Lcd & Flat Panel Televisions

Introduced in summer of 2007 as a price/value LCD model. The model is manufactured with a Samsung LCD screen

Blacks increase in intensity and dark matter detail decreases significantly when viewing this LCD TV from dead straight in front.

Moving to the side slightly 5 to 10 degs increases dark shadow detail by 30% or more.

The Samsung 2332H performs well in this category compared with other LCD TV screens.

The short version:

Great LCD TV for watching movies! A little ghost-y sometimes, non-HD (or ED) programming looks kind ugly, but the picture quality is great; the unit is pretty; easy as pie to set up myself. Good price makes this a great value!

The Tolstoy version:

For some time I’d been wanting to get rid of our old, bulky, ugly television. When it started to develop a red spot on the right side of the screen, I started doing my DreamTV homework. I’d wanted to buy a flat TV for years. It was part of my five-year-plan after grad school. (No, really!)

Background Research

If you want LCD, then Samsung is the way to go; no ifs, ands, or buts here. Forget Sony as they use a Samsung LCD screen but jump up the price. Sure, Sharp is comparable, but I like the Samsung picture better. You can go round and round forever with the LCD vs. Plasma conundrum. All I read was confirmed when I saw that the LCD image is sharper and brighter whereas the Plasma image is better when watching a dark, somber show. It really is up to you, conditions in your TV room, and personal tastes.
