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.
The Element 32-inch 720p Xumo Smart TV delivers a compact, budget-friendly streaming solution with a 120 Hz effective refresh rate, voice remote, and Apple ecosystem integration, though it lacks HDR and 4K.

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.
Professional editors note that the Element's Xumo OS delivers a fast, ad-supported experience with a surprisingly smooth 120 Hz effective refresh rate, and the inclusion of AirPlay 2 and HomeKit gives it an edge over similarly priced competitors, while the absence of HDR and 4K are expected trade-offs.
Everyday users appreciate the TV's plug-and-play simplicity, reliable voice remote, and value for small spaces, though they mention occasional shipping issues, remote button inconsistencies, and limited brightness.
“Plugged it in, connected to Wi-Fi, and was watching Netflix in under 10 minutes.”
“I didn't think I'd need external speakers, but the built-in audio is surprisingly good.”
“Remote control is basic and cheap-feeling, with no backlighting.”
