Samsung UN32F6000FFXZA 32 Inch 32" 2025 Review

A surprisingly capable little 1080p TV for a spare room, with better HDR than it has any right to have. Just don't expect a home theater experience on a 32-inch screen.

Look, it's a 32-inch 1080p TV in 2025. The one thing you need to know is that this is a solid, no-fuss TV for a bedroom, kitchen, or guest room, but you're not buying it for a mind-blowing home theater experience. It's got a decent smart platform and surprisingly good HDR support for the price, but the small 1080p display is its biggest limitation. If you just need a reliable screen to watch the news or stream Netflix without breaking the bank, this Samsung gets the job done.

The most surprising thing in our data is the HDR performance, which lands in the 87th percentile. That's genuinely good for a budget TV this size. It means you'll get better contrast and color in supported content than on most other TVs in this class. The smart features are also a strong point, sitting in the 82nd percentile thanks to the Tizen platform and AirPlay support. Just don't expect miracles from the 1080p panel itself, which scores in the bottom 3rd percentile for display quality. It's fine for the size, but it's not sharp.

At $148, it's hard to complain. You're getting a brand-name smart TV with good HDR and a decent interface for about the price of a fancy dinner out. It's a great value if your needs are basic. If you're hoping for a future-proof 4K screen, it's a terrible value. Context is everything.

For a small screen, you're mostly comparing against other 32-inch models from TCL or Hisense. This Samsung wins on smart features and HDR. If you care more about pure picture quality for movies, the Hisense U6 series (in a similar size) might have a slight edge, but you'll pay more. Don't even look at the Sony Bravia 5 or LG OLED listed as competitors—those are giant, premium TVs in a completely different league and price bracket. This Samsung is for a different job.

If you're looking for your main living room TV, this isn't it. The 1080p resolution is a deal-breaker for a primary screen. Go get a 55-inch 4K TCL or Hisense instead for not much more money. Also, hardcore gamers should look elsewhere.

We'd recommend this TV for one specific person: someone who needs a small, reliable secondary TV and doesn't want to fuss with a streaming stick. The HDR is a nice bonus, and Tizen just works. For a primary living room TV, or for anyone who cares about resolution, you should save up for at least a 4K model. But for a dorm, kitchen, or bedroom? Yeah, this is a perfectly sensible buy.
