1 out of 5 stars   Samsung 32" Monitors. Your worries about this size are correct.

Review submitted for Samsung Wide Viewing Angle HD 1920x1080 32" LED Monitor (SAMLS32F351FUNXZA)
Pros: It hasn't exploded yet.
Cons: My old 27" @1080p gave me 82 pixels per inch. This new 32" gives me 69 pixels per inch. I knew this before buying. In the days of CRT monitors I owned a .27 pixel sized monitor and moved to a larger .39 which is to go from good to worse by most standards, but I loved it. The larger .39 pixel made everything look huge and perfect. This is what I expected would happen when changing from 27" 1080p to 32" 1080p that this Samsung 32" 1080p monitor would provide. I expected it would be fewer larger pixels per inch. Why wouldn't it be? It is not as it should be. It is not with this monitor. It is in fact fewer exactly as small pixels covering more space. Imagine a 1000 grains of sand covering a flat space perfectly touching each other, then sneeze. This is the difference. If you look, at a viewing distance of two feet, at any solid color on the monitor what you see is a web of black, holding a matrix of colored pixels that do not touch each other. Like dusting spray paint lightly over an off colored wall you see both the spray of the paint color (the pixels) and the wall color (the black matrix) beneath it. Compounded by the fact that if you view this matrix off-angle everything turns grayish in tint as a result of the pixels inability to transmit their color as well as the black matrix holding them in place prevailing with its color.
Other Comments: My AOC carries on now three years old, same price, better value.

Other Comments: Additionally, the monitor face is super shiny and unless you sit in the absolute dark with the monitor off you will constantly be distracted by the reflections of your own angry fingers typing reviews of this monitor, or your own tired face looking back at your last Samsung monitor that you enjoyed so much, wondering why they duped me with tiny pixels, insufficiently covering the monitor's face... And finally, as though this fixed anything, to get reasonably correct color display you must dim the monitor to 30 30 60 sucking the vibrancy out of everything. Or turn it off and sell it on eBay, using a power off button only accessible by entering the on screen menu, to at last witness a brilliantly shiny and seamless image of its powered down black screen, a perfectly rendered space within which my hope and faith in Samsung's honesty died.
