| Introduction |
| Editorial Note: This is a review of the Samsung LN32B460. Test results are for this model, but should indicate the general performance of other sizes in the LNxxB460 series. The LNxxB460 series also includes the LN22B460 and the LN26B460. Read here for more details on series differences. |
The Samsung LN32B460 is an entry-level 32-inch HDTV. It doesn't have any extra features, such as internet connectivity or media playback options, but it does have great picture quality. The TV runs at 720p, however, meaning its performance won't be quite as good when displaying 1080i or 1080p content.
The LN32B460 has a listed price of $649.99, but savvy shoppers are sure to find it at a discount. |

Deep blacks, bright whites, and a high contrast ratio. |
Screen has some uniformity issues. |

Solid color temperature and good color representation. |
Color gamut was inaccurate. |

No issues with 3:2 pulldown. |
Issues with blurring and artifacting. |

Poor viewing angle. |
| Remote Control |
Fits well in hand. |
Some buttons are placed oddly far away from the neutral position. |

Ports are easily accessible. |
Some ports can accept two different kinds of inputs, which limits the total number of connectivity options. |
| Audio & Menus |

Audio quality isn't great. |

Handles 3:2 pulldown well. |
A native 720p display isn't ideal for HD content. |
