Perfect for RV Mounting in Narrow Clearance by Slide-Out
 
Review Date: October 30, 2009
Reviewer: OPsDad, Greater Baton Rouge, LA
I purchased this TV because it is so thin. I have a 2006 Triple-Slide 5th Wheel, and it had a cabinet for an old CRT-style TV. Putting the Sammsung ("Sammy") on the stand in that cabinet wasted a huge amount of space. So I made a door for the front of the cabinet from 3/4 inch birch plywood, and stained it to match the color of the cabinet. I used a flat screen mount screwed to this door, and hung the Sammy on that. About 2 inches of clearance for the slide out, and about 15 cubic feet of storage space is recovered. And, it looks VERY sanitary. The door opens with just a perfect amount of clearance, and we have all of our Blue-Rays and DVDs in there, along with books and other stuff. Makes the RV "better than new" in several ways.

Now, about the TV.

I got done just in time for Game 2 of the world series. Stunning. Unlike our home LCD, this monitor has 120 hz. It's fast. You can SEE the baseball heading for home plate CLEARLY. Not a blur. The unit is beautiful, the touch of color is classy. There is a nice little light that would light up the stand if we were using the stand, and it shines right onto our Satellite STB perfectly as we have it mounted. Picture quality is the best I've ever seen in a 32 inch TV. We also use this as a monitor for a MacbookPro in our RV. We can sit or lie on the couch with wireless keyboard and Mouse, and see fine... I'm typing this that way right now!

Set up was a breeze. The only catch was that my satellite box doesn't give the TV a time feed, had to set date/time manually. No big deal. I find the location of the inputs to be just fine, and there are lots of them. Cable management is included with the TV, a nice plus. One negative, and a small one: instead of a standard "computer" style power cord, it has a fixed cord. The cord is a 90 degree plug style cord, and it doesn't go thru the hole in my cabinet, so I have to enlarge the hole to get it thru.

So far, this is the best TV I have ever owned, and I have 3 other flat screen TVs, another Samsung, and 2 Sony Bravias. All are nice, but this LCD is just so pretty, picture wise and design of the unit. If it has no issues, then I'm a Sammy guy all the way, and I have really been happy with my Sonys. If there are any issues, I'll be sure and update.

I oredered this on Amazon thru vendor "Vanns". It arrived days early, via freight, and the driver carried it right in to the RV for me. 1100 plus was a lot to pay, and I think it was worth it.
Wow

I was expecting a great picture and it exceeded my expectations and thin and lite...
I needed a 32" because or space limitations and there are very few 1080p 32" sets.....The led tech looks like the wave of the future.......even makes non hd look great
Great TV, great service from Amazon

Reviewer: M. Bekishev,
I have been watching my UN32B6000 for a week now. Here is my short summary:
1. Great TV, picture quality is incredible, I really enjoy it (I have Dish HD).
2. Decent sound, I do not understand why other reviewers have complained about it.
3. Viewing angel is typical for Samsung TVs, slightly better than on my previous LCD.
Now, the main question many people may ask, is it worth it to spend extra $200-$300 to buy LED vs. LCD? I have another 32' Samsung 640, 1080P, 120hz., which I bought four months ago. 640 series was made for Best Buy and is analog of 650 series that you could buy on Amazon. I found that LED edges LCD on picture quality, just a little bit. There is no difference in sound quality. If you like a new innovating design, great picture quality, improved power efficiency and need a thin, lighter TV, you should buy LED. If you would like to save money, you will be fine by buying comparable LCD.
You can't go wroing with Samsung

I have been a Samsung customer for quite some time now. I have never had a problem with any Samsung product and this 32" LED TV is no different. The picture this TV displays is noticeably crisper, clearer and almost 3D like compared to the Samsung LCD TVs we have. I both a 19" LCD in the kitchen and 46" LCD in the living room. I would definitely reccomend this TV if you are in the market for a LED TV.
Quick delivery, easy setup

Reviewer: Loan Arranger, Southwest Fla, USA
I was a little bit apprehensive as I had never ordered anything this large over the internet before and was concerned about possible shipping damage. The Amazon delivery was fast (as usual) and the TV was well packed and supported, so I had no damage problems to worry with. The set-up proceedure was well described in the Samsung manual and was easy to follow. This is not insignificant as you are actually setting up a computer and the old days where you just plug it in to cable and power and turn it on are definately gone. I did take the time to read other customer reviews both good and bad, and based on comments in these, I knew a little beforehand how I wanted to set the picture up. I got this TV for the bedroom and sat it on a stand, so no problems with a wall mounting, but unless you are well versed in setting up a HDTV, you should allow at least an hour to go through the setup. It's not that difficult, but you will be happier with the results if you do it right the first time. My former son-in-law didn't take the time to set up properly and watched his set for over a year until he realized he wasn't getting High Def, only standard definition (true story)!! Anyway, we are very happy with the results.
Great Product

