This modelĀ is fairly new but has already had great reviews almost everywhere you look. Here are the reviews regarded as most helpful by Amazon consumers courtesy of Amazon UK (You can see the rest here):
From DJP:
I purchased this TV from Amazon, and as usual it arrived when it was supposed to and the price was a lot better than on the high street.
Set up was quick and easy, just a few screws for the stand then turn it on and answer a couple of questions and it sets itself up in a less than 5 minutes.
I bought the TV for my parents to put in the living room and it is brilliant, they didnt want anything larger than 32″ so there wasnt really any point in getting a 1080p set. The picture quality is excellent on freeview and even better with Sky and to be honest just as good as my larger 1080p Sony Bravia. There are a few presets and many individual settings you can adjust to get the picture how you like it. Sound quality is very good too considering the size of the speakers, especially if you have a play with a few of the options.
The remote is uncluttered and easy to use and the on screen freeview guide is pretty good too.
One thing that may be a problem for some users is that this TV only has one scart socket, but it does have 3 HMDMI sockets so shouldnt be too much of a problem.
Overall a great TV at a great price.
From AW:
I bought this for my mother-in-law before there were any reviews available, based on my own good experience with the 40″ Samsung LE40A656.
At the time this model (LE32B450C4) was on sale for the same price as the Samsung LE32A436T (for which there were a lot of positive reviews).
It was hard to tell from the Samsung site what were the benefits of one model compared with the other, but I guessed that the LE32B450C4 was the newer model and went for it anyway, despite the lack of user reviews.
Other reviews have criticised the sound quality of other Samsung LCD TVs but this seemed to be absolutely fine in a medium size living room, and the picture quality on Freeview is excellent.
We bought this to be ready for the imminent Digital Switchover,and the only minor niggle is this:
If when you go to change channels you accidentally hit the 0 (zero) button, it switches to the analogue tuner. The documentation doesn’t mention this or tell you how to get back to the DTV tuner.
We found by trial and error that hitting the next channel button (perhaps several times) flips you back to the DTV tuner.
I tried it with an HDMI feed from my digital SLR (stills only, can’t find what the resolution is supposed to be) and the picture quality was also excellent, very sharp.
Saw this reviewed on [] and then scanned thru the [] threads. Didn’t get this via Amazon but via Richer Sounds.
Everything I’ve read about this set has so far been true.
The SD picture is upscaled brilliantly. I’ve played AVI and MKVs off a USB stick and those look excellent.
The upscaler did seem to make some American TV series look abit like the Australian broadcast, the colours seem deeper (but that’s just my opinion).
This replaced an older 32″ Samsung unit, the difference is great. Definitely highly recommended and well worth it.
