Hisense 32 inch 32N2176H TV Review


Display

This Hisense TV is equipped with a truly impressive display. 

It has a refresh rate of about 100hz so there is no blurring out during fast movie scenes characteristic of cartoons or action movies.

The picture quality is as clear as advertised although it is more 720p than 1080p as claimed.

The viewing angle is also okay. As I always explain, small screens usually come with narrow viewing angles. 

This causes that fading effect you notice when you view the screen from the sides.
But you won’t notice any fading with this TV which is a bonus considering the price.

Rating the display alone, I’ll give it 3 out of 5 stars. This is because it’s not 1080p as advertised.

Sound

The speakers are not as loud as your home theater. 

In fact if you’re into loud volumes then you would need to connect it to external speakers or a home theater.

On the other hand, there is no undue resonance even at the highest volume. 

In layman terms, the speakers don’t sound like TB patients when used at high volumes.

It has great input and output facilities unlike the Looka TV which has no headphone port for connecting external sound devices.


So yes you can connect your sound bar or whatever you need to get that roof-shaking volume you desire.

Therefore rating the sound alone, I’ll give it 4 out of 5 stars. It doesn’t get 5 stars because it could be louder. It’s not as loud as a car radio for example.


Energy Consumption

The Hisense 32 inch TV works well on small generators like my 3.5 kva gen. 

It doesn’t save power as well as the Looka TV or Haier TV but using it won’t run down your meter.

Its standby power consumption is just about 0.5w. 

This is parallel to the energy performance of similar brands like LG and Samsung.

It also has the tolerance of a Sony TV when it comes to low voltage. 

There is no loud beeping or flickering display when running on a low voltage.

Be that as it may, you are not advised to stress it with inappropriate power supply in order not to void the one-year warranty.

And no, it doesn’t come with a battery. That would be a gift considering the price.

So based on just the energy performance, I’ll give it 5 stars.

To ensure your TV is protected from power surges or lightning strikes, try and invest in a surge adaptor.


Is the Hisense 32 inch TV a Smart Tv?

What is a smart TV? A smart TV is one that can access the internet. This TV has no such capabilities. You can’t access social media or stream videos from your favorite networks because it wasn’t built to do so.

But you can access your phone through the use of the USB facility. 

However, I must point out that it takes time to load the contents of a memory card—a bit too much time in my opinion.

There is also no option for ejecting your memory card which shouldn’t be a problem. But some people prefer to eject before pulling out a memory card as this ensures the safety of the card.

It also does not have Miracast facilities. This means there is no way to access your phone wirelessly without the use of a USB cord.

So forget about viewing your phone apps or emails via the TV screen.
Therefore based on smart features, I’ll give it 2 out of 5 stars.


Portability/Durability

Like most flat screens, this TV is very light and easy to move around. It comes with a free wall bracket for hanging it on walls.

Its also durable. My kid brother once stoned it with a fully inflated football and there was no visible damage. In fact it worked without any glitches.

In addition, as stated earlier, it does well even on low voltage.

So based on portability and durability, it gets 5 out of 5 stars. I’m a bit biased because it came with a free wall bracket. A lot of brands are stingy these days like Uka Tv.

Comparing Hisense 32 Inch TV with Other Brands


The Hisense brand name is just as popular as Haier and LG. So when it comes to popularity, this is a popular product.

From the angle of display, it is a bit outclassed by products of similar brands like Samsung for example.

From the angle of sound, it competes favorably with LG and Haier TVs of the same size but Sony TVs around 32 inches are much louder.

From the angle of smart features, it doesn’t measure up at all. This clearly wasn’t meant to be a smart TV unlike Looka TV or Haier TVs of the same size.

From the angle of entry and exit, it competes favorably with any brand of the same size. 

You can easily connect your external sound device to its headphone port. Also it comes with 2 USB ports which is usual for 32 inch TVs.

So when compared with other brands, I’ll rate it a 3.9 out of 5 stars.

Is the Hisense TV a Good Fit For You?

If you’re into brand names, this is a product from a well-recognized brand so that should be a plus.

It is also relatively low budget since its going price is currently around forty five thousand naira. That is the price of most mid-level android phones these days.

It is just 32 inches so if you love to sit right in front of your TV screen then I suggest you consider a different product.

This is because you’ll enjoy the best viewing experience for this TV if you sit around 9 feet away from the set.

This TV is perfect for viewing centers, large parlous, provision stores and bedrooms.

  2. nice review, u av said it all and as confirmed from my end. But one issue am having is that my hisense 32inches TV stopped showing picture and no sound as well and what is now giving me great concern is taking it to Apapa or lekki customer service for repair.
