Best Rated 32-inch TVs – This page contains a roundup the best top-rated 32-inch LCD and LED HDTVs, presented here for side by side comparison of price, features, and reviews. This size is good for small bedrooms or small dens. You can check what size you need by consulting our HDTV Sizing Guide. The 32-inch HDTV is the smallest sized TV where 1080p or 120Hz are available. For 2011 we expect more 32-inch HDTVs will have 120HZ anti blur technology, and will be LED Backlit. So if you are considering a 26-inch or 32-inch, you may want to opt for the larger 32-inch size if it will meet your size requirements and you want these features. Click on the reviews link underneath each TV to see owner reviews and ratings. New for 2011 is the advent of 3D ready 32-inch TVs.

Glossary of Terms
LCD = Liquid Crystal Display, the current most popular screen type (plasma being second most popular).

1080p = (1920×1080) with 2 million pixels resolution (Maximum Blu-ray quality)
