The functional side of modern TVs has long been not limited to the standard viewing of programs. Technologies are developing fast enough, so even the home appliance industry is undergoing significant changes from year to year. In the past few years, products equipped with the Smart TV function have become increasingly popular.
On the shelves of stores there is a wide selection of such products, so it is easy for the buyer to get confused in such a variety. In order to facilitate your choice of similar products, we decided to write this article. It will present a rating of the best smart TVs with a diagonal of 32 inches, however, before proceeding to a direct analysis of their useful characteristics, we decided to offer you tips on choosing such a technique. Let’s start with this.
Summary of the rating:
What do you pay attention to when buying a smart TV?
In general, the first attempt to create a TV with functions similar to a computer was made about 20 years ago, but then there was no technology that provided high-speed access to the Internet. Today this feature is available, so more and more models are equipped with a smart function.
The lucky owner of such a device gains the ability to directly connect the device to the Internet, with which he can search for his favorite movies, work on social networks and just go to any sites. Another important opportunity of such a product is the lack of reference to the release of the series of your favorite series - the TV will easily record the broadcast of the channel so that the owner can watch it at any convenient time.
In addition, you can install full-fledged computer or console games on smart TVs, and on these gadgets the realism and the gameplay themselves become much brighter. When choosing this device, first of all, pay attention to the diagonal design. Our today's review will focus on devices with a diagonal of 32 inches - for a large room, such a screen does not work very well, but in a small kitchen or compact bedroom, it will be very useful.
In this case, the indestructible rule applies - the smaller the diagonal of the TV, the less distance must be maintained between the screen and the viewer. TVs of this size are available with a resolution of at least 1080p, which corresponds to the Full HD format, but there are also products that support 4K - this resolution is by far the highest. Be sure to pay attention to the viewing angles. Ideally, they should be as close as possible to 180 degrees. In this case, the colors and the picture itself will not be distorted even if the viewer watches TV at a decent angle.
Another important factor is the sweep frequency, which indicates how regularly the frames are updated. It is advisable to give preference to products in which this parameter is in the range of 200-400 Hz. The type of matrix can be liquid crystal, liquid crystal, equipped with LED backlight, which allows for compact dimensions of the device, there are also plasma ones - they have the highest cost, but at the same time are characterized by a long service life.
The more connectors of various kinds on the TV, the better, since with their help it will be possible to connect devices of various kinds to the device.When choosing models for compiling our rating, we were guided by all the principles considered, however, we decided not only to be limited to them, but also took into account the price-quality ratio, as well as user reviews. We hope that after a careful study of our rating, you will be able to choose the best model for yourself.
