What you need to bear in mind is that there really is little or no point having a 32" 4k resolution screen.

It's only when you get to larger screen sizes such as 50" / 65" / 80" / 103" / Edge Blended projection / Large Video walls and LED walls that 4k resolution comes in to play and really does add a noticeable difference.

I've just recently (as in the last few weeks) realized that I will be in the market for a new tv soon.  Up until now, I hadn't even bothered thinking too much about 4k as a practical thing, but now I'm thinking....hmmmm.

So let's split the difference between the 32" and 50" sizes you mentioned above.   Here's a Vizio 43" for $600.

A comparable Vizio 42" 1080p set is only $150 less.

I'm not being my usual snarky self, but asking honestly - wouldn't it make sense at such a small price difference to go with the 4k set?

 I would go to a show room and see how you feel about it. But don't be afraid to ask them to show you a normal blu ray on a 4k set. Often they have these 4K CGI demo reels which is really not what you are going to be watching.

If you want my advice I would go for a OLED full HD set if your size that suits your space is in the 40's Inches range. And with the left over cash get a nice speaker system to go with it even if it's only a 2:1 system you will be really happy.
