how far away are you when using your PC?
yeah I am going to my local Richer Sounds at some point this week, although I am a bit concerned that the Samsung UE32F5000 doesn't always have the same panel!!!
according to avforum users anything other than Samsungs own panel have some sort of issue! ghost, bleed, etc etc

So I am looking at purchasing a ue32f5000 for PS4 and PC, but I noticed some reports of this model being fitted with various panels (Samsungs own panel being the best according to HDTVtest)
It seem that there is no way of telling what panel the TV has unless you:
a: check the version code on the back of the TV
b: go into the service menu on the TV
So I went into Richersounds and ask them about this, and they didn't know anything about it!
they also aren't willing to open the box for me or them to check!
they also now charge a 15% re-stocking fee If you take something back that in their opinion isn't faulty!
The guy in Richersounds thinks there is very little to choose from between panels and that it's all down to processing and room temp! he maybe right but I would imagine certain panels are better than others!
So I either buy the ue32f5000 and hope I get one with a Samsung panel or look for a 27" monitor instead!

I have emailed Samsung today and got this response!
With regards to your query about different panels in the F5000 model, I am sending this email to confirm that the same panels are used in each TV. Having been purchased from a legitimate company you are guaranteed that this Samsung product is manufactured using the correct parts.

So according to Samsungs own techsupport all the f5000's will have the same panel!!
