If you are searching for a TV priced under Rs. 15,000, your primary choices will be limited to 32-inch LED LCD TVs. In this price range, the main focus is on competitive pricing, which means you may not find the most advanced display technology or extensive connectivity options. However, if you are willing to increase your budget by an additional Rs. 5,000, you can also consider options with larger 40-inch or 43-inch displays. If you are specifically concerned about image and text quality for work, we recommend opting for smart monitors rather than affordable TVs when using them as a monitor. Here are some of the best options that you can pick from for a TV priced under Rs. 15,000.

Panasonic has quietly been making solid televisions that don’t necessarily scream for attention, but deliver where it matters. The TH32MS660DX features a 32-inch HD-ready panel with support for HDR10. While you won’t get 4K crispness, HDR support is a welcome touch, bringing slightly better contrast to compatible content. What also sets this model apart is the inclusion of Google TV, which ensures a modern interface with personalised recommendations. Google Assistant voice control, Chromecast built-in, and support for multiple streaming apps round out the smart TV experience. Sound output is rated at 20W, and while it’s serviceable for casual viewing, a soundbar would elevate the audio experience.

Samsung is a name that carries weight in the television industry, and while the T4380 isn’t its flashiest offering, it does get the job done. This 32-inch HD-ready TV comes with Samsung’s PurColor technology, which slightly enhances color reproduction, making content appear a touch richer compared to other budget models. Smart features are handled by Samsung’s own Tizen OS, which includes access to apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Smart TV+ and YouTube. It’s a straightforward experience, but not as flexible as Google TV-based competitors. The 20W speakers support Dolby Audio.

LG’s LM56 series has been a staple in the budget segment, and this 32-inch variant sticks to a familiar formula. The display is an HD-ready IPS panel, which translates to wider viewing angles. WebOS runs the show here, offering a clean and responsive interface. Built-in support for OTT apps, screen mirroring, and LG’s ThinQ AI for voice commands add to the smart TV appeal. Sound output is once again 20W, and while LG touts DTS Virtual:X support, don’t expect deep bass or room-filling audio.

Xiaomi continues to shake up the budget TV market with aggressively priced offerings, and the 32-inch F Series TV is no exception. This model features an HD-ready display but stands out with its integration of Amazon’s Fire TV platform, offering a different flavor of smart functionality compared to Google TV. The interface is smooth, supports Alexa voice commands, and has quick access to Prime Video, Netflix, and YouTube. Xiaomi also claims a Vivid Picture Engine for vibrant color reproduction. With dual 20W speakers and Dolby Audio, sound output is decent but not extraordinary. If you’re looking for an affordable Fire TV experience, this is a compelling pick.

The surprise entry on this list, VW’s 32-inch Pro Series Smart QLED TV, is an anomaly in this price range. QLED technology is typically reserved for more premium models, but VW has managed to squeeze it into an entry-level offering. The QLED panel, combined with HDR10 support, promises a richer picture with deeper blacks and more vibrant colors compared to standard LED counterparts. While the 60Hz refresh rate is standard, features like ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) could give gamers a slight edge in responsiveness. The smart TV aspect is powered by Google TV, offering all the benefits of Google’s ecosystem, from voice commands to personalised recommendations.

While traditionally categorized as a smart monitor, the LG 27SR50F serves as both monitor and smart TV, making it a unique addition to this list. With a 27-inch Full HD IPS display, it offers superior sharpness compared to the HD-ready panels of most budget TVs. The software is webOS, which is LG’s TV OS and supports all popular streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video, while ThinQ Home Dashboard brings added smart functionality. Connectivity features include AirPlay 2, Screen Share, and Bluetooth, making it easy to cast content from various devices. Though it lacks a TV tuner, its versatile work and play approach should make sense to many consumers.
