Once you are ready to turn on the TV Samsung UN32H5203 for the first time, you are presented with about an eight step wizard that is probably best-in-class. It clearly takes you through the process with text, diagrams, and interactive questions. There were three hiccups for me though during the installation/setup. One, pushing in the IR cable was difficult enough that I thought I might have the wrong port and/or could be breaking something. Eventually I figured out to push it in really hard. Two, the IR setup did not work with my DirecTV HR24-200 for some reason. And three, I am not exactly sure what happened with my TV getting an update over the internet. I thought the TV may had tried after I setup the wireless Internet, but then it seemed to try again in a later step. After the TV spent about five minutes processing something, it came back to tell me that I was already up to date. I'm okay with these hiccups because rather than use the Samsung remote with DirecTV, I prefer it the other way around by using the DirecTV remote with the Samsung UN32H5203.
One big complaint, worthy of deducting one star from the review, I have is that you have to register with Samsung in order to get some of the apps like YouTube. Besides being annoying to do so, I think about people less technical like my parents. The quick setup doesn't even make it apparent that you are missing apps or that other apps are available -- you have to find out in the larger manual. Further, for the less technical, the registration process isn't exactly easy and includes a 359 page end-user agreement plan! This has gone too far. I'd rather just have the most popular apps available at the start and avoid this whole registration process. Having a less intuitive registration process is a shame given how easy the setup wizard was Samsung UN32H5203.
Remote is well laid out and includes a special "Smart Hub" and eManual button which is convenient. Picture quality seems excellent, and menu speed is not super fast but no slow either. TV start up time is fast, but the Internet portion takes about 1-2 minutes to be accessible for me which is probably slower than industry average. Despite the numerous complaints, for the price and all the features you get, this is a pretty good setup once you get past the hurdles of registration and setup.
