Comment on Samsung UN32F5000 32-Inch 1080p 60Hz Slim LED HDTV by RJ.
Great general TV and PC monitor!! + How to fix blurriness as a PC monitor,
*Pros:
– Plays at a full 1080p which looks quite clean and crisp for whatever you’re using it for (not the best, of course, but nonetheless great IMO).
– The frame itself looks sleek and elegant; no bulk whatsoever.
– It’s very lightweight, around 6 pounds or so, perfect for moving it from place to place (as a college student, this is great for moving it to and from my house and dorm).
– I don’t use the speakers that often, but it sounds pretty decent from my few experiences with it (although I am only about 5 feet away from it at most).
*Cons:
– The TV is aesthetically pleasing, in terms of the frame and picture, it feels somewhat cheap. The stand in particular is, I believe, pure plastic and seems very unstable sometimes. Not a deal breaker, but something I feel I need to point out.
– The preset settings are somewhat dark and displeasing, IMO, so you might want to tweak the settings a bit.
Now from a PC gaming standpoint, this is absolutely amazing!! As I said before, it looks great when playing any game, i.e Crysis 3, BF3, Fallout, etc. There is no lag or delayed reaction time on screen at all!
One thing I would like to mention is setting-up this TV as a PC monitor. IF you are doing this PLEASE READ THIS TO PREVENT ANY FUTURE FRUSTRATION. You will notice that the screen will look VERY blurry when you first connect your PC to the TV ( In my experience, this was through HDMI). There is a reason for this, which I won’t go through in detail, but to fix this all you need to do is this:
1.) Hit menu
2.) Go to Source List
3.) Hit right twice
4.) Find the video connection you are using (Mine was HDMI, again)
5.) Hit Tools
6.) Hit name, then name it “PC”
7.) Boom, done. Now you have an amazing PC Monitor!
Anyways, overall this TV is versatile and looks stunning for its class. Definite recommendation to anyone looking for a small TV of monitor!
