A4 Series 32 Inch HD Smart Android TV 32A4H Review

Introduction

The A4 Series 32A4H is a budget-friendly 32-inch HD Smart Android TV that promises a lot for its price point. I’ve spent the last few weeks putting it through its paces, testing its performance in various scenarios, from streaming movies to playing games. This review will delve into the details, highlighting both its strengths and weaknesses.

Features

The 32A4H boasts a decent array of features for a budget-friendly smart TV. The inclusion of Android as the operating system is a significant plus, providing access to a wide range of streaming apps. The DTS Virtual:X sound enhancement promises an immersive audio experience, and the inclusion of Chromecast built-in and Alexa compatibility adds further convenience. Two HDMI ports and two USB ports offer ample connectivity options, though more would have been appreciated. The 720p resolution is suitable for smaller viewing distances, as detailed in the specifications below.

Performance

Picture quality, as expected from a 720p display, is adequate for everyday viewing. Colors appear reasonably accurate, though detail suffers somewhat at higher resolutions. The 60Hz refresh rate is standard and sufficient for casual viewing, though motion blur can be noticeable during fast-paced scenes. The DTS Virtual:X audio enhancement provides a noticeable improvement over standard TV speakers, offering a more immersive and fuller sound. The Android operating system is responsive and user-friendly, though navigation could be slightly smoother. Streaming apps performed well, with minimal buffering, even on lower bandwidth connections.

I tested the gaming mode and was pleased with the response time. While not ideal for hardcore gamers, it provided a satisfactory experience for casual mobile gaming. Alexa integration works flawlessly for basic commands, making it easy to control the TV with voice commands.

Pros & Cons

  • Pros: Budget-friendly, Android OS, DTS Virtual:X sound, Chromecast built-in, Alexa compatibility, decent streaming app selection.
  • Cons: 720p resolution limits picture quality, only two HDMI ports, some motion blur noticeable.

Final Verdict

The A4 Series 32A4H is a solid budget-friendly option for those seeking a basic smart TV. While the 720p resolution is a limitation, its performance in other areas, such as audio and smart features, makes up for it to a certain degree. It’s perfect for a bedroom or secondary room where picture quality isn’t paramount. For its price, the 32A4H offers good value. I would recommend it to users with reasonable expectations and a smaller budget.
