32" LCD HDTV



Enjoy a theater-like experience in your own home with the 32" LN32A450. A remarkable 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio delivers an extraordinary picture comprised of vivid colors and outstanding quality. Want to feel the action, not just see it? A 6 ms response time promises smooth sailing and virtually no blurring when you're watching movies and sports events while SRS TruSurround XT™ delivers a virtual surround sound experience.



6 ms response time


One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to how long it takes pixels to turn from completely white to black and back again—the lower the milliseconds (ms), the faster the response time is. A fast 6 ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes.

10,000:1 contrast ratio


Contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this LCD TV. Get a more realistic, sharper picture quality that’s sure to catch your eye.

SAMSUNG's DNle - Digital Natural Image engine


SAMSUNG's exclusive Digital Natural Image engine makes the sharpest and clearest images possible, regardless of the signal you’re receiving. Five image processors and a six-time density enhancer ensure the best picture from any source with the truest colors and highest contrast.

HDMI-CEC


Control all of your High Definition Multimedia Interface connected devices with one-touch control in a single universal remote.

Hidden Bottom Speakers



Less is more. Just because you can’t see the stylishly concealed speakers doesn’t mean you won’t hear the unbelievably clear sound radiating from them.

Clear Picture, More Inputs and Great Value

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful
The Samsung LN32A450 has a great picture with 720p resolution and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio yielding an excellent image with dark blacks and good motion. The sound will not get that loud but is satisfactory at most volumes.

The Samsung LN32A450 is a step up from the LN32A330, with a third HDMI input and an increased contrast ratio from 8,000:1 to 10,0000:1. The price increases accordingly but many stores have the street price of the LNA450 at or below the price of the LNA330. Not sure why but they do.

Pros
Great Picture
Easy to access controls on the side
Stylish Modern Look

Cons
Sound is not the best, but standard for 32" TVs with builtin speakers.

Conclusion
If you are looking for a 32" Samsung the LN32A450 gives you great options for a great price, giving you a great looking LCD TV for a great price.
