Question

ive got 2 32 inch tellys both measure around 30 inch diag across the screen so why atre they advertised as 32 inch

Answer 1

They don't... what make are they Sagoo and Dinkfo?

Answer 2

because tvs are 32" class not 32". which means their measurements are closest to 32". there are a standard amount of tvs dimensions like 27, 32, 36, 40 etc. and all it has to do is be closest to that dimension to be able to be labeled as such
