A 32-inch TV does not need to do everything. In a guest room, kitchen, dorm, garage, or small bedroom, it mostly needs to be easy to use, easy to place, and cheap enough that you are not overthinking the purchase. The Hisense 32-inch A4 Series Roku TV fits that kind of use well, especially at its current price of $97.99, down from $149.99. The larger 40-inch model is also discounted, but the 32-inch version is the more obvious pick if you want a secondary screen without spending much. Also, it weighs 8.2 pounds and measures 28.6 inches wide, so it should fit on a dresser, small media stand, or wall mount without taking over the room.
The biggest advantage here is that Roku TV is built in. You do not 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 shortcut buttons, which are useful for a TV that may be used by guests, kids, or anyone who does not want to dig through menus. Hisense also includes three HDMI ports, one USB port, wifi, RCA, and a 3.5mm audio connection, so the basics are covered for a cable box, game console, antenna, or external speaker. Dolby Audio and the 2.0-channel 12-watt speakers should be enough for a small room, but they will not replace a soundbar.
What do you think so far?
The main trade-off is the resolution—this is a 720p HD TV, not a 4K set, so it is not the right choice if you want a sharp main screen for movies, sports, or newer games. At 32 inches, though, 720p is still acceptable for casual streaming, local news, YouTube, cartoons, older shows, and background TV. The 60Hz refresh rate is also basic, so serious gamers should look elsewhere. For a Nintendo Switch, an older console, or an occasional HDMI hookup, it should be fine, though.
