Samsung 32" LCD TV with Freeview, 25 Sep 2008
Great sized tv,but incredibly light.Straight out of the box,4 screws for fixing the stand,plug into the wall,connect aerial,turn it on then let the tv do the rest!!has a very good slight twist so you can turn the tv to face you without moving the base.loads of connection points for dvd,sky,music center,dab,and useful connections for watching camaras,or games consoles that connect from the front, so no pulling out tv to access the back.
I`m telling you,for this money,you`ve got it all!!!Did i say the picture and sound was terrific to,with loads of tweaks if you choose to.

Samsung LE32A436 TV, 8 Nov 2008
I've had this set 3 months now and I'm very happy with it: the price is about as good as I've seen. I bought it because it's been the Best Buy in several tech magazines for about a year. Simple set-up and excellent picture - sounds good, too. Remote could be a bit better: you can't use it by pressing a button as it sits on the table, you have to hold it in your other hand. Minor quibble. As usual the Amazon process was smooth and fast.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Samsung LE32A436T, 4 Jan 2009
My ageing Bush 28-inch CRT has annoyed me ever since Teletext decided to update the software on the Freeview menu and render it next to useless, so it seemed a great excuse to head into town and go and finance a new set. I was concerned initially that a 720-DPI TV might be in some way a halfway house that would need replacing with a full HD set in a mere 12 months time, but after doing my research I realised that a good progressive-scan 720-DPI set is almost a match for a larger non-progressive-scan 1080 set.
32 inch is a key screen size, in terms of both price point and screen performance. There are several manufacturer's who offer screens of this size for under £400 retail, so your choice is far from limited. Like many buyers, I was toying with the idea of going unbranded and aiming at around £300, but these bargain-basement sets offer poor contrast ratios and less than concrete residual values when it comes time to upgrade in the future. Do not be tempted by these win-free-save alternatives. Take my advice and spend a little more.
Samsung's Slovakian-made 32" model offers a very attractive piano-effect black surround, a well-regarded 32" high-contrast screen and 10-watts a side Tru-Surround audio output. It also has the de rigeur twin HDMI connections for those crucial Xbox and Upscaler DVD toys. The screen has been noted for it's quality in several user reviews so far, and it is just as impressive as it's reputation suggests. The only drawback is that it's refresh rate cannot match similar priced rivals such as LG's 32" TVs, but this is nothing more than a tiny annoyance, and a small price to pay for Samsung's class-leading colour definition and image balance. Dark areas are solid, colours bold and lines are razor sharp, and the 336 never seems caught out by an image that outfoxes it.
The thing that will probably blow you away more than any other is the audio quality. Trusurround emphasises the higher frequency sound carrier information to the centre of the stereo picture in a similar way to the centre channel on a good Pro-Logic 5.1 system. Despite the lack of on-paper power, this will knock your socks off with it's spread of harmonics and focus of soundstage. It has truly made me question the necessity of adding a 5.1 speaker system to the set.
In terms of user-friendliness, the only thing that counts against it is the slow speed at which the Freeview menu and channels operate, but apart from this the set allows for easy operation and a clear, concise menu system.
All in all this is a fantastic and complete package, not only at this price point, but also several notches above. Samsung's HD-ready range has won many fans, not to mention many awards in the last twelve months. It is easy to see, and hear, exactly why.
