This 32-Inch Roku TV Is Now Under $100.
A 32-inch TV doesn’t have to be one-size-fits-all. Whether it’s for a guest room, kitchen, dorm, garage, or small bedroom, it should generally be easy to use, easy to place, and affordable enough that you don’t have to think too hard about buying one. The Hisense 32-inch A4 Series Roku TV is a great fit for this purpose, especially at its current price of $97.99, down from $149.99. The larger 40-inch model is also on sale, but the 32-inch version is the obvious choice if you need an extra screen without breaking the bank. Plus, it weighs 8.2 pounds and measures 28.6 inches wide, so it should fit on a dresser, a small media stand, or a wall mount without taking up too much space.
The main advantage here is that Roku TV is built-in. You don’t need to add a streaming stick to access apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, YouTube, and other major services. The included remote also has quick-access buttons, which is convenient for a TV that might be used by guests, children, or anyone who doesn’t want to fiddle with menus. Hisense also includes three HDMI ports, one USB port, Wi-Fi, RCA, and a 3.5mm audio jack, so you have the basics for connecting a cable box, game console, antenna, or external speakers. Dolby Audio and 2.0-channel 12-watt speakers should be sufficient for a small room, but they won’t replace a soundbar.
The main compromise is resolution: this is a 720p HD TV, not 4K, so it’s not suitable if you need a crisp primary display for movies, sports, or new games. However, at 32 inches, 720p is still acceptable for streaming video, local news, YouTube, cartoons, old TV shows, and background TV playback. The 60Hz refresh rate is also quite low, so serious gamers should look elsewhere. However, for a Nintendo Switch, an older console, or occasional HDMI connection, it’s perfectly adequate.
