Samsung 32” LN-T3253H

Samsung was so proud of the way that they had built their previous LCD television model that they didn't see much of a point in changing the design of it for the new 2007 LN-T3253H model. The most drastic change that they made was hiding the speakers. The stand that it comes on allows the television to turn around 20 degrees either to the right or to the left.

The LN-T3253H comes with a resolution of 1,366x768 - matching the count of pixels that can be found in most LCD models. The amount of pixels that it offers give viewers the ability to watch HDTV.

There are three different picture modes each pertaining to the different independent outputs. You have the ability to customize each of these modes using the three different picture settings. One of those settings (our favorite) is the Only Movie mode - which gives users the choice of adjusting it to the fullest making it the ideal picture mode to watch with.

One of the newer features that they have added is the backlight control - which works differently with each different output. The controls that control how intense you want the backlight to be determined how light your television will give off. As we said before this feature is something that Samsung has never used before even though many other LCD manufacturers have.

When it comes to the picture quality we give this 32" television an A+. Although the picture quality doesn't always start off great when you first take it out of the box after you adjust the image and tweak it to the way you like you will be impressed with what you see. The only default mode that starts off great is the Only Movie mode.
One of the big problems that most LCD televisions have is with the dark images that appear on the screen. More often than not they are so dark that we are unable to see what is going on. The LN-T3253H model however was very different from most models in the fact that we were able to see things with clarity and with incredible sharpness. When it comes to the grayscale we saw a bit of blue in the shadows - but the fact that you can adjust the grayscale can help to fix this problem.

The only performance that we were not impressed with was when we tested the high definition sources through the video processing. Samsung failed to correctly adjust and de-interlace the 1080i signals that it transmitted - which caused distortion of the resolution of the picture that you are trying to watch. When it came down to the performance of the normal standard definition we were impressed with the smooth picture that it produced and the almost perfect color accuracy that it came out with.

Samsung did a pretty good job with the LN-T3253H except for the fact that it doesn't always work well with HDTV. Unfortunately this is a big reason for people buying any television anymore. The good thing is that this computer ranges only from $740 to $1,100. So for those of you who are just looking for a great flat, LCD TV screen are in luck.
