Samsung LNS3292D 32-Inch LCD HDTV
Samsung all the way!
The LNS3292D has excellent features while keeping you and your wallet full. Really quickly, the LNS3292D has: 5000 to 1 contrast ratio (the higher the better), a wide viewing angle (you don't have to sit dead center), 8 millisecond response time (the lower the better, 8ms is average for a good TV), S-PVA panel (Industry leaders Sony and Samsung teamed up to create a high performance LCD panel. The S-PVA is it, and this TV's got it), Game mode (Samsung and Microsoft also worked together to create the proper performance tweaks needed for today's high definition games. My Xbox 360 games look like someone passed a bunch of Photoshop filters over them. Awesome!) All this and more for under 1300? Sweet! The only negative things are: Remote Control (is really generic so don't throw away those originals) Custom Color Settings Memory (only one custom setting so you have to make a choice good enough for all inputs.) 1 Component input (would have liked to see two.) Please note these are minute details and should only bother the video/audiophiles. If you are an entry level HDTVer like me and want to make a big splash into high def without breaking the bank, this is it. The time is now, reward yourself. You deserve it. Go with Samsung, go with the LNS3292D and get more enjoyment out of your television. I did and I don't regret it.
