Samsung LED 32"

[jsc15]

Hi all

I'm looking at getting a Samsung LED. Unfortunately a 40" is a bit big for the room. However I'm wondering if the benefits of LED would be diminished at 32", and if I would be better going for a (non-LED) 1080p at 32" (or even 37")

Any views? Ta

The benefit of LED is the extremely thin cabinet, that is about all

Which results in terrible sound from the TV, so unless you have seperate speakers to use I would avoid.

Most TVs have rubbish built-in sound anyway and so you should be using separate speakers

I've went and bought the 37" LED Samsung at Comet. £799 seemed decent. Had a bit of a discussion with the sales bod about merits of pricey HDMI's...

Me - "It's all zeroes and ones regardless"
Him - "Cheaper ones lose some zeroes and ones"

Not too bothered about the sound as I put it thru my Sony amp anyway

I have the samsung 32" led in my bedroom, its wall mounted and looks fantastic. ok so you cant tell how thin it is from face on but from all other angles it looks much better than my sony kdl did when it was up there

As for the sound, when I first got it the sound wasnt great, but nor was it terrible. 3 weeks of use and it is much much better, the Sony is in another room now and its every bit as good as that

The only thing that made me pause when buying it was the fact that I could have bought a Panasonic 32" lcd for less, but as its not my main tv style won the day

And as far as im aware, as the led's merely provide backlighting rather than actually producing the picture, the main benefit to the led is the lower energy consumption
