The 2 TVs certainly look almost identical, and the product dimensions are exactly the same. However, the response time, contrast and energy consumption data is different. Perhaps both Sansui and Seiki are marketing tvs made by the same contract manufacturer, and the 2 sets are slightly different iterations of a particular model.

We really love this TV the more we use and become aquainted with it. It would seem that this unit in my opinion is flawed. I would certainly check with LG on this and perhaps look into a return. Good luck. kc

Thanks drhey19, this is very helpful. I am thinking of buying a second unit and I thought they booth looked like the same thing. (I was worried because the DTVPal disappeared from the market for a long time.)

Oh, nevermind everyone. I looked around and found this on the website: "Currently Unavailable: This item is currently not available for ordering, and we don't know when or if this item will be in stock again." Well, then. Crap shoot it is. I'll wait it out and cross my fingers or look for another TV.

Jonathan,Which model did you end up going with? I was super interested in this TV, but it apparently doesn't support 1080i, which is no good for my Xbox 360. Also, does anyone know what the difference is between the older model (32HL67) and this one (32HL67U, "U" indicating a newer iteration)?

Deb,, I've had our Seiki TV now for a little over a year now and so far so good. Of course it doesn't have all the bells and whistles like a Samsung TV but then again, a 40" Samsung is like $300 more than what I paid. As I said into review, I got a great deal on a Black Friday apecial at Brandsmart that was muck lower than any deals I've seen on Amazon. It even has 3 HDMI connections that is more than some of the more expensive models. Hope that answeed your question.

It looks as good as a non-HDTV. From the few times I've looked at SD tv though, it doesn't utilize widescreen (It's still 4:3 rather than 16:9). So that's something you might want to think about.

I checked my Sansui TV and sure enough the red light is on when the TV is off and turns green when turned on. My guess would be that you might need new batteries in your remote control. Other than that I would guess the TV is broken somewhere, thy the new batteries first.

Did you have a terrible experience with Samsung 30 years ago? For the past 10 years, I have owned Samsung TVs (4) in three different countries and I haven't found a reason to make a switch. (I've also owned a Shard and Toshibha in the interim). You might have received a bad unit, am not sure I would generalize the problem to the entire brand.

Neither am I. I did the same, researching different TVs and couldn't decide. I didn't want something with all the bells and whistles and finally decided on this one, mostly for the price. I think between the two, you get the same quality, just different brands. Hope this helps.

it has been too long for me since I bought this television. you might contact Samsung customer service with the model number and they can assist you.

As for as I know this TV does not have its own built-in picture-in-picture (I've owned said TV for 2 months).For reference here is the user's manual for this TV:http://support.toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?contentId=3596913

I swear that I had a discussion about this (some thread somewhere else) ... either way, my problems have been fixed by switching to another TV (Hannspree 42") i'll try to find the thread and post it here

I actually found this on another forum post and it makes me feel much better that at least samsung is recognizing the problem to some extent. I really hope this means they do have a fix for it otherwise why would they post pictures of the problem and say your TV needs service right?http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view.jsp?isARS=Y&SITE;_ID=1&AT;_ID=137885&ARS;_ID=8957980Just waiting to hear from someone that their TV was actually fixed. Thanks again,

I called Toshiba about this and was told it's just a market difference. The TVs are the same, the models just vary in each market. I guess online retailers just mix up the models.

Erratic behavior of this receiver is well known. Unfortunately, the unit may have one of the the known issues with the units produced in the "problem" production run. There is a factory recall program of this receiver from Onkyo. Check the following URL for your unit being covered: http://www.onkyousa.com/Support/service_info.php# My unit had several of these issues including intermittent powering off, no sound, frozen/locked, firmware update failure, the list goes on. Bottom line, check the website with your unit serial number and if covered, Onkyo will send you a postage paid box with packing instructions for your unit. If not covered, some troubleshooting suggestions are in the rear of the user manual (if you haven't tried swapping the TV back) . Most likely the unit will require some sort of repair.
