Best 32-inch TVs 2020: great cheap TVs for your second room

Sales trends suggest most of us want ever-bigger TVs in our living rooms. But there is still a place for the best 32-inch TV in our hearts. Or rather, in our kitchens, bedrooms, studies and conservatories.

Unfortunately, that most 32-inch TVs are destined to become a household’s second TV has seen them becoming increasingly homogenous and commoditised. Manufacturers focus more on making them affordable than particularly good, which means they will never get into our best TV list.

This is a shame. You usually want the same features as your main TV, and these sets often have to contend with a lot of ambient light, which downgrades the image quality level they actually achieve.

Fortunately there are still a few superior 32-inch TVs to be had if you know where to look. Here's a selection of what we consider to be the strongest 32-inch TVs you can buy today, including options selected their value, picture quality and smart features.

Upvote your favourite, and let us know at the bottom if you think we've missed a solid gold 32-inch TV.

Best 32-inch TV

Sony Bravia KDL-32WD754BU
£729 at Currys
The colour- and contrast-rich full HD picture is partnered by the best motion processing in the small-screen TV world, making the 32WD754BU a great option for films, video gaming and sports. Smart features include all the key UK catch up TV platforms and subscription streaming services, while the sleek design is far superior to the ‘functional’ look of many rivals.
LG 32LK6100
£199 at Amazon
The LG 32LK6100 also stands out from the crowd by supporting high dynamic range playback, a full HD resolution and three HDMIs - pretty amazing for £199. Its LCD panel type limits its contrast a little, but also provides wide viewing angles - a trade off that could work very well in many second room settings.
Panasonic TX-32FS500B
£429 at Currys
The 32FS500B also joins the LG 32LG6100 in supporting high dynamic range, making it another appealing model for PS4 and Xbox One S/X gamers.
