Why Are 32" TV's HD with No FHD?

I have a bedroom where I can use a good multi-mount and service the only two bed configurations in the room. 40" will be too large.

Other than the super $$$$ Samsung "frame", the 32's are HD only. Mobile phones are better spec'd than this? They used to sell them. What happened?

    Seriously?
    Check resolution before considering.
    My 32" has a 4k resolution, just use some brain and not the one of a HN salesperson!

    • Literally google it dude, pretty much all 32" TV's NOT MONITOR are 720p HD with a couple being 4k and absolutely zero that ive ever seen being 4k as you claim.

      only 32" ones higher resolution are monitors.

      Not OP but it's basically common knowledge that higher resolution at smaller sizes like 32" for a TV basically is non existent.

      • A couple are 4K but zero are 4K?

          They obviously meant a couple 1080 and zero 4k

        What might this be… and this?

        And just throwing in an overseas model 32inch Samsung 4K TV into the mix good measure - so they DO exist.

          What might the rest of that sentence i wrote be?

          You got ADHD and got distracted mid sentence or something?

            "Literally google it dude, pretty much all 32" TV's NOT MONITOR are 720p HD with a couple being 4k and absolutely zero that ive ever seen being 4k as you claim".

            THIS ^ is the rest of the sentence you wrote and that was what I was responding to!

            (f you're going to write a comment with a condescending tone like that, at least double-check it before you post it).

            You got ADHD and got distracted mid sentence or something?

            Go and read your own sentence again then ask yourself that!

              @bobbified: Yet you copy pasted half the sentence and refered to only that, i never said Full HD didn't exist (Yes i know i made a typo and mentioned 4K twice instead of Full HD and 4K anyone with half a brain could understand that it was an obvious typo) and i never said 4K didn't exist cause despite what you may think i searched for a 32" 4K TV and found that exact overseas model which is irrelevant as that's not available to Australia so my "and absolutely zero that ive ever seen being 4k as you claim"" point still remains valid.

              "(f you're going to write a comment with a condescending tone like that, at least double-check it before you post it)."
              That's funny as i only made my comment cause of your condescending attitude towards OP's post despite your comment being completely wrong.

              "Go and read your own sentence again then ask yourself that!"
              No need since i do have ADHD, ive had it since i was a kid.

    • something .. something … 4:4:4 chroma , whatever that is.

  • Theres probably 1 in a million people looking for them.

    My house is full of 32 inch Samsung FHD televisions. They're the shit. I hope they never break because they're great.

    Go second hand. The period when Samsung and others were still making them several years ago. Mine are all smart tv's, though I've since added CC's and Amzn casting devices.

  • They used to be more of a thing, with Kogan etc definitely releasing them not that long ago, but it would've come down to a cost thing - 40" tvs came too close in pricing to 32", so why bother with 32" any more?

  • I also noticed 32" FHD televisions were pretty rare. Didn't want to pay a premium for it so went up to 40" instead. Might cost more to make a 32" full HD screen than a larger one and people may not want to pay the higher price.

  • You went into a store that sells based on profit instead of quality & technology.

    Google "price TV 32" FHD" and go from there.

  • Thanks for the replies. I do know how to Google— that's what brought me to question why there aren't 32" FHD TV's, anymore. There used to be 32" FHD TV's out there and now there aren't.

    The argument that 40" TV's are more sought after as they're larger/better value doesn't actually address that sometimes you have limited space, as I do, to place a TV.
    And yes, I do know that there are much more expensive FHD 32's out there, I was questioning why? If Samsung is making and selling them at basically double the price of a HD 32", it seems there would be a market to undercut them by another brand.

    Anyway, I have thought of a monitor as a possible solution. I'll just keep looking.

    Cheers

    • Just look at the used market, as has been pointed out. 32" TVs are cheap when buying/selling used

    • The answer is factory produce panel from a mother piece of certain size which then got cut into multiple pieces of TV sizes of minimum wastage whilst catering for popular sizes in favor/demand.

      Something like , 1 mother piece can cut into 4x 65" + 2x 40" , or 2x 75" + 6x 40" , or 10x 55" (example only)

      My guess is 32" is not the size that fits the optimum configuration with minimal wastage, nor is it the popular TV size in top sales figure, and the profit margin of selling a 32" FHD TV at $250 is lower than 40" FHD TV at $400.

      So, they better off cutting the mother piece panel for popular sizes with higher profit margin.

    • Might sound crazy, but many moons ago DSE had a FHD 24 inch bedroom / small space television. I've seen a few pop up on marketplace from time to time.

    JB Hifi still sell a 32 FHD model. $545

    https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/samsung-t5300-32-full-hd-…?

    A few other manufactures used to make them as well. They were all expensive as I'd assume the demand for that size and dpi of panel is not high enough to get production costs down. To make up for it they were all smart tvs as the marginal cost of adding this would be low.
