Brands like Sony, Samsung, and LG have small TVs that still offer the kinds of features you’ve come to expect for home entertainment, including integrated voice controls, 4K resolution, streaming capabilities, Bluetooth connectivity, and screen mirroring.

However, if you’re looking for one of their larger counterparts, check out our list of the top TVs overall. Also: Best 32-inch TV deals right now If you’re looking for a TV that’s on the smaller side, you’d be hard-pressed to find one better than the Sony X80K. The 43-inch screen delivers top-notch 4K resolution that’s enhanced by Sony’s proprietary Motionflow XR technology which reduces motion blur for buttery-smooth action as well as Dolby Vision HDR for even better color and detailing. The TV’s processor also uses Sony’s XR-reality pro technology to upscale non-4K content so everything from old Hollywood classics to early 2000s sitcoms looks as good as the hottest blockbusters and Netflix originals. The X80K features a preloaded suite of apps like Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max so you can start streaming your favorite shows and movies right out of the box, and it’s optimized for use with the PlayStation 5, letting gamers get the most out of their new console. Plus, the voice-enabled remote works with both Alexa and Hey Google for hands-free controls, and you’ll be able to share media right from your smartphone or tablet with AirPlay 2. If a 43-inch TV is still a bit too large for your space, the 32-inch Samsung Q60A is your best bet. Not only will you get great 4K resolution, but this TV also features Samsung’s object-tracking sound technology that follows the on-screen action for 3D audio without the need for extra speakers or soundbars. It even has built-in sensors that monitor ambient sound and light to automatically adjust volume and screen brightness so you can enjoy your favorite shows and movies in almost any environment. The voice-enabled remote works with Samsung’s Bixby, Alexa, and Hey Google for hands-free controls, or you can connect your new TV to the Samsung SmartThings app to better integrate it into your smart home network; the app allows you to use the voice assistant on the TV to control things like smart light bulbs and other electronics rather than needing to stay within range of a smart speaker. With the multi-view feature, you can watch two videos simultaneously; which is perfect for keeping up with news headlines or sports scores while also going through your third re-watch of Seinfeld or 3 hours of old Vine compilations on YouTube. You can even use the Q60A as a remote PC monitor, so you can access your desktop or laptop and work from the comfort of your couch.

Retailing comfortably under $200, you’ll not only save money, but you’ll also still get a great smart TV. It uses the Roku platform to give you access to hundreds of streaming apps like Hulu, Spotify, and Paramount+ to let you start streaming right out of the box. You can also download the companion app to your smartphone or tablet to turn your mobile device into a voice-enabled remote for easier searching and browsing. The 3-Series also works with Alexa and Hey Google-enabled smart speakers for expanded voice controls and better integration into your smart home network. The Roku platform keeps your connected devices and most-used apps in a single, simplified home menu for easier access; which means no more navigating confusing menus or needing to memorize HDMI input names to watch a DVD, play a game, or launch an app. Additionally, the TV has a built-in digital tuner so you can watch local news and sports, even if you’ve cut the cord with your cable or satellite provider and moved exclusively to streaming. You’ll also get great 4K resolution and Dolby Digital Plus audio for a more cinematic experience. You can connect the TV to compatible Echo speakers for whole-home audio while streaming music or use the built-in microphone to make two-way calls with your TV and stay in touch with family and friends.

It has 3 HDMI inputs as well as an RF connection so you can set up multiple consoles, including retro ones like the SNES for the ultimate gaming space. With Bluetooth surround sound, you can connect up to two wireless speakers, soundbars, or subwoofers to create a custom home audio configuration that provides a more immersive experience without a headset. The NanoCell 75’s processor uses LG’s ThinQ AI technology to provide excellent native and upscaled 4K resolution so current and older generation games look their best. The TV works with Alexa, Hey Google, and even Siri for hands-free voice controls so you can switch on your console with a word. And sports game fans will love the sports alert feature which keeps you up-to-date on the latest scores, stats, and league standings so you can put together the ultimate fantasy roster.
