If you don’t quite have the space for a 32″ TV, the next best option may be Samsung’s 28″ UN28H4000. Its advanced LED backlight delivers superior picture contrast, and you’ll be impressed by this model’s wide, accurate color palette. The picture is big enough to hold your attention, but the slim panel depth and skinny bezel minimize its physical presence. This TV is incredibly energy-efficient, too.
