Samsung LNR329D 32-Inch HD LCD TV
Samsung LNR329D Great LCD
Let me start off by saying how overjoyed I am with this television.  I, probably much like you are, was very hesitant to buy this particular Samsung model, mostly due to the fact that you can't go to a brick and mortar and see it in person.  I went by specs alone, the higher contrast ratio, HD-OTA (ATSC) tuner; and other specs lured me to it.  I wanted to ultimately use this LCD TV for TV Viewing, DVD viewing, Xbox, Gamecube, some DVD Picture slideshows via the DVD player, and more than likely, although not yet, plugging a Mac Mini into it so that I can do a quick email or web check while watching TV.    That being said, this TV was bought for a bedroom.  I'll start by saying that this TV is unbelievable in its clarity of all signals but I am especially impressed with the HD quality using the $20 Zenith over the air antenna.  It is ridiculous how clear the picture is over the air vs. how the cable signal shows.  Thus far playing video games is great so long as you use the appropriate cables, component or S for the Nintendo.  I will update how the Xbox 360 looks when I find one to buy at regular price.  I have just gotten an up-converting Samsung DVD player that connect via HDMI and it looks great with store bought DVD's; and I would say they are a hare off the HD quality which is as good as it's going to get at this point, and once you see it you'll understand, it not bad or worse than HD its just apparent that the films weren't shot with an HD camera.  Like for instance if you compare LOST on ABC-HD to say something like The Van Helsing DVD being up-converted, if you flicked back and forth you can see a slight difference, which has nothing to do really with the hardware you have but has to do with the ways movies were and mostly still are filmed.  Star Wars I,II,III being the exceptions.  Then there is the shocking size of this TV, its all screen and its much bigger than I expected it to be.  You should go to the store and see the Samsungs 32\\" models they have available to get a rough estimate of how large it is.  I was overjoyed with its size.  I would like to address the blue light issue; when the TV is OFF there is a blue light that comes on around the power button on the TV itself, its not that bright, and I find it useful to let you know the TV is in fact OFF so I don't walk away with it on.  Regardless some people can find this annoying in a bedroom if you find things like bright alarm clock displays or the VCR time annoying.  It's a non-issue for most of us though but I thought it should be addressed as it is there and part of the set.  I have had the TV for weeks now and love it.  Cons: Remote control is ok.  Slow surfing of channels on ATSC tuner, i.e. there is a slight delay but if you have DirecTV then you your already used to this. Bigger than you think. Only 1 HDMI input (they all only have one except for Dell's not so good TV's, WTF is up with that?)  No quick start guide to tell you how to plug in the base, you have to use your best judgment, it not hard, but when you pay this much for something you don't want to accidentally damage it.  Pro's: ATSC Tuner. Nice Remote. The Blue Off Light (subjective item). The book is a large bound book so it explains EVERYTHING! Large Screen Size.  Quality of build. Super thin.  Extra Light for its size.  Plentiful inputs.  Intelligent Inputs.  DNIe.  Aesthetically simple and pleasing.  Blacks are black!  No Artifacts in action sequences. Affordable pricing.  ***********************  Update  ***********************  The XBOX 360 plays incredibly well on this at a native 720P, absolutely sharp and crisp.  Its mindblowing how far things have come.  I have come to understand that the $20 HDTV antenna doesn't work for everyone.  I am in the NYC market within 12 miles of Manhatten so my signal is clear.  IF your far from a major market you will need cable or satellite to get the HDTV reception.  I don't want to lead anyone astray.  The next update will include either a media centerpc or mac mini attached to the TV.  ***********************  Update  ***********************  I have one dead pixel.  Right in the middle of the LCD after a little more than 60 days.  I called Samsung and after a painless phonecall someone was dispatched to look at the TV, but its been 2 weeks since the guy came so I am going to follow up.  More to come soon.    ***********************  Samsung called and asked me to fax them the all receipts for the LCD 3 weeks after the service technicians visit.  They then called me within the week and informed me that i would be contacted within 14 business days for a replacement with a new LCD of the same model, but the only caveat is currently that Samsung has to come to my home with the LCD and they will take away the old one. As such someone must be home from 8 to 12 or 1 to 5 for this to occur.  Still awaiting hte phone call and its been about 10 business days.
