The Samsung Syncmaster 932 MW is a good television at a very reasonable price.
The Bad Points first - It doesn't have freeview included with the television, which is OK in my current set up, but if you are looking for a television of this size to be wall mounted for a kitchen or bedroom, there may be better choices out there. As this was a gift for me, I couldn't complain, but if it were to be my choice I would pay the extra premium to have the freeview included with the television. Also, the sound quality isn't up to the standard of its competitors. This seems to be a recurring theme in reviews I have read on Samsung televisions. Sound quality is important whatever the size of television, but in my opinion, less so on a smaller set like this. However, it can sometimes be a little tinny, lacking in that quality sound that can be had from Sony or Panasonic.
However, the good points far outweigh the bad points. It is, as mentioned in the title, a very sleek and stylish television. It is finished in black and would, in my opinion, look great in any home. It is also surprisingly slim, and does allow for wall mounting. Furthermore, included in the box is a cable for PC connection, so, like many modern televisions, it can double up as a PC monitor. It also has HDMI output for connecting to your PS3/Blu Ray.
It isn't full HD (1440x900) but it still looks great connected to my PS3 for Blu Ray and gaming. Obviously, a more expensive, larger television would suit Blu Ray better, but all in all it is a good little compromise, particularly as I am very much limited for space. The colours are sharp (colour ratio 1000:1) and there is no blur when gaming that is sometimes associated with the equivalant Plasmas.
The instruction booklet is very easy to follow and use. Moreover, the remote control is well laid out and responsive (unlike Toshiba televisions, whose remote controls drive me crazy).
As a cheaper alternative to the other televisions on the market, it is definitely worth a shot. Personally, I'd fork out the extra couple of quid for the built-in freeview, but this doesn't take away from this television being a great all rounder for watching telly, gaming or using it as a PC monitor. Still recommended, despite its flaws.
Advantages: Great picture, Features and style Disadvantages: Very Few.
...other vendors and i would always rate samsung at the top along with Sony and Panasonic.
With this TV you are truly getting maximum quality for the best price. Superb picture and features paired with a stylish look make this an ideal centre piece in any bedroom or living room. ...

This particular product is satisfactory enough, but there are a few problems with it that stop it being a top class item. Let's start with the good stuff though. First off, it's a brilliant size, great for computer gaming and for watching TV or what have you. The picture is wonderfully clear and the casing itself is very stylish, but let's face it, nearly all LCD screens look about the same these days. Now the bad points. First of all, if you are ... ...hooked up to it, flicking through the source channels to get to the one you want takes ages, and is such a drag. This is really a minor point though. The main problem is the reliability. When the screen's working, it works brilliantly. But the trouble is, it's so prone to malfunctions it's unbelievable. I've had the sound and picture go on innumerable different occasions. Sometimes mine won't pick up the PC picture, or maybe it'll go off centre, ...
