Samsung LE32A456C

I love it to bits

Doesn't automatically change input when an aux device (games console/DVD player/etc) is switched on. You have to cycle through the input select options until you find the right one. There is a shortcut key for HDMI input on the remote control. Other than this, brilliant !

Screen picture is brilliant, especially when viewing new movies on DVD or sky.

Need to make sure you have enough distance away from the TV or else you can see the pixels too clearly, also you may find if you have any VHS videos left, the quality is pretty poor, especially older ones.

This looks the business, even with power saving enabled it still looks great. I was amazed at how much heat was generated from an LCD TV, putting energy saving to MEDIUM made a very big difference to the heat and the picture is only a little darker which you wouldn't notice if you didn't know. I wonder how much power it's using now? as it uses 180 watts usually.

The factory default settings are rubbish. I wondered what I had bought when I first turned it on. The preset modes such as SPORT or GAME are naff the sound is awful. Even when connected to external speakers the sound has so much high end it hurts your ears. BUT.... spend some time with the Graphic Equaliser and you will be reawarded with some decent sound. Also the picture colour needed calming a bit as reds and greens weren't nice.

Lovely clear picture after a bit of tweaking, easy to setup, nice user friendly menu's, easily wall mounted.

default picture settings are poor, you have to tweak the contrast, backlight and brightness otherwise it is a bit blocky and faces have red spots. Aerial input is not very well placed if you wall mount, it gets crushed against the wall with a fixed mounting bracket.

Its a very good product and easily worth the price i paid for it. The picture quality on both analogue and digital channels is extremely good and i was pleasantly surprised with the high level of quality with the low price tag. The TV looks very modern and stylish and is the perfect size to play high definition gaming - for example through a playstation 3 games console.

Make sure that before you buy the TV you have an external house aerial fitted otherwise the incorporated freeview box will not receive any channels. Its also a good idea to have an amplifyer attached to your house aerial to boost the signal and increase the number of freeview channels you can access. If wanting to use the TV to play on a games console in High Definition then a HDMI cable is required - this is not suplied with the TV and can be bought in most technology shops that sell Playstation 3's or blue-ray disk players

picture and sound quality fantastic. remote hand set very easy to use and excellent for quick and easy teletext access which is a great improvemnt over the model it replaces

none

Looks excellent, great picture, sounds fine. Really easy to setup. Amazing value for money.

Power cable comes out at 90 degrees from the back, instead of pointing downwards. It made mounting it flush to the wall much more difficult. The wall mounting (as far as I can tell) is not the standard Vesa system. It appears to be some Samsung specific thing, which was REALLY annoying.

good overall tv picture very clear, sound good.

No on off switch!

Perfect for Xbox Gamers :)

Looks great, picture quality very close to full hi-def quality- better than all other products in the price range and as good as more expensive sets. The sound quality is brilliant considering that the speakers are small and downward-facing, connectivity is exillent- loads of input & outputs, menus easy to use & the remote control is easy to use with a good layout.

When using a HDMi cable between the TV and a DVD player- if you just want to play a CD on the DVD unit, the TV comes on automatically- no big deal but an unessicsary waiste of energy.

Great size, price and picture quality

Built in digital reciever stoped picking up the channels within a week, while my digital recorder still picks up the channels, strange. Digital picture quality is also lost when an external digital reciever is used.

Very clear picture and very good sound quality. Sleek good looking black TV fits well with our decor and we have had many good complements.

Attracts dust like there's no tommorrow!!!!!! And so does the matching black glass stand.

So far I've only used this at SD resolution (with a Virgin cablebox, via RGB over SCART) but it does a very impressive job. Minimal scaling artifacts, the image is sharp, clear and colourful and the sound is perfectly loud and clear enough (in that I only tend to run it at about 15 out of 50!). The design of the case is drop-dead gorgeous, and it's still surprisingly easy to move. It's got a ton of connections on the back, the remote is easy to get around and fundamentally it was a reasonably purchase for a 32" LCD...

Takes about 7-10 seconds to actually switch itself on. Default settings are oversaturated and pushed too far on contrast, so a tiny bit of reconfiguration is required. The glossy finish on the surround can get a little dusty..

Nice picture and good quality

nothing really

Great value for money, Lots of inputs including 3 HDMIs and VGA. Perfect for HD Gaming at 720p or 1080i. Sexy piano black finish even if it is a fingerprint and dust magnet

Not Full HD (1080p), although the price makes up for this. I discovered the minor problem of being unable to use a line in sound source whilst viewing VGA(PC) but this isn't a problem if you plan to use an external sound setup anyway.

good design

none

Picture quality is good Sound was better than I expected There was no ghosting when watching foorball

Cannot edit channel list to remove unwanted channels Slow to navigate through channel list, cannot move a page at a time Set is slow to start and there is a delay when changing channels

SOUND WAS TERRIBLE

Bought as a present for mother, no problems with it, she thinks it's really good and the sound is great. seen it myself it looks and sounds good.

