Is a 1080p QLED TV worth it at 32 inches?

Yes if you want better color than a basic 32-inch HD set and sit close. It is not 4K, so it suits bedrooms and kitchens more than a main living-room TV.

Does this TV support 4K or HDR?

It is 1080p Full HD, not 4K. It does support HDR10, which improves color and contrast on compatible content within the panel's limits.

Can I mount it on a wall?

Yes. It uses a standard 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern and comes with a freestanding stand if you prefer a tabletop.

Does it have Bluetooth for headphones?

Yes. It supports Bluetooth personal audio, so you can pair headphones for private listening.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

Two HDMI inputs. That covers a console and a streaming device, but a soundbar or extra box will need a switcher.

Is it good for gaming?

Only casually. The 60 Hz refresh rate and 1080p resolution suit simple and older games, not fast competitive play on new consoles.

Our take on the TCL Q31K Series QLED 1080p FHD Smart Google TV 32-inch

The TCL Q31K is a 32-inch 1080p TV that uses a QLED panel with quantum dots and HDR10 support, which is unusual at this size, where most sets are plain LED. It runs Google TV with Google Assistant built in, dual-band Wi-Fi and two HDMI ports. The bezel-less FullView metal design and 178-degree viewing angles make it a tidy fit for a bedroom, kitchen or small living room. It is a step up from basic 32-inch HD sets on color and smart features, but it is still a 60 Hz 1080p panel, so it is not a gaming or big-room TV.
