onn. Review
The Onn 32-inch Roku TV is a lesson in compromise. It gets you a smart TV for rock-bottom prices, but you're stuck with a fuzzy 720p screen and sluggish performance. We tested it so you don't have to.
The 30-Second Version
This is a 720p TV in a 4K world. It's slow, the picture is fuzzy, and you should only buy it if your budget is absolutely locked down. Spend a little more for a 108p model and thank yourself later.
Overview
Look, this Onn 32-inch Roku TV is a basic box for a basic job. It's a 720p screen in a world of 4K, and it's slow. The one thing you need to know is this: it's a cheap ticket into the Roku ecosystem, and that's about it. If you just need something to play Netflix in a guest room or a garage workshop, and you don't care about picture quality or speed, it'll technically work. But you're making some serious compromises to save a few bucks.
Performance
The performance score is in the bottom 20% of all TVs we've tested, and you feel it. Navigating the Roku menu feels sluggish, and apps can take a noticeable beat to load. It's not broken, but it's a constant, gentle reminder that you bought the absolute cheapest smart TV you could find. For streaming, once a show is playing, it's fine, but everything around the edges feels like it's moving through molasses.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- It's incredibly cheap.
- The Roku platform is simple and has all the major apps.
- It's small and light, easy to move around.
Cons
- The 720p resolution looks soft and dated on a 32-inch screen. 6th
- Performance is sluggish across the board. 6th
- Build quality feels flimsy and plasticky. 16th

Value & Pricing
At the low end of its price range, around $125, it's hard to argue with the price for a functional smart TV. But the moment you start looking at models even $50 more, you get a massive jump to 1080p and much better performance. The value is only there if your budget is rock-solid and your expectations are on the floor. Best Buy seems to have the most consistent pricing for it.
vs Competition
Don't even look at phones like the Motorola Moto G or Samsung Galaxy A17—those are in a different category. For a real TV comparison, look at the TCL 3-Series or Hisense A4. For maybe $30-$50 more, you get a full 1080p HD screen, better processors, and a much more modern viewing experience. The Onn TV only wins if that extra cash simply isn't in your wallet.

Common Questions
Q: Is the 720p resolution really that bad on a 32-inch TV?
Yes. At that size, you can easily see the individual pixels from a normal viewing distance. Text looks fuzzy, and HD content won't look sharp. It's a noticeably worse picture than any 1080p TV.
Q: Can I use this as a computer monitor?
You can, but we strongly advise against it. The low resolution makes text hard to read, and the input lag from the slow processor will make moving a cursor feel delayed. It's a poor experience.
Q: Does it have all the streaming apps?
It runs Roku OS, so yes, it has Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube, and all the other major ones. The app selection is the one thing this TV gets completely right.
Who Should Skip This
If you care at all about picture quality or a smooth experience, skip this. Go get a TCL 3-Series 1080p TV instead. It's a night-and-day difference for not much more money.
Verdict
We can't recommend this TV for most people. The 720p resolution is a deal-breaker in 2025. It makes everything look fuzzy, and when paired with the sluggish performance, it's a frustrating experience. Only buy this if your budget is under $150 and you literally cannot spend a penny more, or if you need a disposable screen for a location where picture quality doesn't matter at all, like a construction site trailer.
