Best 32-inch TVs in 2026

The Q5F is the most complete 32-inch set in this group on paper. Samsung lists a Full HD 1920 x 1080 panel with QLED colour and Quantum HDR, which is a step up in colour from the plain LED screens that dominate this size. At 32 inches the extra pixels matter less than they do on a big screen, but text and menus look cleaner than they do on an HD Ready set.

The tuner section is practical for this part of Europe. Samsung lists a DVB-T2CS2 digital tuner, an analogue tuner and a CI slot, so an aerial or a satellite dish can both be connected directly. Smart features run on Tizen, with Bixby built in and support for Alexa and Google Assistant through separate speakers. One of the two HDMI ports supports eARC, which is useful if you add a small soundbar to improve on the 10 W speakers.

The trade-offs are typical for the size. Two HDMI ports is enough for a console and a streaming stick, but not much more. The refresh rate is 50 Hz, so it is not aimed at gaming, and Samsung does not list Dolby Vision. For a bedroom, a kitchen counter or a desk, it is a tidy and well-specified choice.

The F6000 is a straightforward 32-inch smart TV from a 2025 range, and it suits rooms where nobody is judging the picture. Samsung lists a Full HD panel, HDR and HDR10+ support, and the Hyper Real processor, so streaming apps look sharp enough for everyday viewing and children's programmes.

Tizen is one of the easier smart platforms to live with. Menus are quick, apps are easy to find, and the remote is simple, which matters in a kitchen or a spare room where the TV is used by everyone. Bixby is built in, and Alexa and Google Assistant are supported in listed regions. Samsung also lists a DVB-T2C digital tuner, an analogue tuner and a CI slot.

Because it uses a plain LED panel rather than the QLED screen of the Q5F, colours are less vivid and it is not the set to pick for dark-room film nights. Both HDMI ports are limited to a console and a box, though the listing mentions eARC for adding a soundbar. The 10 W speakers are fine for the news but thin for films. If you want a no-fuss TV for a smaller room, it does that job.

The A5S is a budget QLED that covers every common way of receiving TV. The retailer listing shows DVB-T2, DVB-S2 and DVB-C tuners, so it works with a terrestrial aerial, a satellite dish or a cable service without extra boxes. That flexibility is useful in a bedroom, holiday home or caravan where you do not know in advance how the signal will arrive.

The panel is a 32-inch Full HD QLED with a Direct-LED backlight and a 60 Hz native refresh. The listing quotes a 1200:1 typical contrast ratio, which is modest, so do not expect deep blacks. HDR is limited to HDR10 and HLG. The speakers are rated at 14 W RMS with Dolby and DTS decoding, which makes it one of the louder sets in this group.

The weaker points are the connections and platform details. There are two HDMI ports and they are listed as HDMI 1.4, so this is not a gaming TV. VIDAA is the smart platform, and the listing does not mention voice assistant support. As a simple, inexpensive second TV that can take almost any signal, it is a sensible choice.

The V5D is the budget pick of the group. It pairs a Full HD QLED panel with Fire TV, so you get the Amazon interface, Prime Video and Alexa voice control on the remote at a low tier. TCL lists HDR10 and HLG, Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X sound processing, and built-in AirPlay 2 for streaming from Apple devices.

Retailer listings give a 60 Hz panel, two HDMI 1.4 ports and a weight of around 3.2 kg without the stand, so it is easy to mount on a bracket or move between rooms. The picture should look cleaner than a basic LED set because of the quantum dot layer, but as with any 32-inch Full HD TV, it is a convenience screen rather than a home cinema.

There are caveats. TCL does not list speaker power on its page, and tuner details are not given in the sources we could read, so check the tuner type before relying on an aerial. Fire TV also puts Amazon content front and centre, which some people dislike. If you want a simple Alexa-enabled screen for a bedroom or kitchen, it is a good low-cost starting point.

The Panasonic 32S55 brings a familiar name to the small-TV market. It is a 32-inch Full HD LED set with an edge-lit backlight, HDR10 and HLG, a 60 Hz panel and Panasonic's HD Colour Engine processor. Fire TV is the smart platform, with Alexa built in, so the voice remote controls apps, smart-home devices and search.

The design is plain and compact, at 728 mm wide and 4.5 kg without the stand, and it uses a small 75 x 75 mm VESA pattern, so check your wall bracket before buying. Speakers are 2 x 6 W, which is adequate for speech but not for film soundtracks. There are two HDMI ports, enough for a streaming stick and a console or a Blu-ray player.

The main caution is that this looks like an older design. The retailer page we could read does not state a launch year or the tuner types, and newer sets from other brands in this group use QLED panels or extra tuner types. It makes sense mainly if you prefer the Panasonic name and want Alexa on the remote. Check current stock and the exact model code with the retailer before buying.
