Score: 80/100
Vizio VFD32M-0807
Score: 78/100Rankings
The TCL 32S350R delivers Full HD performance with HDR in a compact 32-inch form factor, backed by Roku's easy-to-use smart platform and a game mode for casual gamers. It offers solid connectivity but falls short on premium features like Ethernet on the Google version and high-speed HDMI.
The VIZIO 32-inch Full HD Smart TV offers a sharp 1080p display, solid DTS Virtual:X audio and a full suite of smart features, making it a good fit for small spaces and budget-conscious buyers. Its lack of HDR and limited HDMI ports keep it from being a premium option.

Professional editors commend the TCL S3 for its straightforward Roku interface and Google TV's AI recommendations, noting the direct-LED panel and HDR support as strong value-adds for a sub-$200 TV. However, they point out the lack of Ethernet on the Google TV version and the absence of HDMI 2.1/VRR, which limit its appeal to serious gamers and users seeking a more premium build.
Everyday users overwhelmingly praise the TV's price-to-performance ratio, ease of setup, and sharp picture quality, especially for secondary rooms. Recurring complaints focus on the thin speakers, the presence of ads on Google TV, the missing Ethernet port, occasional streaming lag, and occasional delivery damage.
Professional reviewers commend the VIZIO 32-inch TV for delivering excellent value, a crisp and vibrant Full HD image, and robust smart features like dual AirPlay 2 and Chromecast. They note the drawback of missing HDR on the newer D-Series and the less uniform brightness of its Direct-Lit panel.
Everyday users consistently praise the TV's sharp picture, easy setup, and surprisingly good built-in sound, while complaints focus on the limited app library, occasional Bluetooth pairing hiccups, a basic remote and the lack of HDR.
