In addition, it also has innovative apps that are made exclusively for the TV along with Signature Services, AllShare, Wide Color Enhancer Plus and Smart Hub but you could also download new ones like Netflix, YouTube and Facebook. This allows you to watch your favorite movies and television broadcasts while chatting with your friends online. All of these are included in a package of around $500.

Display Technology
This is one of the 32-inch LED HDTVs we have reviewed. The picture is something that you would expect for the price you’re paying it knowing there are better alternatives available in the market today. However, the picture quality along with the line of features incorporated into the Samsung UN32EH5300 makes up for the price of under $500. You might be tempted to look for LCD HDTVs but getting the entire package of this model for its price – it seems there is really no need to do so.
The Samsung UN32EH5300
is a web-savvy TV ideal for bedrooms and offices or dens. It has the key performance of larger HDTVs in a more compact 32-inch design. Although a larger 40-inch HDTV is really tempting and enticing, this model can actually give you basic needs depending on what you would actually use it for. It is deemed necessary that you define your needs before you make your purchase. If you actually need something that’s worth watching from 10-feet away then this model may not give you exactly what you require. I have no actual needs of larger HDTV for my bedroom so this model fits just right so it depends on your preferences.

Consumer ratings for Samsung UN32EH5300 are on the average 4.3 out of 5 stars and I couldn’t agree more. This is by far an excellent rating to get by a compact 32-inch HDTV in the market today. Consumers say that the picture quality and color are impressive as well as the sound produced. A lot would also agree that setting up the HDTV is easy and convenient.
Some consumers say that their unit shuts down randomly which does not usually happens in all units. Also, some say that it is hard to navigate the TV’s features using the standard remote. There is also no flash support as I’ve already mentioned. Apart from these glitches that consumers found so far, the HDTV performance is quite impressive. Amazon consumers rated it 4.3 out of 5 stars.

Conclusion
When it comes to the price, the Samsung UN32EH5300 is not necessarily the cheapest or the most expensive. With all the features you can get through the package, the price of under $500 proves to be great value for money. But it all boils down to what you are going to use the TV for. If you’re planning to have sleek, sophisticated and web-savvy HDTV in your bedroom, this model from Samsung is a great buy.
Pros
The most enticing element about Samsung UN32EH5300 is the presence of various features such as for internet connections, Netflix, etc. The Wi-Fi technology included in the TV is a major plus to the HDTV as well as the fact that it has stronger and easy setup to connections. The overall picture quality is pretty impressive. The web page PIP comes along with the TV signal.
Cons
The web browser doesn’t support Flash, which I initially thought Samsung does support on these TVs. However, if you don’t plan on using the HDTV as your ‘computer’ then I think this is not much of an issue. Perhaps another turn-off would be the 32-inch compact design for the 1080p resolution since it is ideally used for smaller spaces and not as a primary TV in the living room.
