Samsung LN32B360 I was going to write a long review of this TV, but I think a few points speak for themselves:
-The stand was easy to assemble, and the TV is so light (yet durable) that it was a snap to install by myself. It rotates easily and smoothly, and diffuses light off the screen (so you don’t have to watch movies in total darkness for fear of glare on the screen).
-From the first time starting up, the TV prompts you to pick out a few settings of your choosing. We have (limited basic) cable, so I went into the menus afterward and had the TV scan through all the available channels. Amazingly, this TV picks up more channels (including a bunch of digital channels) than another HDTV (a 4-year-old plasma) that we have in a separate room. The broadcast channels are fuzzy of course, but the HD channels look fantastic! Of course, I had to modify the picture and audio settings to really make things look and sound good, but once they were set, I knew this TV was worth it. It only took around a half hour of tinkering and I think I’m done for good (as opposed to the plasma, which still has issues). The settings are also independent for each source, so you can watch movies and play games knowing they look their best. As for sound, the speakers are decent, especially with the SRS turned on, but the bass output is limited, and even a 2.1 surround setup will sound much richer.
-I have an HD DVD player hooked up via one of the HDMI ports, and have sampled a few discs in high-definition, but what really surprises me is how good regular DVDs look. True, they’re “upconverted” by the player, but it’s still a wonder how they can look so good. The latest one I watched was the Pixar movie Up, and it looked PERFECT…it was crystal clear, with vivid colors and a real sense of depth and scale. The Blu-Ray version may have a higher resolution, but I was more than happy with what I saw (and this is coming from someone who just bought a PS3).
-EDIT: The only nagging issue I have with the TV is with “ghosting,” especially in dark scenes. This mainly seems to happen with HD channels and certain HD movies. For instance, I watched the HD DVD of Blade Runner, and at certain times (mainly during the chases through the dark city streets), there was a faint “trail” as the characters would turn their heads or run across the screen. I’m hoping this won’t affect gaming on the PS3, but it is something to consider.
Imagine all the money you could save using the generator? If you play on the network and spend lots of your money than that will change after reading this article. Soon the Playstation will be adding a sort of premium package for a monthly fee called playstation plus. This is set to come out very soon if not already. Many gamers are very mad about the service and charging a monthly fee of $15 for some extra features and items on the playstation network. Just like with the Xbox and Xbox live. Users need to pay a monthly fee to use the extra features on the network.
