 Yet another fine Samsung TV in my homeApr 02, 2010
By C. Stone
I own a 56 inch Samsung DLP (have for some time now) and love the thing. So when it was time to get a flat screen for my bedroom (the old CRT just had to go), I went right to Samsung. My needs were 32 inches, 2 or more HDMI inputs, at least one analog composite input, at least one analog component input and a QAM tuner. I looked at a few models from other vendors (the usual suspects, Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi, etc., excluding Visio, not a chance that junk enters my home) and for the most part they were very similar in the features they offered. This model was a little better than some of the others in the same price/size range and it had some extra cool features (ability to display images from camera) and given my past experience with Samsung, I purchased this model.
I mounted the TV to the wall (using a Cheetah) and cannot be more pleased. The QAM tuner found all of the cable channels that were available (although it would have been nice to just have it hunt for digital channels, I had to go back after the hunt and manually remove the analog junk). The other inputs worked as expected. The remote control is not bad but it lacks a button to turn Closed Captions on/off (you need to navigate the menus to turn on/off, what a hassle). Picture quality is great, and the sound is what you expect for built in speakers (not great, but sufficient)
All of that said, I give this baby two thumbs up...

Outstanding Picture Quality; Very Good ValueApr 28, 2010
By Jack Gadzala
"Jack"
One month of viewing has reinforced my initial experience that this Samsung LN32C530 32-Inch 1080p is an outstanding LCD HDTV. After researching Consumer Reports and several online ratings sites, the choice came down to the LG 32LH30 32-Inch 1080p and a comparable Vizio (also 32" 1080p). Both the other two were less expensive, but the research suggested that the Samsung quality and features would be worth it. It was correct. The picture quality is outstanding, viewing the TV off-angle only results in a minimal brightness reduction (less than I've typically noticed in other LCDs). Sound is fine (I use the TV speakers - not a home theater system for this TV). Satisfaction is 100%.

Looking for a great cheap 32inch HD, THIS is the one to get!Jun 19, 2010
By Colin V. G. Quinsland
I got this TV a little over a month ago, and have not once regretted the purchase. Before this TV I had a 32 inch Sony KDL-V32XBR1 for over 5 years, and finally decided now was going to be the time to get my own as I am moving out of my house. I did some research and found that Samsung was definitely in the lead in terms of quality and price, and finally settled on this model. I got it for 499 on sale at Best Buy, and the difference was incredible! This monitor is BEAUTIFUL, especially for 500 bucks! You might want to do a little tweaking with the color settings, but it usually does a very good job looking great without any help from you. I have HD Cable, a Xbox 360 hooked up via Component, and a PS3 hooked up with HDMI. The TV automatically senses which ports are active and only switches between the ones that have an incoming signal going to them, which is really convenient. It also has a power setting which defaults to on which will detect the ambient light and lower the back-lighting on the monitor to save power. I personally found that it lowered the light too much, as I like my movies bright and colorful, so I ended up turning it off, which I would recommend to anyone who doesn't mind spending a little extra power on their picture.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I originally had a hard time with ghosting showing up on bluray like another reviewer, but it just didn't make sense and unlike the other reviewer, after a little research I found that Digital Noise Reduction filters cause all the ghosting with HDTV's these days, so once I turned that off in the TV's menu, everything was back to being incredibly sharp and quick! Just make sure to turn that off when gaming or watching High Def movies, and you will NEVER look back on getting this TV. It has an incredible amount of BANG for the buck.

 Nothing but problems with this one...Mar 22, 2010
By A. Garcia
I was very excited about this purchase, the price point is great and it is a Samsung. The first shipment got here quickly and I was happy to set it up. As soon as I turned on my PS3 I noticed the left speaker (they are hidden by the way, which looks great!) would go in and out. I tried many different input devices and the sound problem continued so I knew it was the TV.
I sent it back (Amazon was great by the way) and got a replacement... no sound issues. I thought it was a simple mistake and I was unfortunate and happily set up the new one. Later that night I was watching a BD and noticed the screen would darken and lighten about every ten seconds, over and over again. It continued to do this even as I turned the movie off and switched over to the X360. Called Samsung customer support and they basically told me I needed service, the nice lady then recommended (since it was only a day old and all) I simply return it to the place of purchase for a new one. Well after two tries and both being lemons right out of the box, I can't justify trying again. It's a shame because the picture quality is great, exactly what you would expect from a Samsung and it was really hard for me to have to move on for another brand. I still plan on purchasing a Samsung, but I won't lie and say this experience has made me very hesitant.
Keep in mind, this is a very new model. I cannot recommend purchase of this set right now, but I'm sure in the future it will get a lot stronger. Furthermore, I could simply be extremely unlucky to get two lemons in a row.

The Samsung LN32C530 TV has an important advantageJun 05, 2010
By William E. Bender
"TIVO addict"
I recently purchased the Samsung LN32C530 TV and I love it. We installed it in the bedroom, and it has a feature that is a big advantage for us: the "timer on" to wake us in the morning. We use it as our alarm clock to awaken us. Almost all TVs have a "timer off" feature or a "sleep timer", but Samsung is one of the few TV manufacturers who offer the "timer on" advantage.
Also, I become amused by a review that complains that he had to put 4 screws into 4 screw holes to install the base. Is he joking? We installed the base and had it operational in about 10 minutes with no problems, and I am a senior citizen.
This is my 2nd Samsung TV purchase this year, and they offer a superior picture at minimal price.Samsung LN32C530 32-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LCD HDTV (Black)
