The best TVS for cramming into your dorm room

FOR A STUDIO  apartment, guest bedroom, or dorm, a 32-inch LED TV is an excellent option. A wide variety of these models are out now at a bunch of different price points from cheap-as-chips to premium.

Whether you want a TV with built-in smart connectivity for your living room (with apps and access to the usual suspects like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime) or a model that’s just good enough to use as a secondary TV around the house, the big manufacturers like LG, Sony, Samsung, TCL, and Vizio all have offerings that can fit your needs.

We’ve tested all of the models below in our labs, and we’re here to tell you which ones are worth your hard-earned dollars. While none of these 32-inchers blew us away, there are a couple that are clear standouts if you want the best contrast, color, and overall image quality.
