| 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.

We say "technically," because one of the composite video inputs is also the green part of a set of component video inputs and the DVI input pulls double duty as an HDMI input. If you're using all three HDMI ports, then you suddenly don't have 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.
