According to Samsung this control “reduces the differences in volume level among broadcasters”. My unit is a LN-T3242H or simply the 32” model. According to the manufacturer the 23”, 26”, 32”, 40” and 46” all have the volume control. There are at least 2 levels of quality on these units. The least expensive has a red led in the circular “on” button on the front of the unit and the more expensive unit has a larger led on the bottom of the set. Since this is a kitchen/dining room unit for me, the less expensive works just fine. I have never had to adjust the volume because of a louder commercial than normal programming and I do notice that from channel to channel the volume remains constant. Again, this is a secondary unit for me and I cannot swear that it works 100% of the time, but in my application for this unit, I would highly recommend the product because I believe that the volume control does what it is expected to do.
