Video Features

LED Edge-Lighting: Samsung's LED Edge-Lighting technology allows for a high dynamic contrast ratio and ultra-sharp blacks by allowing multiple LEDs to turn on an off automatically based on the image. LED Edge-Lighting also provides more natural color representation and deep reds and greens, because Samsung uses white LEDs that produce 105% of the broadcast color gamut. The television's white LEDs are arranged along the left and right edges of the screen and a proprietary light guide is used to focus its luminance inwards towards the middle of the screen for a more uniform brightness. Overall, this LED Backlight system produces contrast with stronger blacks and whites, and greater subtlety of every gradation in between.

  • Wide Color Enhancer Plus: With Wide Color Enhancer Plus, you'll witness a wider spectrum of colors on the TV screen, just like the director intended. You'll enjoy enriched colors while watching your favorite movies, and shows, even if it's older, non-HD content.
  • Motion Lighting: The TV automatically adjust the brightness of the screen in response to the brightness of the room. In bright light, the screen brightens. In dim light, the screen dims.
  • Motion Rate 60: The Samsung LED-LCD TV features a native refresh rate of 60Hz.

1080p Resolution: The LED-LCD television displays all inputs at a resolution of 1080p (1920 x 1080).

MHL allows you to display full 1080p video and still images on the Samsung TV from your mobile smartphone.

  • Picture Options: Additional picture options provide you with an even better viewing experience.

Thanks for your question. There are several to choose from. When viewing the TV product page if you click the "Accessories" tab you will see a section for "TV Wall Mounts" and you will see a good range of purchase prices. If you need further information I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They should be able to help answer your question.

They are not.
robert  Jan 01, 2017

I am guessing no. I mounted my TV on the wall.
michael paul  Jan 01, 2017

No, they do not adjust. You have about an inch clearance underneath the tv...
pete  Dec 31, 2016

Legs are not adjustable. The clearance between the tabletop and the bottom of the TV is 1.5 inches.
richard  Dec 30, 2016

No, I'm afraid the legs are not adjustable.
charlotte s.  Dec 30, 2016

The legs are not adjustable. However the base of the TV itself is flat and wide enough to just set it on top of my 12 inch wide cable box as long as it isn't in a place where it would get vigorously jolted off (or knocked off by a cat, for example).

No. The legs/feet are not adjustable.

Can you use this 32" Samsung outside under a covered patio?

A
My understanding, from my research, is no. This model is not built specifically for outdoor use and would not hold up to wind, dust and other outdoor elements.
robert  Sep 26, 2016
A
It is not rated for that, but you could on dry days.

Q
does it work at 220V 50hz?
diego  Feb 28, 2016

A
The manual and spec sheet do not give any reference to power or frame rate. My guess is that it is standard 120V and 60Hz. I suggest contacting Samsung directly.

Sorry Greywolfe, It was a gift for the wife who decided on something else. So I can't be of much help.

Paste your exact question into the Google search bar (as I just did) and there are a variety of solutions. Did you try contacting Crutchfield for their advice? On this TV we are not using a DAC but I wanted to point you in the right direction. Good luck!
charlotte s.  Sep 29, 2015
Q
Does this HDTV include both an ATSC and NTSC tuner? My dad still has an ancient analog cable provider up north, so a built in NTSC tuner is necessary. I don't see it specifically mentioned in the manual. Thank you.
peter  Jul 30, 2015

A
I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: It only has a built in ATSC tuner. Nothing we carry has NTSC. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat.

Q
Does this unit(Samsung (UN32J5205A) support - included in its available apps - HBO's HBO Now app and is it available as i have a HBO subscription and need to know if this TV has the HBO App available in it?

The TV comes with Apps for Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus, and Amazon Video. I have not played around with the SmartHub feature, but it looks like you can add other Apps to the list. The picture quality is excellent by the way.
michael paul  Aug 01, 2015
A
I don't see the HBO Now app as a freestanding app thru SmartTV, but it is embedded within the Amazon app, so you should be able to access it that way.
sabina  Jul 20, 2015

I do not know. we bought the unit for my mother who is 95 and only watches a limited number of channels available through her cable provider.
