Performance
For a small TV, the TCL Roku punches above its weight. The 32-inch LED screen has a crystal-clear 1080p display and a refresh rate of 120Hz. Despite not being 4K, the screen still delivers vivid colors and smooth movements. This Roku smart TV excels in the connectivity department. It can be fully controlled from a phone or tablet through an app. It also comes with built-in support for Google Assistant and Alexa. If you’re looking for a 4K TV, the Toshiba 43LF711U20 is a better option.
Design
The design of the TCL smart TV might look basic, but it shines in terms of features. It comes with an ARC channel to get Dolby Digital Audio. There’s also three HDMI ports, and optical audio out, a coaxial antenna port, and one USB port. It also comes with two 5-watt speakers that do the job. One of the innovative design features is that it can be fully controlled using an app, negating the need for the provided remote control. Unfortunately, it isn’t a Fire TV like the Insignia NS-50DF710NA19.
Value
This TCL TV represents great value for money because of its extensive features. The 32-inch screen has excellent picture quality and the sound quality is also acceptable. It has enough ports for most people’s uses and is ready to hook up to different streaming services. The quick refresh rate of 120Hz means it can also be used by casual gamers looking for a cheap screen. This model only comes in 32-inches and if you want to go bigger you can check out the TCL 50S425, which goes up to 75-inches.
TCL 32S327 Wrap Up
This Roku smart TV delivers great HD picture quality and can easily connect to most streaming services. Unlike many other TVs at this price point, it can be controlled through a smartphone app. Although there’s no ethernet port it can connect to both 2.4 GHz, and 5GHz Wi-Fi. The TCL 32S327 is well worth its price.
