The 7 Best 24 Inch TVs
Updated by · How we research
Small TVs for bedrooms, kitchens, dorms and RVs, compared by picture sharpness, smart system, inputs and sound. The Roku Select Series 24 is our top pick. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.
Nearly every TV this small shows a 720p picture. Sharper 1080p sets exist but are rare, and they mostly matter if you sit within arm's reach or plug in a computer. Despite the searches, no 24-inch OLED TV exists; OLED sets start at 42 inches. These little screens suit bedrooms, kitchens, dorm rooms, desks and RVs, where a bigger set won't fit.
Editor's Notes
October 23, 2026, by Ezvid Wiki Admin:
The Roku Select Series 24 is the new top pick. Roku now makes its own small TVs, and this one pairs with Bluetooth headphones and gets the same menus and updates as Roku's bigger sets. Every pick from the old list is gone: the Vizio D24F-G1, Insignia NS-24DF3, LG 24LM530S-PU, Westinghouse WR24HX, NT North Tech 24SMTV, Sceptre E246BV-F, Sansui S24 and SuperSonic SC-2411H have been discontinued or can't be found new.
The list is shorter now because new sets this size are scarce. Many that turn up in searches are refurbished units or 32-inch TVs. We left out the Insignia F20 Fire TV, the most-owned set at this size, only because it was out of stock at the store we link to; it's in Special Honors. If text and sharpness matter most, look at the LG 24LB7000PUA, one of the few 1080p sets at this size.
No major lab reviews TVs this small. RTINGS has reviewed a larger Roku Select set, so we leaned on that, the makers' spec sheets and port lists, owner reports on sound and setup, and the CPSC's recall and tip-over records.
January 13, 2021:
One may immediately notice that you won't see many of the premium name brands like Samsung and Sony here. That is because these companies generally stopped manufacturing 24-inch TVs some time ago. What we are left to choose from is mostly companies focused on producing budget models, and that is ok, since most people don't want to spend an arm and a leg on a TV this size anyways. When it comes to options that have a full 1080p display, your choices are even more limited, however you will get that on the Vizio D24F-G1, Sceptre E246BV-F, and SuperSonic SC-2411H, the first of which also boasts smart functionality. That being said, if you don't need 1080p, which many people don't because they won't be able to see the difference on something with such a small display anyways, you can consider the Insignia NS-24DF3, LG 24LM530S-PU, Westinghouse WR24HX, and NT North Tech 24SMTV, all of which have smart features and cost a bit less than the Vizio. In fact, the NT North Tech 24SMTV costs right around what you can expect to pay for a non-smart model.

Big TV companies aren't exactly pouring money into R&D for the 24-inch class, so most of the decent options to come out recently are by smaller companies like Polaroid and Insignia, though Vizio seems committed to providing some good features for consumers, including one set with full 1080p HD.
Special Honors
Insignia F20 Fire TV Insignia, Best Buy's house brand, makes the most-owned Fire TV set at this size, the F20 24-inch. It runs Fire TV with an Alexa voice remote and shows 720p. It was out of stock at the store we link to when we checked, but Best Buy still sells it, and it suits a home already built around Alexa. insigniaproducts.com
Anchor It The Consumer Product Safety Commission's Anchor It campaign shows how to strap a TV and the furniture under it to the wall, with free guides on the straps and brackets to use. A small TV on a tall dresser in a child's room is the kind of setup it warns about. anchorit.gov
720p, 1080p And The 24-Inch OLED Question
At a desk, with a computer plugged in, small text looks soft.
Almost every TV this size has a 1366 by 768 panel, sold as 720p HD. From a bed or a kitchen counter five or six feet away, that's hard to tell from 1080p on a screen this small. It shows when you sit close. At a desk, with a computer plugged in, small text looks soft.