This tv fits particular needs in terms of size and expectations. It fits a cabinet in my bedroom. It will serve my tv tech needs for years. The downside of the latter capability is dealing with options, capabilities and questions I often don't know how to answer. To minimize frustrations, get help setting it up (including quick start).
Good Purchase

Reviewer: G. Garcia,
I'm very happy with the purchase of the 32" Samsung. I would have prefered to purchase a bigger TV but LED's don't come in 37" size so I had to chose between the 32" or getting rid of my cabinet which I'm not ready to do. I got it in time to watch the Winter Olympics and enjoyed the color and detail of the picture. I rely on others for TV reviews as I don't pay too much attention or watch too many sports but the reviews were accurate that it's an excellent TV.
Great experience!

Reviewer: James F. Haas, New Market, MD
Kudos to Amazon on shipping. I ordered this TV at midnight on Friday and it was delivered on Monday by UPS. I certainly can't ask for any better service than that.

The TV is great! Setup was a breeze and it synched right up with my cable box. The picture is awesome and the sound is really good for internal speakers. I have it set up with the default settings for now but am looking forward to playing with the tools and tweaks when I have some time. We are currently running on the antenna connection from the cable box because the new HD cable box won't be here until Saturday. Since the picture is so good hooked up this way which is the worst quality signal, I can't wait to see what it looks like when I use an HDMI cable connection which is the best quality signal.

If you want LED technology, I definitely recommend this Samsung model. It is still a little pricey but the value is there. I will try to update the review when I get the HD Cable box and Blueray player installed next weekend.

Update - Comcast installed the HD cable box using an HDMI connection and the picture is awesome - big improvement over the antenna connection. Now we have the dilemna of actually not watching some TV shows we used to because they are not in HD. Interesting sidepoint - my cable bill actually decreased by $30 when I added 2 HD-DVR set-top boxes and dropped the premium channels I had (we hardly ever watched them) - a very pleasant surprise. Love this TV and will be getting a 46" model for the family room to replace my older 36" Sony Trinitron HDTV (there is no comparison in picture quality)that weighs about 200 pounds - hoping for an end of year deal.
Great for Solar Power Home
 
Review Date: December 31, 2009
Reviewer: RCB, NM, US
We are off-grid solar and were worried that a new larger tv would be too big a drain on our system. We found that this set measured 50 va when on, compared to 75 va from our 20 yr old 19" 'regular' tv that we are replacing. That is 1/3 less power and a much larger image. Pretty huge jump in picture quality too. We are totally pleased with the unit so far (came yesterday), and the HD box isn't even here yet. Setup was painless and only took a few minutes to get up and running. Design is incredible - that it all is in that thin frame.
Great TV!
 
Review Date: January 17, 2010
Reviewer: George Hesselbacher, Steamboat Springs, CO, USA
I got the Samsung UN32B6000 tv because of size and weight issues with the location for installation. After looking at reviews by other buyers on multiple web sites for this and other 32" LED tvs (of which there are not many), I chose the Samsung and am extremely pleased. I purchased it from Amazon because of a great price and free delivery.

The setup was quite easy, and the picture is amazing. HD output is fantastic, and analog TV sources are much better than I expected. Upconverted DVD content is really good on this set. As with most flat panel televisions, the sound is only adequate. The system does come with a clear voice setting for the sound and that has helped me hear dialog in TV show, DVDs and Blu-Ray movies. Best of all, the clear voice setting allows me to watch sporting events at a much lower volume than my old, analog tv , and that keeps my wife happy.

Installation was quite easy, but buyers should be aware that all connections on the set were quite recessed. I used a low profile wall mount and as a result, adding cables after the initial installation is quite a challenge. Careful pre-installation planning of cable requirements is a must. There are a lot of connections on the set (4 x HDMI, one of which is for an HDMI to DVI cable for use with most HD cable boxes, coax for cable in, 2 USB, ethernet, component and digital audio and a PC connection if you don't have HDMI output on your PC.)

I use a Samsung BD1590 Blu-Ray player, and the TV and Blu-Ray player are nicely integrated. Turn on the BD player and it automatically turns on the TV and switches input to the proper HDMI input on the TV. It also optimizes the link for best output. Both TV and BD player controllers are consistent in layout and the one from the BD player controls key TV functions like volume, source, channel. Neither controller is a universal controller and as such, you must use the one provided with your cable box to change channels for regular TV viewing.

Overall, I am quite pleased with my choice of this TV.
