Rank #8 in Best 32 Inch TV 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the QLED Label Doesn't Set the Price
EMtronics EM32ROK 32-Inch HD Ready Roku Smart TV
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The EMtronics EM32ROK is a 32-inch Roku smart TV with a 720p HD Ready panel, listed at £119.99. It comes eighth in this guide, and it sits at the bottom of the band this article keeps coming back to: every 720p set here falls between £119 and £149, and this is the cheapest end of that group. It is not an expensive set, and it does not pretend to be — no QLED badge, no six-figure contrast claim. Compare it with the 32-inch Hisense at £198.98, which declares QLED and a 100,000:1 contrast ratio: that is £78.99 more for numbers the eye cannot verify, on the same 1080p-versus-720p question this guide keeps returning to.
What the listing actually gives you for £119.99: a 32-inch LED panel at 60 Hz, three HDMI ports, one composite video input, USB, Wi-Fi with Apple AirPlay, and the Roku platform, which the listing says opens over 150,000 films and TV episodes and hundreds of apps including Netflix, Disney+, BBC iPlayer and Prime Video. It is listed at 18 cm deep, 73.3 cm wide and 48 cm high, and 3.86 kg — lighter than the two LG models in this guide, which are listed at 4.65 kg without their stands. The listing header reports 4.5 out of 5 from 401 ratings, though the star breakdown displayed with it adds up to 100 entries, not 401, and contains more one-star entries (6) than two-star (1) and three-star (4) put together. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon product listing — none of it comes from testing we have carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Easy set up, good picture and sound quality for use in a small room. Light weight and easy to move about. You can download the Roku app on your phone and use that as the remote control. It's much easier to use when searching as you have the keyboard instead of the usual clunky search function via the remote. All in all I'm happy with it , it's good for the price.”
Verified purchase“Finally got what I needed.Delivered promptly and got it up and running without any trouble.Brief moment of panic when I thought it wouldn't connect to my dvd player, but eventually I found the correct socket. It was so located that I needed to get down on the floor and shine a torch upward, but that once achieved, everything went fine.If I'd gone for an EMTronics in the first place I'd have saved myself a lot of hassle.”
