Is 1080p worth it on a 32-inch TV?

Yes. At this size the step up from 720p is noticeable on text, menus and streaming content, and most budget 32-inch sets are still 720p.

Does it need a Roku stick?

No. Roku is built into the TV, so you sign in to your apps directly and use the included Roku remote.

Can I use it as a monitor or with a console?

Yes. The HDMI inputs accept a laptop, game console or streaming box, and the 1080p panel matches the output of most consoles at this size.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

It has three HDMI inputs, enough for a console, a streaming device and a laptop without a switcher.

Does it have a headphone jack or optical output?

It includes a headphone jack and digital audio output for connecting a soundbar or speakers.

Is the green color on the whole TV?

The green finish is on the cabinet and stand. The screen itself is a standard flat black panel.

Our take on the Element Building Block 1080P FHD Smart Roku TV 32-inch

The Element 32-inch is a 1080p LED TV with Roku streaming built in, so you get the Roku home screen and app library without a separate streaming stick. Its main draw is the full HD panel at a size where many rivals are still 720p, plus Roku's simple interface and remote. It suits bedrooms, kitchens, dorms and small apartments. Picture quality and sound are basic next to name-brand sets, and the green cabinet finish is a love-it-or-hate-it choice.
