Our take on the TCL Class S3 32" 1080p Smart LED Google HDTV
The TCL S3 is a 32-inch 1080p LED TV running Google TV, with HDR support and built-in streaming apps. It is a small, basic set aimed at bedrooms, kitchens, dorms and second rooms rather than a main living-room screen. At this size most rivals are still 720p, so the full-HD panel is its clearest edge; the trade-off is modest brightness and contrast typical of budget LED panels. Reviewers of TCL's entry S-series generally find it easy to set up and fine for casual viewing, while noting weak sound and average HDR impact.
- 1080p panel where many 32-inch rivals are only 720p
- Google TV with all major streaming apps built in
- HDR support for compatible content
- Compact size fits shelves and small rooms
- Simple setup and familiar Google TV interface

What reviewers say
Owners of TCL's small S-series sets tend to call them good value for a bedroom or spare room, praising the sharp 1080p picture and easy Google TV setup. Common complaints are weak built-in sound and HDR that does little on a budget panel.
- Picture sharpnessPraisedOwners say the 1080p panel looks sharp at this size, especially against 720p rivals.
- SoundCriticisedReviewers find the built-in speakers thin and recommend a soundbar or speaker.
- HDRMixedHDR is supported, but owners say the effect is subtle on a budget panel.
Questions and answers
- Is 1080p worth it on a 32-inch TV?
- Yes. At 32 inches the jump from 720p to 1080p is visible in text, menus and detailed scenes, and many rivals this size are still 720p.
- Does it run Google TV with streaming apps?
- Yes. It runs Google TV, so Netflix, YouTube, Disney+ and other major apps are available, with Chromecast built in for casting.
- Is the HDR worth relying on?
- Treat it as a bonus. The set accepts HDR signals, but the panel's brightness and contrast limit how much difference it makes.
- Do I need a soundbar?
- It is a good idea. The built-in speakers are adequate for news but thin for movies and music.
- How many HDMI ports does it have?
- Most S3 32-inch sets have two HDMI inputs, enough for a console and a streaming stick, but check before adding more devices.
- Is it good as a main TV?
- No. It suits a bedroom, kitchen or dorm; for a main room a larger 4K set gives a much better experience.
