Amazon.com Product Description
Offering an unparalleled sleek design and one of the best 720p LCD panels available, Samsung's 2007 model LNT3253H 32-inch flat-panel LCD HDTV is an updated successor the super popular 2006 model LNS3251D. Compared to the previous year's model this one offers an updated cosmetic design, a better contrast ratio at 8000:1, hidden speakers, side A/V inputs, and 2 HDMI connections. The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass through hidden side speakers. TruSurround XT audio adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience. - Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
- TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
- The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
Connections: - HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) 3
- R/F in 1

Samsung LN-T3253H - Very Good LCD TV June 13, 2010
KeriJane (Chicago IL USA)
After living with this TV for over two years, it's still an agreeable experience. The picture remains sharp, clear and correctly colored.
Mine had the annoying hissing / whining / squeal noise when it was new. After the Power Supply board was replaced it's been great.
The set turns on quickly, has a very good picture for a 720 resolution TV, a great remote and automatically finds and switches to Anynet/CEC compatible DVD / BluRay players.
The sound is decent for an LCD TV. It's weak on Bass which is most noticeable when watching movies.
Recently, I went shopping for a larger TV. I was shocked to find that now, in 2010 the LN-T3253 from 2007 still has a better picture than many new TV sets particularly when viewing fast moving scenes or SD content. The only new TV sets that equalled or surpassed its picture cost as much or more than this one did.
That said, compared to a 1080 resolution TV the picture is grainy and BlueRay offers no noticeable improvement over DVD.
If you come across one of these in used condition, it's probably worth buying so long as it has had the squeal/hiss problem corrected.
Enjoy,
Keri
 Good when it works..... March 12, 2010
Nerdhead (San Francisco, CA)
I purchased this in December 2007, and it came with a standard one year warranty. After 17 months, the picture died. The set would still turn on and I could hear the audio, but no picture whatsoever. I got it fixed at a cost of $294 (new motherboard needed). Fortunately, VISA paid for the repair, under their free one-year extended warranty provision (check with your credit card issuer to see if it's a feature of your particular issuer).
This TV will display a great picture with HD content, but for whatever reason, the video from my 480i/p DVD player (a Sony) looked terrible. The sound is merely ok. The design and finish is outstanding; this TV looks great just sitting there. I'm hoping I can get many more years out of it without any more repair issues, but it's discouraging to see that so many owners have had issues with this set.
COMPUTER DISPLAY VIA ANALOG CABLE... only 1024 x 768 otherwise bands appear at the "native" resolution February 25, 2010
Bdubslawman (Wisconsin United States)
Hooking this up for someone as a montior either primary or a secondary clone. I read the manual for the TV and it lists the 1360 x 768 as the "Native PC resolution (and the graphics card is fully capable of displaying that resolution) and detects the TV. However when I switch from 1024 x 768 (which fills the Samsung 32in TV screen to 1360 x 768 I get the black bars on the left & right.
NO PROBLEM I THOUGHT> I'll just adjust the screen dimensions (but in PC mode they are locked. So WTH? Why print something as the native resolution for it and have it squished up, Also why lock the picture size option in PC mode?
HOPE SOME ONE CHECKS BACK & can tell me what the deal-ee-o is?
Do i just have to live with 1024 x 768 (while not the worst... i'd like to compare to a full viewing of the 1360 x 768 if I could.
Thank you.
 Unless you're legally deaf, don't buy this tv. December 29, 2009
S. Ruchalski (Lancaster, NY USA)
I bought this TV a while ago (as in over a year) and I am very embarrassed to admit it's taken me this long to look up the problem. While it's a wonderful tv if you can't hear the whistling coming from the it (which is why I gave this tv two stars instead of one), the whistling is enough to make me say it was DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE PURCHASE.
It's fantastic to watch for the first 20 minutes to a half hour, but then the high-pitched whistling becomes unbearable until you shut the tv off. You can hear it from other rooms too, in my house anyway, so walking away won't help either.
I'm grateful to others who have posted their problem on here because I will be calling Samsung as soon as I post this review to *hopefully* get it repaired free of charge because of the defect.
 Buyer BEWARE November 26, 2009
M. Matthews (Los Angeles CA USA)
This television was wonderful (great picture, great black color, nice features) for 2.5 years and then it just QUIT (died) without any warning. I called Samsung toll free to try to diagnose and they said there was nothing that could be done. So, at the time of purchase this t.v. cost me $1,000 and it lasted for 2.5 years. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT. Beware of this model - walk away from it and buy something else. I will probably never buy Samsung again because there is no way I could trust the brand after this. (Coincidentally I also recently bought a Samsung external DVD drive for my laptop and that too did not work - fortunately I was able to return that and get my money back).
