Samsung LN32B360 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV
Posted by waemam on December 28, 2009

After weeks of research, comparing and contemplating all the various choices I had when it came to LCD TVs of this size and price range, I decided this Samsung was the one for me. I took it home, removed it out of the box, assembled it, turned it on and as I had expected, was really impressed by what this TV had to offer.
The picture quality is absolutely amazing. Especially when watching any blu ray movie. It just looks so crisp, colorful and the image moves so smoothly. The picture on this 720p TV looks just as brilliant as a 1080p TV of the same 32 inch size. I have a Playstation 3 connected to the TV using a Mediabridge Ultra Series HDMI cable and am still astonished today by how all my videogames have never looked, felt, and sounded so good before. This TV definitely is excellent for playing videogames, especially with its exclusive “Game Mode” which makes the games move even more smoother and more life-like. Picture settings and sound settings are both fully customizable as well as feature preset settings. The TV has simple, easy to follow menu screens that only took me a few moments to navigate through and learn. The remote is also simple and easy to use.
I only have two complaints about this TV and they are relatively minor. Firstly, while the sound from the speakers is plenty loud and life-like, I would have wanted the speakers to have a little more bass to them. At a few instances when watching regular TV programming, it sounds clear but at the same time does sound kinda flat. However, they sound great when playing movies and games through my Playstation 3. Lastly, the picture loses some of its color when viewing the TV from the side. The TV is in one corner of my room and I have it facing diagonally towards the center of my room. Meaning, I view it from the side on occasion. When I do, the color fades out a bit. I heard this is very typical of LCDs and do see the exact same thing with other brands as well.
Some people will opt for the other, more expensive, 32 inch LN32B460 model also made by Samsung because that model has 3 HDMI outputs compared to 2 HDMI outputs on this TV. However personally, I only need 2 HDMI outputs, one being for my Playstation 3, the other for the cable box. So a third HDMI output was really unnecessary for me. Plus, I love the glossy all-black finish of this TV. The other model has a different finish.
Overall, I give this TV a 9.8/10, which is the highest rating I’ve given compared to any other 32 inch LCD. I’m extremely happy and look forward to years and years of use from it and will purchase another Samsung TV in the future. You can’t go wrong with Samsung TVs, they are quality TVs in every sense of the word.