Looks good and had no problems. I only wish I had went for the 37" version but wife said no.

None so far.

For the value, this is a great product. Have had no problems so far (touch wood), picture quality is decent, excellent number of connections, Freeview reception is great (even with a cheap aerial), set-up was a doddle and aesthetically looks the business. Haven't tested any HD sources yet, so got that to look forward to!

Sound is a bit on the flat side, but if your using an external speaker system, this isn't an issue. Changing ext sources is a bit slow, and it would have been great to have a PC/TV PIP. Oh well, can't have it all!

picture quality is fantasic

none

excellent tv all round, display,design and sound all excellent

none, great tv

Very good balance for technical spec and price

noneyet!

The only thing we like bout this television is the design.

My parents bought this design when it first came out approx 3 years ago and the picture and sound quality are superior to the on we have purchased.The image quality is particularly poor.

Great product, and still smitten about this stylistic and sleek tv. Image quality is superb and mine's not even connected to a true HD source yet. I work in tv production myself so there were centain quality standards I expected.

Be prepared to hook up your sound system to this to get the full cinematic experience but the built in speakers surfices for normal tv viewing

i love this tv, the sound and picture is wonderful and is ideal for gaming.

none yet

Fantastic look and design, great sound quality and takes up a lot less space than the old 32 inch tube TVs.

Picture quality is not as good on LCD TVs as on the tube TVs, and can look slightly pixelated espeacially when watching football.

Design and simplicity

None I can think of

Great value LCD TV. Image is crisp and clear, setup and interface is incredibly easy to use. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a good TV without breaking the bank.

No real bad points.

Easy setup,Good connectivity,Excellent picture Quality,Great value for money.

nice looking TV, very modern. great picture and perfect size for kids room

The design, and connectivity

I am having problems with the picture. The picture just not seem real, faces are very pasty and seem to lack the variation in colour and texture you would expect, giving them sometimes an almost cartoon type appearance

Crystal clear picture. A good reliable make and a brilliant design.

Hav'nt found any yet.

We already had a samsung television in the kitchen and was so pleased with it, we knew when the one in the lounge went it would be a samsung again. The picture quality is excellent, the sound is excellent, we especially loved the sleek design............would thoroughly reccommend it.

NONE!

Sleek design, Good quality sound and picture, Ample ports for both HDMI cables and Scart.

None so far!!

Good quality for price. Very easy to set up.

Bit slow to change channel.

Brilliant picture. The design is wonderful, so sleek. The set up is a breeze.

None so far.

Stylish, high quality - looks good, sounds good with an excellent picture. Installation was a a breeze.

None that I'm aware of.

Picture and sound great for the price which is an absolute bargain online - looks good too

Digital programme guide/info is not as good as my old digital set top box. No power off switch so you have to leave the tv on standby unless you turn off at the plug.

Great picture and sound in a great looking unit piano black looks great. especially with the matching samsung home theatre system I got to go with it.

when you hit the power button it take a few seconds before it actually comes on.. not sure if this is common with all LCD TV's

Stylish piano black finish, turnable on its stand for best viewing angle.

Piano black finish shows dust very quickly, remote control is a little too complicated for my 73 year old mother (who I purchased it for).

Good VALUE and QUALITY HD TV and would love to buy another for the bedroom! Great size, fits in living room without being overpowering and would fit in a bedroom as a nice large tv Smart design (like all samsung tv's) Beautiful Picture with HDMI cable connecting PS3 loads of inputs and outputs do me fine as i now only use HDMI and the one for connecting digital camcorders is easily accesible on the side GREAT THINKING!!!! Good remote layout, quickly changes form HDMI to DTV etc everyone comments on how sleak and subtle it is!

Terrestrial tv (1-5) poor picture and grainy and never used as Freeview is PERFECT picture quality Attracts fine white dust like crazy although this can only be seen at unwatchable angles anyway, and not all the time Can't seem to turn it off standby (Red Light) apart from the wall but that's probably a user error on my behalf! Putting the stand on was a nerve wracking balancing act on my own and 2 bottom screws didn't feel like they were housed fully however on closer inspection the bottom set are not as deeply recesed as the top ones. Wait and get a mate to help!

Looks lovely, has decent sound and image quality. Works well with boyfriends XBox360. Overall, very good value for money.

Takes a while to turn over channels & there is no TV guide on screen whilst scrolling through channels (like with Freeview), but doesn't take long to get used to TV guide Menu option.

design good, picture quality o.k for the price of television.

seem to have volume control quite high to get a decent sound out of the television, and my hearing is good.

Not very good speakers. But with a home theatre system it is perfect.

Excellent picture, lovely gloss finish & easy to setup

Sound quality poor from built in speakers - but as I have a home cinema amp/speakers not an issue for me...

Fantastic picture & sound. a pleasure to watch

This is a beautifuly designed tv which looks fantastic, lots of features and very adaptable. Picture quality is great, particularly when running a games machine (which seems to be able to run at 1080i althought the tv is only rated at 720) and the srs trusound is great. Great quality, name and features, best for the money!

