Great looking, easy setup
"I was apprehensive about buying ANY HDTV, because I always felt like I did not know enough about the products. Buying from Costco eliminates that issue... if you don't like it, bring it back within 30 (? maybe more) days. So I checked the previous customer reviews, which were mostly positive and most said that it was easy to set up out of the box, which was another of my concerns. And is was EASY out of the box. One thing missing: HDMI cable. Buy it at Costco. 2 cables for $29.00, with cleaner and cloth. The TV is great, perfect size for our NY city apartment modest size bedroom. Picture is so clear. I asked myself.... what was I waiting for? Go GET IT. You will be satisfied, and if you are not, then bring it back to any Costco location."

Excellent product!
Pros: amazing picture easy set up
Cons: none
Model Number: #953232
"I blew my savings 'round NewYear on this TV 'cause my resolution is to spend as much time as possible in bed watching DVDs. Got it on line after reading reviews and it arrived in 3 days! Base set up was easy even for me (totally technically unapt) using a skinny screwdriver. Loved it, but than greed kicked in: if picture's so great on this 32", how amazing it'd be to have a bigger set...So I ordered 46" on line (arrived today, it's unbelievabe) and, sadly, I'll pack this set and return in store thanks to Costco's generous return policy. Seriously, this 32" Samsung is fantastic, buy it with confidence unless you HAVE TO see every individual eyelash on an ant."

Great pic, poor sound quality
"Bright sharp picture, but sound quality is poor; this may not be the TV for you if you are not going to connect it to an external sound system. I have the TV in my workout room, which it suits perfectively."

Great TV, but ...
Pros: great picture, easy set-up
Cons: too many bad pixels
Model Number: Samsung Series 5/540 32" LCD TV
"Just a fabulous picture, swivel stand, nice remote ... really about the best 32" 720p LCD TV. But, too many defective pixels for me particularly from a top-tier LCD panel maker. About a half-dozen bad pixels of which three are most noticeable. Zero tolerance for bad pixels in 2010."

Great TV
"We are very happy with this purchase. TV has great picture, especially with the HD cable boxes and HD channels. Clarity, color, etc. are all fantastic for a 720p.
Only slight con is the sound quality, as is with most flat screens. Would be best to have it connected to a SS system, especially in larger rooms.
Overall, very happy with this TV."

5 Stars if you exclude the remote
Pros: features, picture quality, computer picture quality, picture in picture, speakers/audio, cabinet design, controller features
Cons: controller design
Model Number: SV320XVT
"I'm using this TV primarily as a computer monitor and it is very crisp when connected at 1920x1080 via VGA. PIP is wonderful and can be used with any digital input or tuner input, but not the analog inputs (component, composite). You can even switch the audio output to be either with the picture in picture or main picture. The built in speakers are loud enough where I don't need to turn it up past 1/6th the total volume.
Over-the-air tuner was able to pick up about 30 channels locally, but only about 10 were viewable (no lag or pixelation) with 4 in HD.
The only con of this TV isn't with the TV, but the remote. The buttons are tiny, and tough to navigate in the dark. The channel up/down and volume buttons illuminate when pressed, but that doesn't help with any other function. Also the button feel a bit cheap, are tough to press, and make a nice click.
Overall, the quality of the TV far outweighs the design of the controller."

Perfect Bedroom Upgrade
Pros: picture and sound
Cons: nada
Model Number: LN32B540
"When it comes to electronics I like to make sure I make a wise choice...afterall it's my money.
Best decision made!!! I've used the same 32" JVC TV set for the past 13 years and have never had a problem...to this day it works perfect. After I've been told it's time to update to an HDTV and much research/comparison to other brands, Samasung was by far the best choice.
720p on this 32" is a perfect match. Unless you are looking for a much larger tv screen then don't waste extra $$ on a 1080p.
No problem programming the tv. I just hooked up the cable and the rest was a piece of cake."

Simply great
Pros: quality picture and sound
Cons: none
Model Number: LN32B540
"1080P would have been a bonus but the 720P is sufficient for a bedroom. Picture and sound are both great. Mine is hooked up straight to the cable coax. It receives 160 channels. The digital all look very good and the 15 or so HD look great. I think the Samsung is worth the few extra dollars."

Good TV - Not Great
Pros: very good hd especially viewing in front of tv
Cons: reduced field of view
Model Number: LN32B540
"I'm use to a 42" Plasma but purchased the 32" samsung 720 for bedroom based on reputation, Costco reviews, and excellent black Friday Price ($379)...HD picture is excellent, paying for a 1080 would have been overkill. However was shocked by lost of color when viewing from sides. Was aware that this was not unusual with LCD's so checked this specfically on store display. More noticeable at home. Not sure that this is deal killer yet - my 90 days aren't up."

