With good blacks and even better colors, the 32-inch Samsung LN32A450 is one of the better 32-inch LCD TVs currently available, according to reviews. This is a 720p set (instead of the higher 1080p), but experts say that resolution is appropriate for this screen size. The set does a nice job with standard-definition TV signals. Styling is sleek, thanks to its hidden speakers. If you have a little more to spend and a slightly bigger space, the set's 37-inch brother, the Samsung LN37A450 (*Est. $765) is equally well regarded. If you are on a tighter budget, the 32-inch AOC Envision L32W761 (*Est. $550) doesn't provide quite as impressive a picture, but is still a solid performer at a hard-to-beat price.
Users and experts say that the 32-inch Samsung LN32A450 is an excellent performer. CNET provides the first expert review, and the site does a nice job outlining the TV's positives and negatives. Most other opinions come from users posting at sites such as Amazon.com and BestBuy.com.

1. CNET
CNET's David Katzmaier says the Samsung LN32A450 is a more than worthy successor to Samsung's well-received LNT3253H, and adds that the LN32A450's great picture quality and nice feature set puts it ahead of the "rest of the 32-inch LCD pack." This extensive and well-done review includes numerous comparisons to competing LCD TVs.

3. Amazon.com
There are twice as many reviews for the Samsung LN32A450 at Amazon.com as at BestBuy.com, and the pattern of satisfaction seems similar. One user rates the set highly, despite complaining of weak sound and an inadequate user manual. Another has a customer service issue, but loves the TV itself. Nearly everyone else seems happy without reservations, and only a handful of owners give it less than four stars.
