What reviewers say

HDTVTest and Expert Reviews praised the 32-inch model's picture, motion controls and connectivity, but wanted lower gaming lag. HDTVTest found excellent calibrated colour and deep blacks; Expert Reviews liked its speakers. Their viewing-angle judgements differed: HDTVTest noted VA-panel limits, while Expert Reviews was happy watching from wide angles.

Picture processing
Samsung lists Micro Dimming Pro, Wide Colour Enhancer Plus and Auto Depth Enhancer. HDTVTest found no advanced backlight dimming on its 32-inch model; Micro Dimming Pro is picture processing rather than a published local-dimming zone count.
Motion handling
Samsung's 800 Picture Quality Index is not native Hz. HDTVTest measured 120 Hz on its 32-inch sample, supporting that configuration's refresh figure; native rates for the other sizes are unpublished in the checked maker tables.

Speaker detail
