Introduction
The Samsung UN32C4000 is a nice little entry-level LED HDTV. The TV performed well on most of our tests, features a USB port for media playback, and will look pretty classy on your wall or entertainment set-up. You’ll definitely pay a bit extra for the quality, though as the UN32C4000’s price point of $699.99 is far higher than the average entry-level 32-inch set.
Editorial Note: This is a review of the Samsung UN32C4000. Test results are for this model, but should indicate the general performance of other sizes in the series. The series includes the following models: LT-32P679 and TH-46PZ80U. 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...
