Any 32" tvs with FULL HD panels (1920x1080)?

[zolly]

So I'm looking to purchase a small TV for my room and either a chromecast or a mibox or something to go with it. But I don't want a HD Ready panel (1366x768 or whatever it is) but a full hd panel. Well I'll be damned but I can't find one. Any suggestions on where I might look, or alternatives to this situation?

i own 2 x 32" tvs and 720p is not bad at all. Why do you 'need' 1080p on such a small telly?

Really? PC gamer with 2 27" monitors so can't imagine having a big screen with such (relatively) low res. If feedback is generally positive then I'll just go with an HD Ready screen but ideally would like something better. I used to have a 32" Sinotec with a 1080 panel but after we got a 40" tv I gave it to a mate of mine who needed a screen, so just wondering if they can still be found somewhere.

Maybe just go check one out in a store, take a flash drive with some hd video and see if you are happy (from the distance you will be watching).

I'm assuming you've checked Takealot? You sure that not one of them are FHD? I know the 32" panels are more often than not, HD Ready but I've usually seen a FHD option floating around. I'd be surprised if you can't find any at all. Will have a look when I have some free time and see if I can find something online.

for gaming FHD makes sense coz you are sitting less than a metre from the screen
I thought you asked for a TV, thats why i assumed you would be sitting a few metres away from it, which is why HD Ready is perfect at that distance.

I game on a 24" FHD on my PC gaming rig and i use my Samsung 32" HD TV as my external monitor on my mac laptop for surfing the internet, MyBB, emails etc (the one im using right now as we speak)

None that I can find. It's really strange.

So it's going to be for movies/series. It's about 1.5 meters away from the foot of my bed. Not for gaming.

They were fairly unique, even at the time. Was hoping to get one today, but it seems like I may just have to go bigger if I want 1080p.

then check the Samsungs out, thats what im using and am very happy with it. My screen is about 60cm away and for me at 48 this is crystal clear.
my main tv in lounge is 55" and is about 4 metres max from viewing and HD looks terrible, so i watch 1080p movies and pleased.

Throw a few 720p movies in various formats onto a memory stick and head down to hifi corp, Game etc and go test them out, that is the best advice i can give you. Note what model you like then go online and research who has best prices

i too would rather go 1080p @ 40" than 720p @ 32"

I switched from a 27" cheapie Samsung monitor to a 32" FHD Samsung TV (UA32EH5000RXXA) a few years ago and it was great, much better black levels than the TN panels in cheaper monitors. It served well for a good few years, now I'm using a 49" UHD TV lol.

My 32" screen is FHD, my 52" screen is HD. My eyes don't care. Gofigure lol.
The 32" is a Sansui from Hifi Corp... bought quite a few years back.

Honestly had a 32 HD ready, and the panels have gotten quite good, compared to back in the day old Samsung Series 3 LCD... Now any 32 inch LED TV from a decent brand Including sinotec is pretty good.

My old samsung 5 series 32 inch was full hd, still have it. Just need a new psu

They did exist, but they don't really anymore.

40 inch FHD is only a grand more. Sometimes you get a 43 inch on special at Esquire for the price of the 40 inch.

 

[Rickster]

I was going to suggest a 32" PC monitor then i saw the prices...eish.

Ya ive checked and even the bastards that say FHD actually aren't when you delve a little deeper into the specs. I bought a 37" FHD TV a few years back that looks worse than my 12yr old Samsung HD Ready LCD. I wasn't impressed. Its a Telefunken from Takealot. There was a big thing about it as lots of people said it was advertised falsely. Im sure there was a thread about it on mybb somewhere...