The LG LB70 is a rare 24-inch set with a full 1920 by 1080 panel and a 120 Hz refresh rate, and PC Richard lists it with a one-year parts-and-labor warranty and two HDMI ports. It comes from LG's hospitality line, so a few setup menus are aimed at hotels. Sylvox's 12-volt RV sets are 1080p too. No TV this small has a native 4K panel, so a 4K label on a 24-inch listing would only mean it scales a 4K signal down.
People also search for a 24-inch OLED TV. There isn't one: OLED TVs start at 42 inches. The OLED panels near 24 inches are sold as gaming monitors, with no TV tuner and no smart TV system.
Smart System, Plain Screen Or Monitor
Every smart TV needs an account and an internet connection for its apps, and each system has a lean. Roku's menus are the simplest and the most widely used, and the Roku Select Series adds Bluetooth headphone pairing. Xumo, from Comcast and Charter, centers on free live channels. LG's webOS is polished, but at this size it comes on hotel-line sets. Fire TV sets, such as the Insignia F20, tie into Alexa.
Software on a cheap TV ages. A non-smart set plus a streaming stick avoids that: when the stick gets slow, you replace the stick, not the TV. A plain set also works with just an antenna and no Wi-Fi, and every set on this list has a built-in tuner for free over-the-air channels.
For a desk, a 24-inch computer monitor gives a sharper picture for the money but has no tuner, no remote and usually weak speakers. A TV works as a monitor over HDMI; RTINGS found good text clarity and low input lag on a larger Roku Select set. On a 720p set, small text still looks soft. Turn off overscan or use the PC picture mode so the edges of the desktop aren't cut off.
Sound, Mounting And Tip-Overs
Small TVs have small speakers. The spec sheet for onn's 24-inch set lists two 3-watt speakers, typical for this size, and thin, quiet sound is the most common gripe among owners of small sets. An optical audio output, on both Westinghouse smart sets, or Bluetooth, on the Roku Select and the Westinghouse Xumo set, lets you add a soundbar or headphones.
Most 24-inch TVs use a VESA 100 by 100 millimeter wall-mount pattern; Roku's Select Series uses 200 by 200. Check before you buy a bracket, and plan on buying the screws.
A light TV on a dresser can still fall. The CPSC counted 459 child deaths from tip-overs of TVs, furniture and appliances from 2000 through 2018, and most of those children were 5 or younger. Anchor the TV and the furniture, and keep the set pushed back on a low, sturdy base.
In an RV, a 12-volt set like the Sylvox runs straight from the house battery. A regular TV needs an inverter, which loses some power in the conversion, so check how much the TV draws first.
How we researched this
We compared 17 current and recent 24-inch TVs, read the makers' spec sheets, port lists and mounting charts for the 7 finalists, used RTINGS's review of a larger Roku Select set, analyzed owner feedback on sound, setup and remotes, and searched the CPSC's recall records for every brand. None of the brands has a recall covering a 24-inch TV.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a 24-inch OLED TV?
No. OLED TVs start at 42 inches. OLED panels near 24 inches are sold as gaming monitors, which have no TV tuner or smart TV system.
Is 720p good enough on a 24-inch TV?
For watching from five or six feet away, yes; the difference from 1080p is hard to see on a screen this small. If you sit at a desk or use it with a computer, 1080p makes text noticeably sharper.
Can I use a 24-inch TV as a computer monitor?
Yes, over HDMI, and some Westinghouse sets also have a VGA port. Turn off overscan or use the PC picture mode. A 720p TV shows softer text than a 1080p monitor of the same size.
Do I need Wi-Fi for a small TV?
Only for streaming apps. Every set on this list has a tuner for free antenna channels and works with HDMI devices without an internet connection.
How big is a 24-inch TV?
The screen measures about 23.6 inches corner to corner. With its stand, a typical set is about 21 inches wide and 14 to 15 inches tall.
Can I run a 24-inch TV in an RV?
Yes. A 12-volt set like the Sylvox RT24R3KGCA runs straight from the battery. A regular TV works through an inverter, but check how much power it draws first.
