QualityAs with many other products from the Samsung line-up, the build quality and reliability are generally good. The television offers exceptional picture quality but like many flat panel televisions, it does not offer optimal sound performance. It is recommended that if you are using this set as part of a home theater set up, that a separate amplifier and speaker system be used as the sound system as the TV sound falls short of expectations. ValueThe Samsung LN-T3242H is priced competitively and boasts many of the same specifications of models priced much higher. The picture performance is also quite good for the resolution of the panel and many features have been added such as PC PIP to make it an attractive alternative to many of its' competitors. ErgonomicsThe glossy black finish to the Samsung LN-T3242H may seem stylish at first but it does have some potential drawbacks. Because LCDs are generally recommended for use in brightly lit rooms, the glossy finish seems to reflect some light. Unfortunately the finish also shows off dust and imperfections quite easily so keeping it clean and using a soft micro fiber cloth for dusting is essential. SummaryThe Samsung LN-T3242H is an excellent value for customers looking at an entry level high definition flat panel. Pros
