Connectivity Summary
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.
• Three HDMIs.
• Some ports have two different functions, which seems like a good idea until you have to start swapping one cable type out for another.
• No fancy media ports.
• Decent port placement.
Input Ports (7.0)
The LN32B460 doesn't have the most extensive list of inputs. It has a VGA port, two component video inputs, three HDMIs, 4 analog audios, a 3.5mm audio in, and an RF input. It also technically has two composite video inputs and a DVI input.

Output Ports (2.0)
The LN32B460 has two sets of output ports: an analog audio output and a digital audio output.
Other Connections (0.0)
The LN32B460 doesn't have any other ports, such as a LAN or S-Video port.
Media (0.0)
There aren't any SD card slots or USB ports on this TV.
Placement (7.5)
The LN32B460 had decent port placement. They're grouped in a cluster on the left side of the TV (if you're facing its front). A few ports run down the side and the rest are on the back. The ports are indented slightly further in that we'd like, but the swiveling stand will help you reach them.

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...
