Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Combining big-screen viewing, sleek looks, and high performance, Samsung's 32-inch LN-R328W LCD television lets you enjoy not only regular TV, but full HD images from any high- or enhanced-definition source. Its suite of state-of-the-art connections accommodate a wealth of associated equipment, such as a DTV set-top box, a progressive-scan DVD player, and even your PC. Samsung's Patterned Vertical Alignment (PVA) screen provides high brightness and amazingly rich contrast for lifelike images and realistic colors. A mere 3.9 inches thick without its detachable stand, the TV produces exciting, perfectly flat, images while occupying minimal space in your office, living room, bedroom, or kitchen.

The set boasts a 1,366 x 768 pixel resolution. Its widescreen, 16:9 aspect ratio matches the dimension of most movies and HDTV broadcasts, while its wide, 170-degree viewing angles (horizontal x vertical) ensures everyone in the room will enjoy a great view, even when you've mounted the unit on a wall. A built-in brightness sensor automatically adjusts the TV's luminance for the ambient brightness of a given room.

Onboard 10-bit processing produces 3.2 billion lifelike colors and aids in video signal processing for your analog sources. And with its lightning-quick 12 ms response time, astronomical 3,000:1 contrast ratio, impressive 500 cd/m2 brightness rating, and onboard 3D Y/C digital comb filter (which separates the color signals to minimize dot crawl and blurred edges), you'll see sharp, focused images regardless of their source.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life, space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be more affordable than their flat-panel plasma counterparts, which often (though not always) offer faster response times and higher contrast ratios.

The LN-R328W's DNIe (Samsung Digital Natural Image engine) offers a vision of digital perfection in natural, crystal-clear images that reveal even the most minute detail. The process involves 4 key enhancements: contrast and brightness (for deep, rich blacks and natural whites), motion (which optimizes fast-moving images to produce natural-looking motion, reducing video noise or blurring), color (for lifelike realism, accurate whites, and skin tones with natural hues), and detail (DNIe analyzes video signals to ensure sharp detail, clear image separation, and natural edge transitions).

Samsung's patented My Color Control technology lets you control specific colors without affecting the whole screen. Samsung provides 6-color control selections: white, red, pink, yellow, green, and blue. It's your picture--you decide how it looks. Samsung's PVA screen permits brighter whites than standard TFT LCDs, as well as deeper blacks and every shade in between.

The LN-R328W makes flexibility a top priority, giving you several preset picture and sound modes (and custom settings for each). The TV also permits color temperature adjustment for warm, cool, or neutral tones, along with 4 onscreen languages to choose from (English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese). Choose one of several preset sound modes (standard, music, movie, speech, and custom) for broadcast through the set's built-in speakers (10-watts-per-channel x 2).

Connections include 2 component-video inputs (480i/480p/720p/1080i), a direct-digital HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), a PC input (15-pin D-Sub with minijack analog audio), 2 composite-video inputs, 1 S-video input, 1 RF input, 5 attendant sets of stereo (left/right) RCA audio inputs, and 1 stereo RCA audio output. The set's Anynet (RS-232C) control option simplifies use with other Samsung audio/video components.

Other features include single-tuner picture-in-picture (view 1 TV channel and 1 input source simultaneously), a sleep timer, V-Chip parental control, closed captioning, and an auto volume leveler to minimize jarring differences in loudness between, say, TV programs and their commercials.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Best bang for your buck!! Samsung!!! .......2007-03-21

I purchased this television used for $650 from a local seller because I purchased a PS3 a few months ago and I have to tell you that I am addicted to this beautiful television.

I have my computer, PS3, and HD cable box connected to this 32" screen, but I could not be happier. While it is a tad too big for a monitor, the resolution is amazingly clear, especially watching Prison Break and 24 in HD =)

I did not want to pick up an American brand because I've usually had bad experiences, and I am pleased with Samsung. While I am not able to afford top-notch brands like Sony, Samsung is much affordable and offers great quality for the money.

I would recommend this to anyone without hesitation. The only drawback is having all the inputs in the back. I wish they could have engineered it to include HDMI or cable inputs on the side.

3 out of 5 stars Bought an AOC instead....love it!.......2007-03-07

Not one problem with my AOC monitor. Loooove it! I cannot rate this without buying it, so the rating is not accurate. But I did look at it. Decided on the AOC.

5 out of 5 stars Greaaaaaaaaat.......2006-12-07

I was sold on this lcd due mainly to the unbelievable 3000-1 contrast ratio surpassing anything I could find in this price range. I am thrilled with the picture quality particularly in H\D, but I have found most regular programming to be near H\D quality...Maybe it's my particular cable system. The only drawback for me was that there were not enough component inputs for my needs, but I solved this by purchasing a component switch box at short money which added 4 inputs. I researched extensively before this purchase and by my standards this is the best out there. A. Lee Enz aka George Burgess

4 out of 5 stars Very Nice TV.......2006-09-23

I bought this TV way back in Dec 05 and 9 months on it still working great.When I first got the TV out of the box the picture wasnt very good,but after playing around the picture control for a while I finaly got the TV looking great(Well great for me any way) HD of course looks the best on this TV and yeah DVD's look great too.Right now I have a Blu-Ray player and a HD DVD player hooked to it and the picture is awsome,cant wait to check out Superman Returns in High Def!Make sure if you get a Blu-Ray player or a HD DVD player to set the player to 1080i for best picture.My only gripe with the TV as I do have one dead pixel on the screen,but you have to be looking for it to see it.Well anyway this is a very nice TV and I give it 2 thumbs up.

4 out of 5 stars Would be 4.5 if allowed.......2006-07-20

I just recently purchased a refurbished Samsung LN-R328W. As of one week in with the TV I am completely satisfied. Picture with digital cable is quite good, but no one buys this model for standard picture. This TV really comes into its own with its HD picture. I was hesitant to buy a refurbished model, but for the amount of money I spend I would have only been able to get a Polaroid or Westinghouse 27-inch. The Samsung is far better than both of these brands, but lacks a build in HD tuner.
Here is the way I see it.
Pros: Remarkable HD picture, perfect size for my living room (12x25), excellent DVD(PS2) picture with component cables, Samsung reliability, and various picture settings to adjust for whatever you want to watch.
Cons: The speakers are very soft and not very loud. They produce good quality sound, but lack the volume and depth to match the picture quality, PIP requires two seperate inputs (shouldn't be a promblem though with a digital cable box, which comes with built in PIP), lackluster picture with analog signals. Finally, this TV has become my addiction, I can't get enough of its HD picture, "I needs it, I wants it".

I would highly recommend this model for anyone searching for their first LCD HDTV. I did two months of research and you aren't going to find much better than this for the price. More recent Samsung models come with 2 HDMI inputs, but I don't use my TV for computing. Enjoy!
