Samsung LNR329D 32-Inch HD LCD TV
Great assortment of features plus good picture and sound.
Originally, I had the Samsung LN-R3228. I upgraded to the Samsung LN-R329D, as I liked the cosmetics of the set much better plus it had many more features. The great features include a built-in HD receiver for over-the-air HD tv signals, a programable remote, real 3:2 pulldown for 480i source material, better sound with the hidden speakers, and a faster \\"refresh rate\\" of 8ml, versus 12ml that's on the R3228.  I also now have HD cable tv and can see the benefits of hi-def on this set.  I find that dvds and hi-def cable tv do look great. Standard tv programs do seem to have a bit of the \\"clayface\\" artifact that many HD tv sets have. The poor quality of the low-def analog signal is upconverted to the native resolution of the LCD tv. The processing of this signal is designed to eliminate noise in the picture, so there is an unnatural look to Standard tv fare. It is very watchable, just not as nice as progressive scan dvd or real HD tv.  Many video enthusiasts knock the Samsung LCD tvs, because of the DNIe feature. This feature is designed to enhance the picture by adjusting black level, white level and sharpness. Also, the DNIe feature features 3D noise reduction to eliminate motion artifacts. This feature cannot be turned off.  I do find that most of the time, IMO, DNIe does seem to help the picture. In dark scenes, it's touch and go. This set does have good black levels. Some very dark scenes, like night scenes out in the woods, will be super dark grey, as opposed to jet black. Most LCD tvs are like this anyway.  I've had this set for two weeks now and have viewed it several hours per day with HD cable, Standard cable and dvds. I can say that it is an acceptable tv set. HD looks fabulous, well-transferred dvds look great too. Standard cable varies from poor to acceptable. I have seen no ghosting or motion artifacts on this set.  If you are a purist and want to be able to adjust and tweak every variable possible on an LCD tv, this likely will not be for you. If you arethe type of person who simply wants a good picture and has no interest in spending a lot of time adjusting every aspect of the picture, then I think this set is just fine.      As for the blue light that the other poster complained about... I agree that it would be better if this light was just a tiny \\"dot\\" as opposed to a large circle around the power button. However, it goes OUT when the tv is turned on! Also, when you turn off the set, if it annoys you, simply put a piece of paper over it and darken it! It does not bother me enough to affect my rating of this product.
