The Bottom Line Shoppers for bargain-basement 32-inch LCD TVs can do better than the Panasonic TC-L32C5. If you want the cheapest small TV with halfway-decent picture quality, look no further than the Toshiba 32C120U. The Samsung EH4000 is one of the best TVs available at the size and price, with above-average picture quality and a svelte design. For people seeking integrated Smart features, the Vizio E320i-A0 is the strongest value we've seen yet among 32-inch TVs.
