Recommendation on Good looking 32 inch monitor with low power use
Needs: speakers, 32 inch size or close, low power use like 30 watts ideal (on solar power)
Wants: would be nice to plug usb with movies in and watch movies, rca plugs

Will consider 1080p or higher, most important is gorgeous screen and low power use

I think the only monitor fits the description are either tvs or samsungs smart monitor which have a terrible quality.

however low power monitors with excellent picture quality exist in the 13-15" segment. you could buy an amoled which has speakers but can't play movies by itself

Yeah I seriously doubt you can find something with so low consumption at 32".

1440p is good for 32in
similar ppi/dpi to a 24in 1080p panel (92 pixels/inch)

if is high refresh rate, make sure its supports gsync/freesync

get a tv for tv things
or use the pc to watch videos off usb

monitors do not have composite or component inputs anymore

power wont be an issue, most are under 40w, if it has the gsync module, it will be around 15w more

especially on solar power. we don't know yet how much power those panels provide. at my place we have a bunch installed, so that I can run everything off of solar power but if I had to guess, he doesn't have that kind of luxury, so a portable oled monitor is best ( requires only 5-15W depending on hdr )
already have tablet so not looking for portable screen
winter time power production is sub 50 watts, summer make 1.5 kw

thats why want 30 watts or lower

That should be possible with a 24" IPS display, but with a 32"? I seriously doubt there is something decent out there.

if it's the same ppi as 1080p I wouldn't consider it good. Beyond 27 inch 1440p is meh. I'd be going 4k at this size.
i decided on samsung 1080 p 32 inch tv
35 watts plys it has rca plugs for playstation and plays movies off usb

is it an oled tablet?

here are few I found:
- gigabyte 27q x ( 27" / 1440p / 240 hz )
- msi optix mag274 qd ( 27" / 1440p / 165hz )
- GIGABYTE M32U, 31.5" ( 4k / 144hz )
- ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS, 27" ( 1440p / 180hz )

the problem is that most of these have no speakers and can easily draw more than 30W when enabling hdr or higher brightness.
that's why I recommended the oled portable screens. higher pixel density, better picture quality, same brightness, higher contrast, better pixel response time, has speakers, requires only 15W of power.
its samsung s7 fe non oled, works fine
also have s6 lite

ppi is pixel density
too high and till look like a phone, cant identify any individual pixels, a black line on white would be invisible

27in 4k, would look the same as a 14-15 laptop with 1080p display
at 4k aim for 40+in, so its more like a 20in 1080p display pixel sizes

if anyone curious tv uses
40 watts natural picture mode
31 watts in standard mode
18 watts in power save mode

so about 2 lightbulbs equivalent
