looking for a smaller tv for the bedroom and this one caught my eye. the only thing that i was wondering if it matters that it's not 120hz?

I dont think they make a 32 inch with 120hz. Also depending on how far you are from the TV you might not even need a 1080p for that size TV. For a 32 inch 1080p you should be no more then 4feet from it.

I'm going to have to agree.

I bought a Samsung LN32A450, and it's pretty much perfect. :P

i've been looking at this exact tv for a while now, waiting for the right time to buy it. it started on amazon for around $930 and is down to 755 now. i might have to pull the trigger soon

I have this television in my bedroom and not being more than eight feet from it at any time I can honestly say it does the job quite well. There are number of HDMI connections, including one or two on the side if you need to put them there. The buttons are on the side as well so it has a very nice glossy finish to it. Sometimes if you're viewing area is really dark you'll see bright scenes reflect off the bottom lip of the panel. I've only see it a few times though.

The remote included is nice and big with a backlight included. I'll admit that the backlight is pretty much a pass or buy with remotes with me from now on.

The only issue I have with the television is I'm always playing with the picture settings. I can't always get the quality I'm searching for, but I pass that off as I'm spoiled with a big plasma in the living room. The blacks aren't anything compared to the plasma and it's noticeable.

And to those who doubt the 1080p makes a difference in a television that size, well, it does. To me at least.

The 32A550 is a solid unit and I don't regret paying almost a grand for it over six months ago.
