Yet another fine Samsung TV in my home April 2, 2010 C. Stone (PA USA) 17 out of 18 found this review helpful
I own a 56 inch Samsung DLP (have for some time now) and love the thing. So when it was time to get a flat screen for my bedroom (the old CRT just had to go), I went right to Samsung. My needs were 32 inches, 2 or more HDMI inputs, at least one analog composite input, at least one analog component input and a QAM tuner. I looked at a few models from other vendors (the usual suspects, Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi, etc., excluding Visio, not a chance that junk enters my home) and for the most part they were very similar in the features they offered. This model was a little better than some of the others in the same price/size range and it had some extra cool features (ability to display images from camera) and given my past experience with Samsung, I purchased this model.
I mounted the TV to the wall (using a Cheetah) and cannot be more pleased. The QAM tuner found all of the cable channels that were available (although it would have been nice to just have it hunt for digital channels, I had to go back after the hunt and manually remove the analog junk). The other inputs worked as expected. The remote control is not bad but it lacks a button to turn Closed Captions on/off (you need to navigate the menus to turn on/off, what a hassle). Picture quality is great, and the sound is what you expect for built in speakers (not great, but sufficient)
All of that said, I give this baby two thumbs up...
Outstanding Picture Quality; Very Good Value April 28, 2010 Jack Gadzala 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
One month of viewing has reinforced my initial experience that this Samsung LN32C530 32-Inch 1080p is an outstanding LCD HDTV. After researching Consumer Reports and several online ratings sites, the choice came down to the LG 32LH30 32-Inch 1080p and a comparable Vizio (also 32" 1080p). Both the other two were less expensive, but the research suggested that the Samsung quality and features would be worth it. It was correct. The picture quality is outstanding, viewing the TV off-angle only results in a minimal brightness reduction (less than I've typically noticed in other LCDs). Sound is fine (I use the TV speakers - not a home theater system for this TV). Satisfaction is 100%.
A GREAT TV FOR THE PRICE March 18, 2010 Mark G. Johnson 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Love this tv. This tv is so new that there is not much info out there on it. I did find that it is 60,000:1 contrast with the new 4.0 energy savings setup. Turned it on and the picture was as you would find on most Samsung LCD's. Very clear, bright and detailed. I also have a 46", 550 series and the sound from this 32" 530 series is some what better.
The one issue maybe that this is so new to the market that techs from Samsung really don't have any helpful info. to help you with questions. But when I called they said that this should change around the first of April 2010. All in all I'am very pleased with this tv so far.
Working great and I like it May 4, 2010 Pen Name 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Purchased the LN32C530 for the living room a couple days ago and am loving it.
Have not had any problems / noticed anything I don't like.
Hooked up an Mac Mini to the HDMI port. For the audio from the computer to the tv, you just connect a 1/8" (3.5mm) Stereo Male to 1/8" (3.5mm) Stereo Male cable between the computer and TV. (The tv doesn't have an digital/toslink audio out port).
Loving it so far.
6-14-10 Update:
One thing I don't like is once a month or so, using the remote I accidentally put the tv into shop/store mode.
Wish there was a way to figure out what I was pressing that was doing it. I think it has to do with my holding down the volume button for long periods for one thing.
The Samsung LN32C530 TV has an important advantage June 5, 2010 William E. Bender (Ocean City, NJ USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I recently purchased the Samsung LN32C530 TV and I love it. We installed it in the bedroom, and it has a feature that is a big advantage for us: the "timer on" to wake us in the morning. We use it as our alarm clock to awaken us. Almost all TVs have a "timer off" feature or a "sleep timer", but Samsung is one of the few TV manufacturers who offer the "timer on" advantage.
Also, I become amused by a review that complains that he had to put 4 screws into 4 screw holes to install the base. Is he joking? We installed the base and had it operational in about 10 minutes with no problems, and I am a senior citizen.
This is my 2nd Samsung TV purchase this year, and they offer a superior picture at minimal price.Samsung LN32C530 32-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LCD HDTV (Black)
