Beautiful picture. Attractive and sturdy.
This is "only" 720p (although it WILL accept a 1080P signal just fine) and not "120 Hz" but here are a few things to think about.
In 32", the pixel density is higher than a 52" at 1080p. Unless you use it as a computer monitor or sit very close, your eyes just can't pick up the additional detail. "120 Hz" is a buzz word and it is true that faster is better in LCDs but you need to look deeper. A low quality panel that is "120 Hz" will not be satisfactory. On the other hand, a high quality 60 Hz panel will be more than sufficient. Not to say there are not high quality 120z panels but the cost will obviously be significantly more.
In my opinion, this is a very high quality panel and spending more is a waste for the vast majority of people. I paired this with the Panasonic BD60 and the results are phenomenal. Up-scaled DVDs look gorgeous and I really don't think that you could tell the difference between Blu-ray from across the room (again, pixel density). Viewing angle is better than I expected, contrast is great, blacks are so black that you almost can't tell the difference in a dark room between the black next to the frame and the frame itself. Screen is slightly matted so reflections are manageable. Verdict is still out on the sound, these speakers are better than I was expecting but have not had it long enough to be sure if they can stand on their own in all cases (loud movie action).
It seems like there is a feature slope in televisions that it is hard to know where to buy in at. I have to admit that even after ordering this unit, I was unsure if I should have forked out a little more. After experiencing this, however, I have absolutely no regrets. I think that in a 32" it should be easy if you are able to separate yourself from the buzzword hype. Why pay for pixel density your eye literally cannot see? Even worse, why buy a "faster" panel that is poorer quality?

I purchased my LN32B460 model in July 2009. Everything was working fine , good picture as many reviews stated. I have no complaints about the set when it is working. This morning the power blink off for about 30 seconds and then came back on. Everything in the house came back on. Tried to turn TV on about and hour later and discovered that I had no power to the TV. Checked out receptacles and everything was fine. Called Samsung and was told that I would have to ship the TV to their service center. I've had the set for five month and no longer have the original box. I have no way to pack this thing up and ship to them. What a hassel. I offered to pay for the service call and they were still no help. I am so frusrtated with Samsung I could scream. This is the second Samsung I have purchased this year. I bought a 52" back in February and had to have the motherboard replaced in that unit. So, just wanted to say, "Buyer Beware",. These sets are great when they are wotking. From my experience, I am convinced that you will have a problem at some point in time. So save your original shipping carton because you will need it later. Don't expect much help from the Samsung service dept. They are pathetic. Samsung has lost a customer for life. There are many other quality brands out there to chose from. I would recomend that you check out the service deptartments before making your choice on a set.

I originally purchased a Sony KDL-325000 which I returned due to my dissatisfaction with its handling of SD signals, and the poor whites which I never could adjust to look accurate. This Samsung looks much better displaying standard definition broadcasts and, with its greater contrast ratio, has much better shadow detail than the Sony. The Samsung's whites are far superior and it even has deeper blacks, typically a Sony strong suit.
Unfortunately there are no free lunches. Another reviewer mentioned, and I agree, this tv has a problem displaying reds. After spending literally hours adjusting the picture controls using the AVIA test dvd, I still wasn't able to obtain accurate color and hue using the blue tinted filter. Subjectively the Samsung's colors look excellent, except that bright reds can sometimes appear as more of a darker, maroon color. Anyway, the effect is relatively mild and not nearly as distracting as the Sony's grayish whites.
Overall, I am quite pleased with the Samsung and plan to keep it. Just make sure if you purchase one of these sets to turn down the back light, which even in the "standard" and "movie" modes is much too high. I obtained the best picture with the backlight turned down to "3". Avoid the "dynamic" setting if you have any pretension at all of obtaining an accurate picture.

Just got this -- for FREE from Samsung. Let me explain. One year ago I bought the 330 series version of TV. I loved the picture and feaures, but it had a recurring sound problem that could not be fixed. Twice I put in a repair tag for the sound going garbbled, and twice Samsung dispatched a repair service (all the way from RI to MA)within a few days. They changed the mother board, among other repair attempts, but nothing worked for long. With my third repair ticket, without me asking, a Samsung rep phoned me the next day and offered a free replacement. (This was after a different rep had offered to extend the warranty for an additional six months, or until it was fixed.) A week later it was delivered to my door. And to my surprise, they gave me this new 460 series instead of the lower 300 model. Sure, it was a pain that my first TV was a lemon. But these are machines. There is NO manufaturer that produces flawless electronics always and forever. That's life. Nice to know that if it happens to your Samsung, you can expect exceptional customer service. There are reviews here saying Samsung customer service "sucks." That was certainly not my experience; they were always courteous, helpful, professional, and responsive. Oh, and this 460 is WONDERFUL, and noticably better than my 300 series.
