Summary
With its sleek shape and thin, piano-black frame, Samsung's LN-T3253H enhances your d�cor even when it's off. Turn it on, and this 32" LCD TV comes to life with brilliant colors and intense blacks, rendered in an 8000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Moving images flow naturally, thanks to the fast 8ms response time. SRS TruSurround XT audio, emanating from hidden bottom speakers, fills the room with clear, nuanced, virtual surround 3-D sound. Enjoy the versatility of a wide range of A/V inputs, including 3 HDMI ports, USB 2.0, and PC inputs that allow connectivity to many of your digital devices. And to control it all, the handy HMDI-CEC feature lets you control all your CEC-enabled peripherals using just one remote.
