There's a great offer in a shop nearby for an LCD-tv, a Samsung LE32A436 for 449 Euro's and I was wondering if anyone knows something about them or has 1.

My friend has that and I have the older model 37", nothing bad to say about it :) And that price is really good!

Edit: That seems to be "HD-ready" only, I would go for full HD it that is a long term investment. but else a top tv.

I got the big brother Samsung LE40A536 in my bedroom, and that series is really good for the price..
The only difference on the one your looking at and mine, is the size and resolution, specs wise they arent that far off, and delivers a nice picture

The only thing i have noticed is that it is not full HD (1080p), so if you wanted to get the full advantage of Bluray, you wont get the full benefit with this one as it is 768P at best. however, i'm not sure what kind of price you will need to pay for a full HD TV, so not sure if that is good value or not

There is a little difference in HD-ready and Full HD if I'm right.
FULL HD
and HD-Ready

I believe what that'll mean is that it'll do 720P (HD), and 1080i (interlaced HD), but not 1080P (Full HD). My 32" Samsung does the same, and I have to admit I leave it on 720P when using the XBox 360, because that is what the panel was designed to do and 1080i thus actually looks worse. I've not seen a 32" 1080P panel to compare it with (especially give that I believe the 360 was designed for 720P in the first place and then soft-modded to 1080P, so it probably won't show as much of a diffrence as, say, a PS3 showing a Blu-Ray movie which was designed for 1080P from the ground up) but i'm not convinced the difference will be that noticeable for the price difference on a 32" panel. 37" or up i'd go with a 1080P one though.

Of course that is all just my opinion.

Just looked on Samsungs website under that model number, to me this does not have full HD and the add is misleading with 'enhancer', as you mention yourself, the resolution is 1,366x768, and on their website it states 'HD ready' which retailers don't tend to state if it's full HD.

I have a 720P 37" Dell screen which i have a DVD attached to giving 1080i via a HDMI, my parents have a Full HD 24p with bluray attached, and trust me, theres a world of difference (although yes, bluray will give a better picture over a upscaled DVD)
 
The rest of the spec (contrast, cd/m etc) sounds decent enough :)

Well to explain some of that stuff :)
AFAIK the Wide Color enhancer 2 tech, is more widely known as dynamic contrast, which in effect, just varies the brightness of the background panel so the panel can show more tones :)


1080 24P RealMovie Picture - enhancer:
Well the TV isnt a native 1080P, only 720P, but to i guess sell better, the tv has the ability to Upscale the picture to a 1080i standard, which basicly means, that the picture gets a little bit screwed up..

Its  good TV, no doubt, if you buy it, i suggest the same as Carr0t, stick with 720P on it, it looks much better..

Thats 100e more, but if thats going to be your long term tv, I would say go for it.
But if you are thinking to buy a projector, a new tv along with some blue-ray stuff in few years, Full HD is really nice then. OR you can always stick the 32" to bedroom or as a PC display :)

Edit: Things with tv is.... you can always find a better one! I managed to go back and forth between different models for few months before I bough a one.

I know but if it's worth the extra 100 Euro...This 1 should have full HD, that's what the shop suggest anyway.
 
I currently have a large TVscreen which I'm going to set up in my bedroom if I buy this.

Thats sounds like a good one, I have noticed the 'HD ready' TV's have been dropping alot in price recently, i think more and more people are becoming more wise to it
 
Get it wall mounted too ;)
