Score 9.0/10

Good points:: Sleek, swivels and not too heavy... a bonus also that the base plate isn't huge! Looks great, clear picture. Very popular model!
Bad points:: Sound although good isn't amazing. Easily solved with surround sound. The on and tone can be a little irritating, it's quite loud and you can't stop it making the noise when it turn off and on.

Manufacturer's Description

The Samsung LE32b530 brings 1080p to HDTV televisions, at a bargain price.

Featuring full 1080p HD Ready technology, the LE32b530 is more than ready for the new generation of High Definition sources such as Blu-ray. The full 1920 × 1080 resolution lets you see more detail than ever before and creates a vivid sense of realism. Also standard is Samsung’s Wide Colour Enhancer 2 engine. This unique Samsung system offers far more natural and convincing colours by strengthening the red, green and blues. A “high contrast ratio” also gives the LE32b530 excellent depth of image with subtle shading.

Although we’d always recommend a separate home cinema system, the Samsung’s built-in SRS Tru-Surround HD system gives a useful boost to audio performance. With indirect firing technology the, hidden, speakers create a spacious sound that’s complemented by the SRS Tru-Surround HD system.

Twin rear-mounted HDMI (and one side-mounted) sockets allow for the connection of 3 High Definition sources, such as an HD-TV box, HD camcorder and Blu-ray. In addition to this, the LE32b530 boasts SCART and component connections for your older sources. Furthermore, the PC input makes this attractive TV the perfect complement to your home computer – especially when used in conjunction with the Samsung’s special Game Mode. Topping off the wide range of sockets are both analogue phono and digital optical sound outputs – ideal for connecting this Samsung 32 inch 1080p LCD TV to your hi-fi or home cinema for a useful upgrade in sound quality.

Completing this stunning 1080p Samsung is a stylish case finished in the same Crystal Rose high gloss look as their other, more expensive models. For added convenience the stand also swivels for the best viewing angle.

As 32 inch 1080p HD Ready LCD TVs go, the Samsung LE32b530 is now the best bargain of the lot. Be quick!
