in need of a 32 inch smart TV

by BlairW55 Jul 22, 2016 5:37AM PDT

I’m searching for a 32 inch Smart HDTV that’s 1080p, with a 120 refresh rate and has 4 HDMI inputs. I could live with 3 HDMI inputs but I still want the rest. Because of the area where the TV will go nothing larger than a 32 inch will work. I’ve searched but the best I’ve come up with is a Samsung UN32J5500AFXZA. It’s a Smart TV and is 1080p but the refresh rate is only 60 Hz. BTW if it has what I want I don't care how much the TV costs.. thanks to all...

Some CNET author actually says 60 is the better idea to avoid the soap opera effect.

Okay thanks, I didn’t know for sure. Not only do I watch cable I also have a Roku, an Xbox 360 and a PS4. Didn’t know how my gaming would be at 60 Hz. again thank you for the reply, Blair

I'm going to repeat a nod to the 60Hz model.

Gaming could suffer if you got a 120 or higher rate HDTV. The motion smoothing can increase input lag. 60 means no post processing and usually less lag. Which is what gamers always ask for.

Good information and that's why I have to ask. I did buy the UN32J5500AFXZA TV and am very pleased and at a reasonable price.
