Audio & Menus

Very simple menu system. Audio is mediocre.

The 32LD350’s speakers weren’t bad once surround sound mode is turned on. When it’s off, there’s no depth to the sound at all and when it’s on it sounds like normal stereo. The TV had a really weak, muddy bass response. The TV did have a decent mid-range and high-end response, however.

The 32LD350’s menu system is fairly intuitive. Pressing the menu button will let you chose from one of eight different items. Selecting one will bring up a second screen, where the eight main items run down the left side and the selected menu is expanded to the right.

There’s also a quick menu. This is presented like a rotary dial: left and right rotate the wheel of menu items, and up/down alter its settings. This is technically quicker for changing certain items, but the rotation animation slows the process down a bit.

Menu Main Photo

The 32LD350’s manual really isn’t great. The only thing it does well is pictures, which are very detailed and employed frequently, if they are a bit small. The table of contents is very limited, there isn’t an index (although there is a brief appendix), and the pages aren’t tabbed. The font size is a bit on the small side as well.

The main complaint we had, however, is it really doesn’t answer a lot of questions. The manual is really only good for setting up the TV, not explaining how to use its features. We aren’t entirely sure what features like Eye Care and Edge Enhancer actually do.

    Samsung UN46D6000

    Everyone wants a Smart TV, but how smart is buying the Samsung UN46D6000 for its $1299 MSRP? With its reasonably good performance in many categories and more internet features than you can shake an e-stick at, that question might be hard to answer if it weren't for this review.
