Topic has been discussed many times ... a look in the TV section will yield many views which amount to: 32" and 3D = bad idea.

You cannot enjoy 3D at such small sizes. Even 40~42" is not good enough. 50" is just about OK. 60"+ is the charm.

Stick to 720p LCD at these sizes. 1080p LED will be 1.5 times more expensive (at the very least) and will not bring any great joy. At 32" size and assuming a viewing distance of 7-8 feet (standard distance), 720p or 1080p make no difference. Visit showrooms, do a demo and check for yourself. So a 720p 32" LCD costing around 25k is what you should buy. The high end 32" LEDs will have better blacks, 3D, smart TV, better motion processing, etc. will set you back by nearly 50k. Not worth, in my frank opinion because at that price you can get a 50" plasma.

Regarding your queries:

1. Most TVs playback most media formats. You must do a feature check at the specs.
2. Smart TV is useless.
3. As stated above, forget 3D at 32". If you want 3D, look at larger size TV. Active 3D has more depth control while passive 3D is more comfortable to the eyes.

get atleast a 40 inch or 50 inch...as from 26 inch to 32 inch you will surely feel the upgrade bug very soon.invest such so that you can enjoyt at least 5 years...
if budget is tight..wait and get a 40 minimum..32 is of no use as you are already haviung 26 inch....
and above suggested perfectly about other points...

to me 60 inch even not good for 3d...its simple...3d is good if our co mplete vision enjoys the 3d effects.now our eyes do have a good enough covering angle..i think 120 deg...now acording the tv to seat distance...just calculate the screen size....it will be huge.we enjoy at cinemas the 3d as its real huge.....

qanyway best is demo..if you are satisfied with 32 inch 3d..why not buy
