing pictures and I have to say that I couldn’t detect any advantage of 1080p over 720p for sets of this size. (I assume that a store this big was feeding in some 1080p content, but I could be wrong.) At home, over-the-air 720p and 1080i content looks great on this set.
2) While the LED sets are sleeker than the LCD sets, I didn’t think that the LED picture was any better. Both I and one other customer in the store were vacillating between the Samsung UN32D4000N and this set, and we both ended up opting for this one.
3) Some review sites represent these LCD sets as having narrow viewing angles. To my eyes, that was far from true, as almost every set in the store had a picture that was easily viewable from far to the side.
4) Buyers’ guides imply that we all now need sets that are twice as big as the sets we were buying a few years ago. In particular, a 32-inch set is all of a sudden considered far too small for a living room. Well, I think this set looks good in my living room. It’s nice not to have my house look like my life revolves around television viewing.
5) If there’s a way to have this set memorize channels from two different antenna positions, it wasn’t obvious to me. Fortunately, on my 3rd or 4th try I was able to orient my antenna so that the set located all my local channels on one scan.
6) At this set’s current price, you run very little risk of buyers’ remorse.
