In our search, we used four main questions to guide us: What is the resolution? What smart TV interface does it use? Is the price fair for the quality? Is it bright and colorful? With these considerations in mind, we decided that the FHD model from Samsung is the best you can get. The price is accessible, the resolution is crisp and high, and the LED screen is gorgeous. But if you&#8217;re strapped for cash and need something super affordable, INSIGNIA&#8217;s F20 Series TV is an undeniable bargain. Now let&#8217;s dive in.<\/p>\n<h2>Samsung 32&#8243; Class LED Smart FHD TV<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-Electronics-UN32N5300AFXZA-1080p-Smart\/dp\/B07CL4GLQW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-Electronics-UN32N5300AFXZA-1080p-Smart\/dp\/B07CL4GLQW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/5118NO0m-aL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-Electronics-UN32N5300AFXZA-1080p-Smart\/dp\/B07CL4GLQW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The cream of the crop<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">With full HD, a responsive interface, and an accessible price, this TV scores the top spot on our list.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best Overall<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Samsung-Electronics-UN32N5300AFXZA-1080p-Smart\/dp\/B07CL4GLQW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>This smart TV from Samsung has everything we look for and more. Unlike most 32-inch TVs, this one has full HD resolution, resulting in sharp images that breathe life into shows and movies. We also love the smart TV interface, which gives you access to all the most popular streaming apps and more. It&#8217;s also super fast and responsive thanks to a built-in quad-core processor, so you don&#8217;t have to sit around waiting for Netflix to load up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fast setup<\/li>\n<li>Full HD resolution<\/li>\n<li>Wide range of inputs<\/li>\n<li>Connects to wifi quickly<\/li>\n<li>Excellent value for the price<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The max volume of the speakers isn&#8217;t very loud, so you may want to plug in external speakers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>RCA 32&#8243; HD Roku Smart TV<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/RCA-Class-720P-Smart-RTR3261-CA\/dp\/B07DCDNHZQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/RCA-Class-720P-Smart-RTR3261-CA\/dp\/B07DCDNHZQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41KRrgWoKvL.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/RCA-Class-720P-Smart-RTR3261-CA\/dp\/B07DCDNHZQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Small yet mighty<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">With HD resolution, this bright and colorful smart TV is another worthy consideration.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Runner Up<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/RCA-Class-720P-Smart-RTR3261-CA\/dp\/B07DCDNHZQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>Another excellent overall option, this TV from RCA offers HD resolution and advanced smart controls for a bargain price. Indeed, it uses Roku, which is one of the best smart TV media systems out there. The interface is easy to navigate and surprisingly fast, especially when you use the included Roku remote control. It&#8217;s also compatible with voice controls, making navigating the menus and streaming apps even speedier. For a simple buy with all the essentials, we recommend going with RCA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Affordable<\/li>\n<li>Strong wifi receiver<\/li>\n<li>Bright and colorful image quality<\/li>\n<li>Roku offers a vast catalog of downloadable media apps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Low-quality speakers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Samsung 32&#8243; M70B Series 4K Smart Monitor &amp; Streaming TV<\/h2>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-Monitor-Streaming-Wireless-LS32BM703UNXZA\/dp\/B09Z2H2JJK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><div class=\"amazon-card\"><div class=\"product-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-Monitor-Streaming-Wireless-LS32BM703UNXZA\/dp\/B09Z2H2JJK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img title='' alt='' src='https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/410I9KhWI6L.jpg' \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"product-details\"><h3 class=\"product-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-Monitor-Streaming-Wireless-LS32BM703UNXZA\/dp\/B09Z2H2JJK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The clarity we crave<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"product-summary\">This brilliant TV sports a 4K resolution and HDR, making it a versatile screen for everything from gaming to streaming.<\/div><\/div><div class='product-award'><div>Best 4K<\/div><\/div><p class=\"find-in-btn-wrap\"><a class=\"find-in-btn btn-amazon product-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/SAMSUNG-Monitor-Streaming-Wireless-LS32BM703UNXZA\/dp\/B09Z2H2JJK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find on Amazon<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<p>The M70B Series from Samsung is our premium pick.

And with a 60Hz refresh rate and 4ms response time, this is also a great option for console and PC gaming. Add to that the Samsung TV Plus interface and built-in Alexa voice assistant, and you have a high-end piece of technology.

It even outperforms many expensive TVs since the speakers can reach a high volume without losing much clarity.

However, this measurement doesn&#8217;t indicate the aspect ratio or the overall size of the TV&#8217;s full frame. For example, some TVs have thick bezels surrounding the screen that add additional size to their bulk. Generally speaking, most 32-inch TVs are roughly as big as a full-sized bedroom pillow.<\/p>\n<p><b>Do I need to pay a subscription to use a smart TV?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to pay a subscription to use media interfaces like Roku. However, you will need a subscription to use certain streaming apps, such as Netflix and HBO Max. These apps can be downloaded via your smart TV&#8217;s media interface, but you won&#8217;t be able to access their premium content without paying. Still, there are numerous free streaming apps worth checking out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Look For The market is flooded with 32-inch smart TV models, so we had to weed out the winners from the duds carefully.
