You can’t go wrong with LN32C550. One of the best 32″ 1080p 60Hz HDTV out there., October 11, 2010

Nadeem (USA) –
This review is from: Samsung LN32C550 32-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LCD HDTV (Black) (Electronics)

I bought this TV after reading alot of reviews and a few visits to store to compare different 32″ size TVs offered by Sony, Samsung, LG and Panasonic. This was among the best and top of the line Samsung ‘LCD’ 1080p HDTV model in 32 inch series. Finally I narrowed down my search to Sony’s Bravia 32″ KDL32EX400 and Samsung’s LNC530 and LNC550.
All 3 HDTVs have a lot of things in common like 1080p res, 60Hz refresh rate, CCFL LCD Panel, HDMI/USB ports, Picture-in-Picture support etc, but there are also some diffs among these three. Samsung LNC550 stood out from the former (Sony KDL32EX400) in the following features.
–USB Media Player. The USB Media Player on Samsung is way ahead than any of its competitors. This things plays a wide variety of video/audio codecs (avi,mkv,mp4,H264,DivX, Xvid,MPEG1,MPEG2). You name it and they have it. It also supports the 5.1 audio (DTS Core, A52/AC3) and subtitle (.srt) files. Ofcourse, USB Media player functions faster and easily when u browse media using USB Hard Drive.
–DLNA ‘All Share’ Network Streaming. This is something really important for me in a TV since I have most of my media files on PC. The same USB Media Player in this TV also plays ‘flawlessly’ a number of audio/video (720p HD) streams directly from your PC.

You can use either Samsung’s PC Share Manager software or Windows 7 Media Player to share your PC media contents. (Both LNC530 and KDL32EX400 lack this)
–Supports an affordable Samsung LinkStick Wireless adapter which connects your TV to broadband router wirelessly.
–Connectivity Options (2 USB 2.0 ports, since more USB ports means you can connect more USB devices)
–Intuitive Samsungs Remote controls
–Intuitive OnScreen Menu Navigation
–Easy to reach touch buttons on front panel.
–Better Quality and material used in frame.
–Aesthetic, Clean Design and Looks.
