The Best Small TVs (32 to 48 Inch)
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Small TVs are not an afterthought anymore, and the old 720p and 1080p sets that used to fill this category have mostly been replaced. Today’s best small screens are 4K, from a 32-inch you can fit on a shelf to a 48-inch OLED made for a bedroom. We picked five that are worth your money and were in stock on Amazon when we checked.
Quick answer: the best picture in a small room is the LG C6 OLED. A well-rounded 43-inch with gaming features is the Sony BRAVIA 3 II. The smallest 4K you can buy is the Samsung Q8F at 32 inches.
Last checked October 2026. Models and stock change quickly, so confirm availability on Amazon before you buy. Picks are ranked using independent lab tests from RTINGS, plus the specifications listed on each Amazon page.
Our pick · Best small TV overall
LG C6 OLED, 48-inch (2026)
The picture quality of a home theater, in a size that fits a bedroom.
Reasons to buy
- Best small TV RTINGS has tested
- Brighter RGB Tandem panel at 48 inches
- Four HDMI 2.1 ports and a 165Hz panel
- Huge app selection
Reasons to avoid
- It costs the most on this list, and like every OLED it is happiest in a dim or moderately lit room.
Why we picked it
RTINGS calls the C6 the best small TV it has tested, and the 48-inch is the sweet spot: it uses the brighter RGB Tandem panel normally reserved for LG’s larger C6H, so colors pop in a way smaller OLEDs usually cannot.
You get a huge app selection, four HDMI 2.1 ports and a gaming-ready 165Hz panel, all on a screen that is happy on a dresser or a wall mount.
Key specs
- Linked size: 48-inch (also sold in 42, 55 and 65-inch)
- OLED evo panel, 4K resolution
- Up to 165Hz, VRR, G-Sync and FreeSync Premium
- Four HDMI 2.1 inputs

Best mid-range small TV
Sony BRAVIA 3 II, 43-inch
Console-ready features and a calm, easy interface in a 43-inch frame.
Reasons to buy
- RTINGS: best mid-range small TV
- Four HDMI 2.1 ports and a 120Hz panel with VRR
- PlayStation 5 extras like Auto HDR Tone Mapping
- Anti-reflective coating copes with daytime glare
Reasons to avoid
- There is no local dimming, so blacks look gray and washed out in a dark room.
Why we picked it
RTINGS picks the BRAVIA 3 II as its best mid-range small TV. It is well equipped for the money: four HDMI 2.1 ports, a 120Hz panel with VRR, and PlayStation 5 extras like Auto HDR Tone Mapping.
Its anti-reflective coating copes well with daytime glare, and Google TV makes finding something to watch quick. Amazon notes five Sony Pictures Core movie credits are included.
Key specs
- Linked size: 43-inch (also sold in 50, 55, 65, 75, 85 and 100-inch)
- LED, 4K resolution, 120Hz
- Four HDMI 2.1 inputs

- XR Processor, Google TV
Best mini-LED at 43 inches
Samsung M70H Mini LED, 43-inch (2026)
Mini-LED backlighting in a size that usually gets basic LED.
Reasons to buy
- Mini-LED backlighting at 43 inches
- Samsung says brighter highlights and deeper blacks than standard HDR
- Motion Xcelerator and 120Hz
- Samsung TV Plus: 2,700+ free options, 750+ channels
Reasons to avoid
- It is a 2026 model, and an independent lab verdict was not available when we wrote this, so we have kept to the manufacturer’s specifications.
Why we picked it
Samsung’s M70H brings mini-LED lighting, which controls brightness in many small zones, to a 43-inch screen. Samsung says the result is brighter highlights and deeper blacks than a standard HDR TV.
Samsung TV Plus adds over 2,700 free streaming options, including 750+ subscription-free channels, so the TV has plenty to watch before you add a single subscription.
Key specs
- Linked size: 43-inch
- Mini LED, 4K resolution
- Motion Xcelerator and 120Hz
- Pure Spectrum Color
- Samsung TV Plus free channels
Best 32-inch TV
Samsung Q8F QLED, 32-inch
One of the few 32-inch TVs with true 4K sharpness.
Reasons to buy
- Rare 4K sharpness at 32 inches
- RTINGS: best 32-inch smart TV
- Quantum dot color
- Software updates expected for up to eight years (RTINGS)
Reasons to avoid
- It is pricey for its size, and dark scenes look a bit washed out. RTINGS says it is too dim for a dramatic movie night.
Why we picked it
On a screen this small, 4K makes text and detail look incredibly crisp, and RTINGS names the Q8F the best 32-inch smart TV you can buy. It is slim enough to tuck onto a kitchen counter, desk or swing-arm mount.
Samsung’s Tizen platform covers the major streaming apps, and RTINGS notes it is expected to receive software updates for up to eight years.
Key specs
- Linked size: 32-inch (also sold in 43 to 85-inch)
- QLED, 4K resolution
- 60Hz at the 32 and 43-inch sizes
- Quantum dot color
- Tizen smart platform, wall-mountable
Simple and affordable
Roku Select Series, 43-inch (2026)
Plug it in, press a button, and start streaming.
Reasons to buy
- Famously simple Roku home screen and remote
- 4K resolution with HDR10
- Voice remote and Bluetooth headphone mode
- Lots of free live TV and streaming channels
Reasons to avoid
- It is a basic set, and we did not find an independent lab review of this exact model, so treat it as a simple everyday TV, not a picture-quality champion.
Why we picked it
Roku’s home screen is famously simple: an uncluttered remote and set-up in minutes. If you want a no-fuss second TV for a guest room or kitchen, that simplicity is the whole point.
You still get 4K resolution, HDR10, a voice remote and Bluetooth headphone mode, plus lots of free live TV and movies.
Key specs
- Linked size: 43-inch
- 4K resolution with HDR10
- Roku smart platform and voice remote
- Bluetooth headphone mode
