I bought the Samsung LN32C530 about a month a go and figured I'd express my initial opinions with regard to the advantages and disadvantages of the unit. I can report that I have, in general, been happy with the Samsung LN32C530 besides two or three problems more to do with me than the TV.
Positives - The picture is fantastic, my friends own Vizios from 2008 which range between 26" up to 46" and in comparison, they are darker and unsaturated in contrast to this unit from Samsung. 720p/1080i or downcoverted 1080p looks outstanding, the picture quality at 1366x768 would seem clearer, brighter and more vibrant than other inexpensive 32 inch 1080p units I have come across.You can only notice jagged edge pixels when you sit under two feet away from the screen. Which, with a television of this size, is definitely far too close. I sit 6 feet away. Edges are smooth, OTA Hi-def with bunny ears antenna would seem to be flawless.
Upconverted 480p subject matter looks great for it's format. The actual quantity of selections to play with are great. But, even so, this particular Television looked top notch on it's factory default settings. This TV in addition has multiple sound settings for instance Movie and Clear voice modules. By the way, the speakers are hidden and loud, I set it to to 6-7 volume (out of 50) when using the Playstation 3, 8-10 when watching TV. The Samsung LN32C530 has very good sound quality for it's wattage.
Negatives- 8ms refresh rate, many people may not notice but, going from a CRT (SD) to an LCD (HD), it's expected. In games it's not noticeable but,when viewing things like scrolling text it is noticeable, but, this could be linked to the tv being 60hz. One more thing is this it is not true 1080p .However 1080p content material itself appears fantastic , it's being displayed at 1366x768.Obviously, it is a very subjective matter. from a distance of 6 feet away, 1080p and 1080i/720p look similar on the 32". But, if you wish to future proof yourself, purchase the SamsungLN32C530.
Lastly, with regard to peripherals, the stand is okay but, you might have to tighten the screws until they stop turning to make it stable.
