Introduction
The Samsung LN32C350 ($499 MSRP) is an entry-level TV low on frills. But Samsung has impressed us year after year with building quality sets, even down to its lowliest series. They don’t get much lower than the C350 series, and we remain impressed.
Editorial Note: This is a review of the Samsung LN32C350. Test results are for this model, but should indicate the general performance of other sizes in the LNxxC350 series. The LNxxC350 series includes the following models: LN22C350 and LN32C350. Read here for more details on series differences.

Samsung UN32D5500 LED LCD HDTV Review
The D5500 has a rather high MSRP of $699, considering it’s only a 32-inch TV. There are some “premiums upgrades,” a term we use with some dubiousness, knowing that these features can be far less valuable than they appear. Nevertheless, at its core this is a good television. If you can find it a significantly reduced price it would make a great addition to a home theater. Read More...
