Excellent picture, easy setup, enough input connectors for digital cable TV converter, X-Box 360, and DVD player, decent audio, and good value for money.
Awsome set!
This is my second Widescreen LCD set (my first being a chintzy 17" model from Memorex).
Amazon does not deliver to Puerto Rico so I had to purchase mine from Circuit City in Ponce.
My criteria? I hate televisions which have an "on" light while the set is on. How retarded! I can see the television is on because the screen is on. Why do I need another idiot light below the screen to tell me it's on! Dee-dee-dee! The "idiot" light on this set is lit when the set is off. The light goes off when the set is turned on. Ok...I'm game.
Then I compared the image on this set to the other models within it's size and price range. No comparison! This set had a better picture than many others at up to 0 higher.
Come to Papa!
Took it home and I am a happy camper. I love the new version of Battlestar Galactica and I am in absolute Sci-Fi heaven! BSG is friggin' gorgeous on this set!
Minor draw back, not the televisions fault. I have Dish Network and FOX news looks like total Doo-Doo! I thought the set was bad and was ready to return it. But viewing other channels and in particular, DVD's... it's not the set but the signal.
I am loving this set more and more.
Great buy, highly recommended.

Add me to the list of very satified shoppers
After quite a bit of research we decided to buy our 1st HDTV - the Samsung LN32A450 - for an entertainment cabinet in our family room. A 32" screen is the largest we could fit in the space and we are extremely happy with our decision. Everything went very smooth (order, shipment. and set-up) and the picture is terrific. We could have bought a less expensive 32" television but the difference in picture quality (and hopefully the long term dependability) was worth it. At this point a 52" Samsung HDTV is on the "wish-list" for the basement.
Defective swivel stand
I really wanted to like the LN32A450. It looked great when I saw it in a store. My problem with the TV is related to the misaligned swivel stand that came with it. The stand requires some assembly. The holes that would accommodate the screws were misaligned such that the TV would not have been setting straight-on. A neck-piece that fits over the center of the stand kept popping out of place. Even after we inserted the next piece over-top of the neck, the neckpiece refused to line-up flush with the base of the stand. Further, the stand showed no indication that it would swivel. It was set in place at a bad angle. My wife and I worked on it for a long while, then gave up. We returned the Samsung LN32A450 and bought a Sony KDL-32M4000 in its place. No problems assembling the Sony. If you can't set up the TV to watch it, it doesn't matter how good the picture might be.
Go Sammy Go!!
I can't get over the picture quality of this TV. I have a 42" panansonic plasma in the living room but insist on watching TV in my son's room instead. Love the features although the sound is normal.
I saw the ratings on CNET and compared the TV to its competitors and saw the difference. Go ahead and buy this TV and you will not regret it.
