Samsung’s Tizen OS might not be our favorite streaming OS (that designation goes to Roku), but on the Q60A it’s still a snappy full-featured smart platform with the ability to integrate with Amazon Alexa. But while it’s one of the brighter TVs in the list, it’s still not bright enough for HDR to really shine. The picture is bright and thanks to quantum dot technology, the Q60A delivers some of the best color performance in this size category.

Although we should note that the Q60A has HDMI 2.0 inputs, so you won’t get full 4K/120Hz capabilities out of next-gen consoles. Speaking of gaming, the Q60A interface includes Game Bar, a menu that puts all gaming-centric information in one place. But the 4K resolution of the Q60A is a noticeable difference and very welcome if you plan on using the TV for gaming.

Many 32-inch TVs are limited to 1080p (sometimes called Full HD) resolution, and that looks pretty good from a few feet or more. Still, that extra cost buys a lot in terms of performance and features. The Samsung Q60A might be the most affordable option from their 2021 QLED lineup, but it’s still priced at a premium to some of the other TVs on this list. Coupled with the strong core picture qualities, the 3-Series delivers excellent value for the money. Roku even includes a decent range of totally free channels, like westerns and kids’ content, meaning it’s a snap to enjoy programming right away. It’s very easy to plug it in, do a bit of setup, and get down to watching things. The best thing about this TV is the built-in Roku software (which we generally prefer to Android software).

If you can find the 1080p version for a similar price, it's worth the upgrade, but we also don't recommend paying too much for a minor upgrade to resolution.

We also couldn’t help but notice some pixelation in menus while testing the 720p resolution version of the 32-inch model. Testing revealed rather limited brightness even on the highest backlight setting, meaning it might not be a great choice for a very bright space. If we’ve got one complaint about the 3-Series, it’s that it isn’t very bright. There’s no 4K resolution here (nor HDR compatibility), but you are getting reliable black levels, good color accuracy, and better backlight uniformity than we usually see in this price bracket. The main gist of this series is that it does away with a lot of the newer and more expensive qualities of most of the mainstream TVs you’ll see in stores these days: the 32-inch 3-Series is available in older 720p or 1080p resolution, while the 40- and 43-inch versions are also 1080p. Although the 3-Series may not have a lot of sizzle, it’s still a prime cut. It's available in a 32-inch model with smart software in tow (either Roku or Android).

Fortunately, the TCL 3-Series is one entry-level option that punches above its weight class. If you’re shopping for a secondary TV and you only want to spend a couple hundred bucks, the pickings can be slim.

These are the best 32-inch TV's we tested, ranked in order: But there are a few other TVs on our list worth checking out, all of which should offer solid performance and dependable quality to fit your micro-TV needs. It’s available with either 720p or full-HD 1080p resolution, offers commendable picture quality, and packs an intuitive, Roku smart platform. While you can often find crazy deals on no-name brands, we recommend sticking to more established manufacturers for your purchase to assure you get both a great deal and a TV actually worth keeping around.Īfter testing several of the most popular 32-inch TVs, the TCL 3-Series ( available at Amazon for $158.00) is our stalwart choice as the best 32-inch TV for most people. If you're looking to add some entertainment to a dorm room, kitchen, or guest bedroom, a 32-inch TV could be the perfect solution. Written by Michael Desjardin, Lee Neikirk, and John HigginsĮven though big TVs have become increasingly affordable in recent years, there are still plenty of reasons to pick up a pint-sized TV.
