Another great Samsung TV5
I've had this TV for a month now and I am pleased to say it is everything I wanted and expected. I upgraded from a 26" samsung 720p TV and choose to keep to Samsung due to the excellent performance of that TV.

This 32" full HD TV has excellent picture quality, the colours are deep and vivid, the picture fast and responsive. I use mainly with a PS3, which, at 1080p is great. The four HMDI ports (3 on the back, 1 on the side) allow me to connect all my devices at once.

The TV itself is very attractive, feels very well built, solid and robust. The stand is solid and allows you to turn the TV left and right, for perfect set-up. All the buttons on the TV are touch sensitive, which looks great, but, at night when its dark, means that it takes a moment to find the off button (with practice I'll learn!). Attaching the stand was OK, 8 screws and two peices. The screw holes were threaded but took some effort, although this probably means it is now very secure. I recommend a good screwdriver, I used an old one at first and nearly stripped one screw head.

The remote control is easy to use, although a little more clunky and less attractive than the remote for my old 26". No longer is there a button to swith direct to HDMI devices, you have to use a 'source' menu instead. The TV does not always automatically switch to a new input when you turn it on (ie. using a PS3, then turn on the sky box, it does not automatically change the source, as older models did).

The downfiring speakers give a great sound quality, deep, rounded and slightly bassy.

Pros: Excellent quality picture, Looks great & Good connectivity.

Cons: Clunky remote (not terrible), changing sources takes more than a moment & The stand could be easier to assemble (not bad enough to be put off from buying).

A great buy, very happy, based on my previous 26" samsung the second-hand value will hold well. Now I'm rewatching all my DVD's in even higher defintion glory and enjoying how much more I get out of PS3 games!