All you need is 720p!
Pros: vibrant colors great contrast, excellent over-the-air tuner
Cons: epg hard to use
Model Number: LN32B540
"It took me a few weeks before I finally bought this Samsung and I am completely happy with the decision.
My main hangup was that it was a 720p set vs the 1080p like the new sets from Vizio. I read over and over again that for 32", 720p was all you needed, but I was skeptical.
I finally went to Costco after Thanksgiving to view the sets...the picture was more vibrant in the Samsung set vs the 1080p Vizio. It could have been the configuration, but the colors looked better, more contrast, and the picture seemed clearer on the Samsung set.
Figuring I couldn't go wrong with Costco's return policy, I took home the Samsung and plugged it into the antenna. The tuner did the autoscan, and I picked up all the major channels and numerous secondary channels in the Seattle area.
The picture is amazing for all the over-the-air broadcasts. I actually tuned the set to display a little less bright and a little less sharp vs the standard configuration. I hooked up our upconverting DVD player via the HDMI port and the picture is great, and the Wii looks fine using the component input.
My only complaint is that the EPG (electronic program guide) is not that intuitive/easy to use.
Thanks Costco!"

Great TV, Really great price!
Pros: great picture good sound super price!
Cons: none
Model Number: LN32B540
"I bought this tv for the bedroom, replacing a 27" Sony Trinitron which I bought over 15 years ago. The Sony was still working great, but wanted an HDTV in the bedroom. I have a 55" Samsung rear projection HDTV in the living room which I've had for about 10 years, it still works and looks great.
This new Samsung has a great picture, brilliant colors and deep blacks. It is hooked up to ATT U-Verse which brings in great HDTV reception and a very good navigator. The sound is good, no complaints. The stand was very easy to install and very sturdy, no complaints. I've had the TV about a week with absolutely no complaints and I bought it with a "Black Friday" price. (win, win)
I was a little concerned that 720p would not have as sharp a picture, but it is brilliant. Very happy indeed!"

Samsung
Pros: great picture good price!
Cons: no channel infon time dont sync up with cable!
Model Number: ln32b540
"Great TV! Can't complain about pic quality. This TV is good in every way. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is that I can't get no channel descripiton when I press info button. I don't like to use the cable box in the bedrooms so I hook it straight to cable. Now I have to rely on a certain channel to tell me what I'm watching. I can't also get the the time to sync up using auto I have to set it manually!"

Very good value
Model Number: LN32B540]
"Good TV for a small apartment or bedroom.
Rich colors. Excellent blacks. Whites and yellows could be better, but no complaints at this price and size.
Speakers are OK for a TV, but do not expect good bass from the small speakers.
If you mainly see movies, a good pair of external speakers with a Yamaha home theater receiver will dramatically improve your TV experience!
Get the best speakers you can afford!
If your computer has a HDMI socket and a dual core processor, movies from Hulu come out quite well on the TV.

Great Deal
Pros: great sound quality
Cons: channel selection
Model Number: Samsung 32" LCD HDTV
"I researched many TV's and found this to be the best deal around that I bought two before the sale was up. Glad I did. The only issue is the channel set up, I have the TV hooked up to the cable outlet from the wall, no cable box. The channels are quite different that my other channels when you go to the higher numbers. Example, I have many of the same channels, 1 in HD & the other normal. Overall great TV"

Bargain quality LCD unit.
Pros: deep rich colors., nice sound for a small tv
Cons: shiny bezal can sometimes be distracting.
Model Number: LN32B540
"Purchased this unit for the bedroom. The image quality is very good. Not sure why some members found it hard to assemble the base, it was very easy indeed. Perhaps they did not receive the instructions?
This is my second HD unit purchased from Costco, other one was a 50" Panasonic plasma. Really pleased with the additional 2nd year warranty, gives me great peace of mind as does their 90 day satisfaction policy."

What I've been looking for
Model Number: LN32B540
"Once the initial set-up completed the Samsung came to life with outstanding picture quality. I installed the TV in my bedroom and the sound quality suits me just fine. Only draw back was installing the stand the holes on the TV and the Stand itself didn't line up to all four holes. The hole pattern seems to be off by half the screw diameter. Just drilled the stand holes a little larger and installed all four screws.No real problem that couldn't be overcome.. Overall I very satisfied with the money I spent on this Samsung."

"This is our first HD TV and it lives up to its reputation. Great color, excellant sharpness. Setup was pretty straightforward, however - I'm a senior citizen and had to call on my son to help with the final connection and setup. After almost a month, we are delighted with our selection of the Samsung."
