Good value, great performance.

Pros Great visual quality, good sound (even when using the TV speakers vs. stereo output)
Cons A little slow switching channels.
Recommended it? Yes
The Bottom Line:  Can't see how you could go wrong with this choice.
First, the ePinions product details for this TV state "Front A/V input - No"... yet our 32UX01S does indeed have front A/V input jacks, behind a hidden door to the right of the controls. A little misleading, and it's not the first time I've seen incorrect features listed for products on this site.

Perhaps some verification is in order (like anything else on the 'Net...).

Overall, we really like this TV - we compared picture quality against similar Toshiba, JVC, Sony, & Panasonic models (in-store, next to each other), and only the Panasonic had better quality (at a much higher price than the rest). The rest seemed fuzzy in comparison, especially when the background image had a lot of detail. Other screens also seemed to lack contrast.

Setup & operation was quite simple, and the features provided are more than enough to keep one happy (PiP, favourite channel categories, commercial skip, parental lockout, etc.).

Two minor complaints: ours was bundled with a matching silver TV stand, but the packaging for the stand did not adequately protect the finish of the pieces. Consequently, there are some small scratches & dings - nothing obvious, but I would expect better packaging, such as paper in between the panel pieces.

Also, I would have liked a direct "line-out" audio jack that isn't controlled by the TV's volume control - again, a minor point.

Definitely a nice unit, though.
