User Reviews about Samsung UN32C5000 32-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LED HDTV (Black)

I have this and im sure im getting another for my pc. one bad thing look at the tv standing or sitting to the side and the picture gets lighter. My mom's 32 LCD sony does is to. I was watching a tv show and on the show there was a hdtv in the backround it also looked like the screen was getting bright i think most of the hd tv's do this. this tv is the best i have seen and its built really well. heavy base, and the tv sits on a solid chunk of clear plastic, its built like a tank and has a very good picture better with dvd and even better on an hd channel, nice. from 1 to 10 i give it a 9 -- sam sony

Wow - what a great TV. Everything about this TV is awesome functionally and it is beautiful aesthetically.

A couple of minor things to mention;

1.) I hate the way they built the connections on the left side of the TV so close to the edge. They at least could have had them facing down where there may be more room. USB and Wireless devices aren't too bad but HDMI and any other cable sticks out the side. I ruined an HDMI cable trying to get it to bend enough to not show. Bad design.

2.) It does have some flashlighting if you know what I mean. There are definite bright spots throughout the screen in all black scenes. I have two other Samsung TV's (both of them are LCD, this one is LED) and they have some flashlighting too. Seems to be inherit in all LCD\LED screens - some more than others and you never know how bad your's will be until you get it and use it.

All in all I would buy this TV again since the picture is outstanding and the features and functions are wonderful but it could have been just that much better without the issues above. 4 Stars due to the issues above - otherwise a great TV. -- Excellent TV

First off, I'd like to note that I used a 360 and PC with the TV.

Currently, it's the best-looking HDTV we have in the house. I've never seen my 360 games look or play this good. There is almost ZERO input lag when gaming. Colors are vivid, blacks are the darkest I've ever seen, and everything just kind of pops. I haven't tested the sound, although several reviews note the built-in speakers are terrible.

I don't use built-in speakers, so that wasn't an issue. If you're looking for a cheap THX sound experience, go for Klipsch 2.1 Computer speakers. The sound is as good as many home theater sound setups.

I haven't tested it with my PS3 yet but may update it with more info on that later. For those interested, here are the calibration settings I used which I found online:

If you're playing in a dimly lit room though, turn up the backlight setting. -- Fantastic Slim HDTV

Previous reviewers pretty much cover it: elegant physical packaging, very slim and easy to setup. I use only HDMI, so I cannot comment on setup with older connection types.

The good: with a bright, colorful image, the video quality is unbelievable. They aren't kidding when they advertise 3,000,000:1 contrast ration. It's a 32" display, so I haven't been bothered by the refresh rate - I personally haven't noticed any motion blur, even when playing PS3 games - Game Mode on or off. Simple to customize and integrates well with my Logitech Harmony remote (note: don't setup like a default Samsung TV - use the individual commands to access inputs from the menu of options).

The bad: the LCD / side-lit LED bleed took some getting used to. I played with the settings quite a bit to eliminate the fan-out of light from the corners - Movie mode works great - but it's very difficult to get a completely black background. I almost returned the unit, but after tweaking the settings, decided to keep it. To be honest, part of the reason I kept the TV was I saw someone else's new Vizio LCD unit; I quietly noticed right away how much more I liked the picture on the Samsung LED.

This is a great TV, but 4 stars because of the light bleed. However, I would definitely recommend this set to others. -- Fantastic Display but with some Bleed Through

This is my second Samsung HDTV. I have 55 inch and it's the Cats Pajamas so I when I needed a smaller screen, I went with Samsung again. This tv has an incredible picture. I must say that for an LCD screen, the off angle viewing is superb. The picture is still quite clear from the side, with hardly any noticeable dimming or fading. Maybe it's due to being LED lit.

I'm not a fan of 60hz tv's, but this one seems to do well. I use the "movie" mode (definitely gives the smoothest picture) and leave the edge enhancement off. Using these settings, the tv seems to work very well for fast motion scenes and live sports action. Not really any cons to this tv except that in order to connect it to your wireless router, you need to buy Samsung's wireless adapter separately. You can't use a generic one. Otherwise, no complaints. -- Great off-angle viewing
