The Samsung LN32A450 is a 32-inch LCD HDTV that's available for as little as $600, making it an attractive options as an entry-level HDTV for many. Although it qualifies as a high definition television it has a lower 720p resolution than the highest resolution 1080p televisions that are currently available, not uncommon amongst smaller HDTVs. We did not find that this had a significant impact on the Samsung LN32A450's performance. In fact we were pleasantlly surprised at how well the HDTV performed in many of our tests.
