TCL 32V5C Full HD QLED Google TV, Satellite Input, ₹19,990

Want a 32-inch TV that is actually Full HD, not just HD Ready? The TCL 32V5C Smartchoice Full HD QLED Google TV is one of the very few Full HD 32-inch smart TVs on amazon.in. It was ₹19,990 when we checked (MRP ₹22,990), with 4.0★ from 2,852 ratings, an Amazon's Choice badge and 1K+ bought in the past month. It ranks #8 in our Best Smart TVs Under ₹20,000 list with an overall score of 6.6/10.

WHO IT'S FOR

Someone who sits close to a 32-inch screen, for example on a desk, in a small bedroom or in a study, and notices the soft look of HD Ready TVs. It also suits homes with a DTH dish, because it has a satellite input.

PICTURE QUALITY

A QLED panel with 100% colour volume (TCL's claim), micro dimming, AI Clarity, a 178° viewing angle and a 6.5ms response time. Expect richer colours than the regular LED 32-inch TVs in this list. Score: 7.5/10.

RESOLUTION AND HDR

Full HD (1920 × 1080) with HDR10. At 32 inches that means visibly sharper text and detail than the HD Ready (1366 × 768) TVs here. Score: 7.0/10.

BRIGHTNESS

Amazon lists 300 nits, one of the higher figures among the 32-inch TVs here. This is the seller's claim, not a measurement. Score: 6.0/10.

REFRESH RATE AND GAMING

A 60Hz panel. No ALLM or MEMC is listed. Fine for streaming and casual games. Score: 6.0/10.

PROCESSOR AND SMOOTHNESS

A 64-bit quad-core chip with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage. Good enough for the main apps, but not as quick as the 1.5GB and 2GB TVs in this list. Score: 6.0/10.

SMART OS AND APPS

Google TV with Google Assistant, screen mirroring, a web browser and all the main OTT apps: Prime Video, Netflix, JioHotstar, Zee5, SonyLIV and YouTube. The remote uses IR and Bluetooth. It also decodes AV1, the newer video format YouTube uses. Score: 9.0/10.

SOUND OUTPUT

The bullets list 28W with Dolby Audio, but the title says 24W. We use the lower figure until TCL confirms. Either way it is louder than the LG and Samsung 32-inch TVs here. Score: 7.0/10.

PORTS AND CONNECTIVITY

2 HDMI, 1 USB, Ethernet, antenna input, satellite input, optical (digital audio) out, AV-in adapter, headphone jack and Bluetooth 5.0. The weak spot is Wi-Fi 4 (older standard), so streaming may be less stable than on Wi-Fi 5 TVs. Score: 6.5/10.

DESIGN AND BEZELS

A metallic bezel-less design, 3.19kg, 100 × 100mm wall-mount pattern, with a stand and an audio cable in the box. It has a 1-star energy rating and about 62 kWh a year, the highest among the 32-inch TVs we checked. Score: 6.5/10.

WARRANTY AND SERVICE

1 year on the TV and 6 months on the remote; claims can be made with the Amazon e-invoice. Score: 6.5/10.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

Place the router close by or use Ethernet because of the older Wi-Fi. Use Movie mode for natural colours. Connect a soundbar to the optical port if you want more bass.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

• •The TV, stand, remote with two batteries, audio cable and power cord (Amazon listing).

HOW IT COMPARES AT THIS PRICE

The Acer 43-inch 4K Google TV (₹19,999) costs almost the same and gives you a much bigger 4K screen, 2GB RAM and dual-band Wi-Fi. TCL's own 32V4C HD Ready version is ₹18,990, which is poor value next to this Full HD model. For a much cheaper 32-inch QLED Google TV, the Xiaomi A Pro QLED 32 (₹15,499) is HD Ready but has a 3-year warranty offer.

VALUE FOR MONEY

You pay a premium for Full HD at 32 inches. Worth it only if you sit close. Score: 5.0/10.

VERDICT

The TCL 32V5C is the sharpest 32-inch TV in this list, with Full HD QLED and Google TV. Buy it for a desk or a small room where you sit close. Skip it if you have the wall space for a 43-inch TV at the same price.
