"Outshines LG and SONY" 2009-09-03By

We looked and looked. Finally standing for almost an hour looking at the LG and SONY 32" 720's side by side. Can honestly say after looking at the 1080's that in this size the 720 outshines the 1080. If you are looking at a 50" set then it's a different story. Color was fantastic and superior to the LG in my opinion. Ease of set up is great. Design and layout of the remote is intuitive, making tweaking to get your final settings of the flesh tones, contrast, and sharpness easily to your exact likings. Remote has some buttons all! owing you direct adjustment of certain settings without going into the full menus to reset them. For a bedroom view of 8' to 10' the 32" is just great. I've had this TV for just about one week and have been trying to decide if I really need to upgrade to HD but guess I'll go all the way for the full experience. This TV really blows away your viewing experience. We purchased the 4 year extended warranty so reading the few negative reviews doesn't bother me! There will always be those Monday morning fabrications that will throw a clunker into the works. But I am pleased to the maximum from this purchase and highly recommend the Samsung LN32B360 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV.

This was the original review for the earlier model of this TV(LN32A330) however I feel it still applies as other Samsung models are known to have the same issues.
This LCD was a steal for the kind of picture and sound quality it provided. We rarely had any issues with it until now. One day when we came home we were looking forward to just vegging on the couch to watch our program. Grabbed the remote and pressed the power button. The Direct TV console turned on followed by the familiar red light at the bottom center of the tv. This is usually followed by a distinct ringing beep that would indicate the power is turned on. There was no beep. No ring. No sound. No picture. Just pur! e black with the red power light winking at us. We tried everything to resurrect the picture including disconnecting the power cord and using different wall sockets. Nothing. I called Samsung worldwide and the service agent said that it is a service call issue however since we bought the TV on June 30 2008, we are no longer covered by the warranty as it is now August 2009. It amuses me how crap like this happens soon after the warranty runs out. I looked all over online and many Samsung owners of various models and sizes have experienced the same thing, a defective power supply and it will have to be replaced. I also looked to see if I could do it myself if I buy the part and save a little scratch. But it turns out that it involves using a soldering gun and having failed shop class, I figured I would call a professional. Repair will cost upwards of $250 including service call, parts and labor. Just when you think you're getting a bargain, just be aware that it could cost yo! u in the long run. Next time I don't think I'll worry about sp! ending a little more if it means not having to go through this headache.
