What the heck? So the 40" LED TV is cheaper than the 32"?

Weird-must just be the number made. I'd never seen the 32" one. In retrospect I'm glad I got 40", but at the time I was thinking I'd probably go with 32 had it been available. (Dang...when I first got my 32 it seemed HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE, and now my 40" just looks 'okay', LOL)

To Wastedyrs: I suggest the older model is more-expensive simply because it IS older....each new generation of chips, digital TVs, etc, are significantly cheaper than prior ones. No exceptions I know of, unless you account for higher functionality or features.

Its much less of a prob with an LED or LCD. Go see any LED tv in a store and see the diff. Think of tv as a mirror...what ever light is in line with your viewing position will reflect. Light behind you when looking at tv is never best. Above or way off to the sides is best for viewing.this tv is quite nice I'd buy it again.

Sheila: At $278, that wasn't an issue for me. At that price, it's almost a throw away. I'd ask Google. BTW, stay away from extended warrenties. They are not worth the price. If a TV has something wrong with it, you'll know in short order.

It's because it's your main tv and it being ran on a constant basis. This is also how they make their money, on bulbs. I suggest that you buy 2 at a time at the lowest price. I think I've seen the lowest at 45-50 bucks. Oh and keep the original housing cause sometimes when you buy them like that, it doesn't fit the tv. Just a heads up!!

I have the 40 inch and the 48 inch and both have a great picture and with Smart TV features a lot of options to watch streaming programs. Great prices as well.

I own it and it is mostly fine. After a move a few years ago, a yellow line runs down the middle that is only really noticeable on blue backgrounds. It runs hot and is an energy hog (200w) compared to current LCD tvs. Also the contrast and resolution is not as sharp as current tvs even at 720p. The remote only works if you point it at the lower right corner of the TV, where the sensor is. 40" tvs are $300 new (with better specs), so I hope you get a good deal.

TeeVoo thanks for the explanation. I just picked up the a950 at best buy for $3600 and no interest for 3 years. My Best Buy was even giving premium home delivery and setup for free on it as well. I compared the two tvs. There is just something about the a950's picture that makes you go "wow." The only wow factor I received from the new LEDs was how thin they were. At the end of the day, I watch what's on the screen and not how thin the actual tv set is so I went with the a950.

Just for clarity sake, Techno Newbie quotes CNET for his Panasonic being highly rated but then calls Samsung "low line". Just to point out that CNET also named Samsung 32A450 as the best 32 inch LCD TV. If you're going to use a source to back up your opinion, don't neglect the same source when it doesn't agree with you.

I was wondering the same thing. Im gonna call sammy to find out. It seems like such a huge discrepancy to be in this many places. There is more than a small difference between 50,000:1 and 15:000:1. If you find out please let me know ***EDIT*** After calling Sammy's CS they informed me that it was infact a 15,000:1 ratio'd tv. Not bad, but nowhere near the 50,000:1 that has been advertised all over the net. Thanks **EDIT #2** This TV is great. I love it. I would go into detail about the performance and quality, but its one of those things that you really need to see in a display next to a lesser tv. I have this 32 incher right next to a Sharp Aquos 32gp1u and it out shines in almost every way except for the ease of adjusting the picture. Apart from the minor menu quibble this tv is as close to perfect as you are going to find in a 32 inch model. Hands down and without a doubt worth the money if you want a quality 32 flat panel tv with lots of inputs.

To all the people bad mouthing this 47" toshiba 1080p lcd tv: IT'S YOUR LOSS!I bought this tv for the $1199 & so far-no regret. I had read all the reviews & saw that most of the negatives were from people who had ordered previously through a 3rd party vendor & received a 42" instead of a 47". Also some complained about a 'green shift or push'--I have not seen it. Maybe this sale batch of tv's were improved. There are so many ways to adjust the color, but it looked good right out of the box so I only made minor adjustments. Glad I got it & the 52" Toshiba when they were on sale-'cause of the savings & the good quality.

I was going to probably place my order tonight for this TV and now I see they jacked up the price 400 bucks. So much for that. Why does Amazon mess with the price so much? Rather annoying.

hi, i have a similar size room, tried 26, 32 , and 37 inch. 32 is best. one thing not talked about often is, there's also a minimum viewing distance for these tvs, esp. 720p. any closer, you see the pixels, any noise in the image, etc. with a hq tv like samsung, sony, sharp, my experiments indicate for a 32" around 5 feet is about as close as i'd want to go. anything else, i'd have to go to 1080p (the sharp 32" aquos 1080p model is great up to 3 feet, but more $$). btw, right now you can pick up a samsung LN-T3242H at circuit city for $720 if you're a AAA member (you need to go to www.aaa.com/circuitcity to get a coupon code). this model is a level down from the 3253H but i picked one up yesterday and so far it seems pretty good to me. you can read about both models on amazon. good luck.

Either one will do the job.....I got the 32 just because my tv is a 32 ..... I really like this PHillips sound bar... Ya there are fan her ones but I just wanted the theater. Sound and it works well

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.

go to www.displaywars.com and plug in 26 versus 32 display - it will show an overlay in color and dimensions so you can visualize the difference. If budget is a consideration then consider as an alternative the panasonic viera 26x1 being price promoted as an amazon special

Although I share your view, Sony's 2012 models didn't make any 32 inch HDVTVs that were 1080! It seems as if they were doing all they could to push people into buying larger sets.
