Review of the Samsung LE32B450
by Beth Walton on Feb.09, 2010, under multimedia
One of the newest additions to the Samsung family of LED TV’s is the LE32B450. Samsung has led the way with technological advances in this area and continues to do so with the low priced, high featured flat screen set. Samsung has a history of being in the forefront with technological advances and this model does not disappoint.
This 32 inch LED model is a smartly priced TV that offers many of the features that more expensive models do, at a fraction of the cost. This particular model is predominantly sold in Europe and Asia.
Samsung’s Wide Color Enhancer 2 engine allows for one of the better color schemes in this category. With blues, greens and reds that are exceptional, the Enhancer allows for the blacks, which often bleed into a muddy mess, to be crisp and allows for even shadows to have sharp edges. This is one area that shows how much ahead of the competition the B450 is.
By mounting the HD connections on the side of this set, Samsung has made adding any of your media toys easy to attach. Three HD connections allow Gaming Consoles, DVD players, Satellite connections and even your PC to be simply attached to the Samsung B450. You will see outstanding performance of all your media attachments.
A 10 watt Dolby Digital Plus sound system is standard, and results in strong basses and good sound, yet has produced some criticism, as sounding a little tinny. As with most Hi Def TV’s, attaching a stereo system eliminates this small challenge. With a built in surround sound feature, adding a surround stereo will enhance your viewing and listening pleasure.
Fortunately, set-up is a snap. It’s on screen and interactive. All of your choices will enhance the overall performance of the set. The menu will walk you through the entire process and the set even comes with both an alarm and a sleep function. Set it before you go to bed and you can dose off to your new set and awake to the beautiful picture, every morning.
Weighing less than 26 lbs., the Samsung LE32B450 is very light. It’s also only 3. 5 inches thick, so the placement options are broad. This is the perfect size for your bedroom or family room. Wall mounts are included for a more permanent location. A stand is included with your purchase. It has a sleek black shell that resists scratching, so kid gloves are not necessary.
Although the resolution of 1366 x 768 does not display the same 1080 content of other full HD models, the many other features will easily surpass those of the competition. The sharpness and crispness of this model will still offer you an incredible picture, unless you are sitting on top of the TV. The two settings for viewing are natural and auto. Although not as elaborate as some other sets, each of these choices made proper adjustments to assure excellent viewing, with all types of attachments.
With very low pricing, this set offers many wonderful features and very high quality performance. Owning the Samsung LE32B450 will assure you of many happy years of quality viewing at a price that will not break the bank. So if you are looking for a 34 inch, high quality LED TV, be sure to check out this model.
