Reviews of the Samsung LN-R3228W
-
CNET Review
The Good: Very attractive all-black styling; accurate primary colors; PC input.
The Bad: Lighter black levels than some LCDs; color decoding accentuates red; no independent input memories; lacks HDTV tuner.
The Bottom Line: If you don't demand the best image quality or need an HDTV tuner, the Samsung LN-R3228W's style might win you over.
Manufacturer: Samsung
Part number: LN-R3228W
