There’s simply too much good TV coming out recently to watch half of it on a crappy bedroom TV. (And Heated Rivalry and Bridgerton aren’t exactly living room shows.) Upgrading doesn’t have to involve choosing the cheapest small 4K TV — $100 will get you a 32-inch TCL QLED FHD TV if you grab it at Best Buy on March 3.
The TCL Q3K is a prime example of a budding trend I’m seeing: Small room TVs that are budget-friendly, but not a total throwaway purchase. The gorgeous 32-inch Hisense Deco TV is another good example, but its Best Buy sale price of $199.99 makes the $99.99 TCL deal look even better.
You don’t come by a TV that’s QLED but not 4K often. But if we’re trying to keep costs down for a TV that’s not your main one, the choice to sacrifice resolution (the 4K part) for a layer of quantum dots (the QLED part) makes sense.
Mashable Deals
Let’s say most of your bedroom, kitchen, or garage TV watching happens while doing tasks in the daytime or casually at night before bed — you probably aren’t that likely to notice slightly less crisp resolution if 4K is missing, but you’d definitely notice if the screen is borderline unwatchable in sunlight because the dim screen can’t handle glare. The brightness, boosted color saturation, and contrast that QLED brings make it the obvious choice for bright and dark rooms over a regular LED TV, even if it’s 4K.
