The Story in Brief
A technology reviewer at Hindustan Times has argued that 4K resolution is no longer the primary factor in judging TV picture quality. The report states that almost all mid-range and premium TVs now offer 4K, making panel technology, AI upscaling, brightness, contrast, and the image processor more critical. Two 4K TVs can deliver vastly different viewing experiences based on these features, especially with non-4K content.
For smaller spaces, the outlet lists best 32-inch smart TVs for 2026, including models from Samsung, LG, Xiaomi, realme, Infinix, and Motorola. Buyers can choose between HD Ready, Full HD, or QLED displays, with prices varying by features like HDR, Dolby Audio, and voice controls. Samsung's Vision AI features, such as AI-powered upscaling on Neo QLED models, are highlighted as a growing trend.
The Indian Opinion
The notion that 4K alone guarantees a great TV is outdated marketing fluff, not a buying guide. While AI upscaling and Mini LED are real improvements, the industry pushes them as magic fixes for compressed streaming and old cable channels. The real test is simple: compare an OLED or Mini LED TV playing standard-definition content against a basic LED 4K set. The difference in clarity, not pixel count, will tell you where your money is actually going.