The only bad point i would say is that the changing of channels is a little slow.

Picture is very good In built freeview is easy to use Good value

No off switch, therefore permanently on standby

Excellent value for money , good size ,easy to use.

delay in switching channels

Really good... Worth getting. Looks nice, sound and picture quality excellent.

Picture quality sleek up, to the min design and value for money along with HDMI outputs for newer devices makes this tv a great purchase at a very good price. Very pleased with this tv

none

Looks great in shiny black, has good picture on SD freeview and looks stunning with 720p HD material. Swiveling stand is very handy. Looks great paired up with my ps3 playing games and dvd's through the hdmi.

Attracts dust (hardly a bad point but all i cant think of any other issues)

Love the Tv Its amazing!

None!

very good picture quality and sound. easy to use and set up.

image quality, ease of use, brightness, many inputs

sound with built-in speakers a bit weak - not a problem though

Price

sound

Good picture, good looking and good value for money

There's only one component in socket and there is no audio input for the VGA connection.

Great tv good design, picture quality excellent,

The only bad point i can see is the speakers, they tend to vibrate on some channels if turned up to much, so its a good idea to add seperate speakers to the tv.

Picture quality

Adjusting picture settings over elaborate and fiddly + needs to be done separately for each input e.g. satellite box and DVD

Excellent image quality, design is very modern and sleek . The controls on side of TV are simple to use and the remote though rather large is pretty self explanatory . It was very easy to set up with the auto tune even for someone who is not particularily good with technology!! The menu is very comphrensive and for the majority of tasks easy to explore and change values though I found the majority of the factory settings ok for me . Overall I am very impressed with this TV

The only negative is that the sound quality is not as good as I had hoped for in such a quality television and I find I have to have the volume higher than on another TV I have in order to get the equivalent sound

brilliant picture with hd movies, still very good with low resolution movies, 3 hdmi:)) , optical out for sound; very easy to set up, works very, very good as a monitor for my pc through dvi-hdmi cable (remember to put in "hdmi 2") and ideal for xbox360 (even for very fast games)

average sound

Very smart sylish design. Excellent picture quality.

I don't think there are any.

Fantastic Picture - vibrant Excellent digital turen and onboard amplifier

Sound distorts over 2/3 volume

ability to save sound and vision setting for each input. ie you can change the picture profile for normal tv, digital tv, dvd etc

none

Value for money. Attractive styling. Slim mounting depth.

Looks very smart, good quality sound and easy to use.

The buitl in Freeview sometimes looses signal on certain channels.

Great looking TV, with super picture/sound quality and easy to use menus. Great value for money!

Can't think of anything right now...

picture quality! and for gaming and Blue Rays its amazing

sometimes the sound can seem to be to distorted if you have it over 25!

the sound is a but muffled, but other than that brilliant piece of kit

does not record programs or if it does i cant find out how. has two scart sockets but if you use one for sky the other fails to work, you have to unplug sky each time. heaven help you if it is being delivered by DHL. I have never come across inefficiency like it.

Great picture & sound

Nothing!!

Stylish, good picture, easy to set up

None

design, picture quality, stylish look in black

sound is good but can be batter

Good clear picture Nice shape and design Easy to use and connect to devices such as DVD etc

None to report so far!!!!

No complaints! good picture, great design etc

Looks very nice and easy to set up

Picture quality is not as good as expected, can't seem to get it right. you get the picture right on one channel and then on another one its poor

The image quality cant be faulted and the tv has alot of extras so you can improve sound and quality when watchig a film etc

The freeview installed in the tv is great when you can pick up a signal, and the image quality is better on freeview. However the menu option with the tv listings is very slow and sommetimes makes a buzzing sound when it cant process what your wanting.

Great Picture,and Sound

Dust Collector

looks good

shows dust

Good looking box. Light in weight. Easy to set up.

Remote control analogue/digital button poorly positioned near to ON/OFF button for elderly people. When moving the forefinger forward they cannot understand why they're just changing the channel or, worse, getting a different channel according to what happens to be selected in the other mode of reception.

Easy set-up.

Skin tones sometimes lack depth.

Looks good, easy set up and use

Dust magnet

Picture & sound very good, loads of option's settings to get the final picture/sound of your choice. Also very easy to navigate through menu options. Design of telly very nice as well.

A little slow to respond when turning on via your remote control, but thats all, the telly is great.

Looks good, does not take up too much room and is excellent value.

Easy and quick self set-up. Great reception, including freeview. Super picture quality on standard channels, freeview, Sky + and games consoles. Looks very smart too!

Sound adequate, but really needs a home cinema addition for large rooms

Very good colours, shows 'scenic' views brilliantly. Black edging adds to sleek styling. A great all round performer.

None comes to mind.

ligth weigth and easy to set up plenty of connections

like most lcds has trouble balancing true water colour pixels (noticable)
