Samsung LN32A450

Purchased this TV in March 2009. Worked fine until September. 6 months. Now, randomly, a grey / blank overlay screen is popping up and could stay there for hours. Power off/on does not remove the blank… screen. Happens for any source (TV/DVD/etc). I have seen this defect with other customers on the web. So based on my experience i would NOT recommend this TV set to anyone. I will post back to tell about Samsung customer service (if good or not). UPDATED: After almost 3 weeks, still no news from Samsung customer service. I left 3 voice mails to their Houston representative (Complete Electronics Specialist, phone 281-477-3507) and these guys never answer their phone neither return voice mails. In the meantime my issue is getting worse: the blank.grey screen is now always there. So I will not purchase a Samsung TV again and do not recommend this TV to anyone.

I had this TV for about 8 month. I bought it at Walmart for about $700, you could get cheaper now. This TV has the most beutiful image quality. Although it says 720p, but it feels like you are watching… 1080p. The sound is good. The menus are easy to use. Watching football on this TV blows me every time I watch it. You won't regret it for having this TV. I think This TV is great for bedroom. All I can say is "I love my samsung TV" period.

I've had this tv for over a year and for the most part it's ok. The picture is excellent. The audio is problematic. At times it does not play well with digital channels. Samsung has replaced the… motherboard once but that didn't help. The problem occurs when there's a power outage. The set needs to be factory reset to cure the problem. There's a thread on this in the CNET forums and another one on the [...]. The key words to look for are "robotic sound". I believe this to be the case with most of Samsung's TV's. There's alot of unhappy people out there that think Samsung is not doing anything to resolve the issue.
