Best 24-Inch TVs of 2026

At the bottom of this group's price range sits a 24-inch Roku set from Westinghouse, and on paper it gives up almost nothing: 720p at 60Hz, three HDMI inputs, Dolby Audio, AirPlay 2, a voice remote, and a matte screen rated at 220 nits. The Roku software inside is the same one in our top pick — same home screen, same remote layout, same account — so there's no interface penalty for saving the money.

The matte finish is why we point people here first when the TV is going somewhere bright. Our top pick's glossy panel shows the window behind you; this one doesn't, and on a kitchen counter or a sunroom shelf that matters more than the 30 nits it gives up. AirPlay 2 means an iPhone casts without a stick, and the three HDMI inputs match the Roku's. For a spare room, we take the matte screen over the extra brightness.

The mounts are where the two diverge. This one uses the common 100 x 100 VESA pattern, so a small bracket you already own will almost certainly fit, while the Roku wants 200 x 200. There's an optical audio port for a soundbar and a stand shallow enough for a narrow shelf. Same software, similar hardware, better behavior in daylight — that's the case for it.

The speakers are what you need to know about first: two 3-watt channels aimed at the floor, and the volume tops out early. If you plan to listen through the built-ins, this is the wrong set. It's also easy to work around, because there's an audio output on the back — a pair of powered speakers or a soundbar turns this into a genuinely good little TV for a bedroom or a workbench. We'd plan that purchase alongside the TV rather than after it.

What you get in exchange is a television that behaves like a television. No home screen, no account, no update prompt: plug in an antenna or a cable box, scan for channels, and it comes on to a channel. In a rental, a camper, or a guest room where the Wi-Fi password changes with the tenant, that's the whole point, and it's why we kept a non-smart set in a group that's otherwise all streaming.

The panel is 720p with a 178-degree viewing angle and a glossy finish, and the tuner is ATSC, so over-the-air channels arrive without a box. VGA and a headphone jack sit alongside the HDMI input, which is how a set like this ends up on a workbench doubling as a monitor. For camper duty, note that it wants a 12V inverter, and at 40 watts it's an easy load for a small one.

SANSUI puts LG's webOS Hub in this set instead of Roku, Fire TV, or SmartCast, and that single decision is the reason to look at it. You get a launcher built around apps rather than inputs, with Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max already there and no stick hanging off the back. If you've used an LG TV in the past few years, the layout will feel familiar within a minute.

The hardware has its own argument. Three HDMI and two USB ports is the most connectivity here, Bluetooth 5.2 pairs headphones or a speaker, and the 2 x 8-watt speakers with Dolby Atmos decoding are the most powerful built-ins in this group. The panel is 1366 x 768 at 200 nits with a 1200:1 contrast ratio — dimmer than our top pick's 250 nits, which we'd weigh if the TV sits opposite a window, but a VA panel with that contrast is the better match for a dark bedroom.

It's also the widest set here at 24.45 inches across, roughly three inches more than the Roku, so check the shelf gap rather than assuming a 24-inch class TV fits a 24-inch opening. Two USB ports and Bluetooth 5.2 at this size are what we keep coming back to: a streaming stick, a console, and a pair of headphones can all live here at once. One thing to settle first — the specs name a table mount and no VESA pattern, so confirm the bracket size with the seller if you're hanging it.

This is the most expensive set we kept, and the argument for it is casting. AirPlay 2 and Chromecast are built in, so a phone or tablet throws video to the screen without a stick, a launcher, or a second account. In a house full of iPhones, that's a better reason to spend more than any picture specification on the box.

The panel is 720p at 60Hz, DTS Virtual:X handles the built-in audio, and it's the heaviest set here at 7 pounds with a 6.2-inch-deep stand — worth knowing if it's going on a narrow shelf or a bracket rated for something lighter. There's also an Ethernet jack, which is the fix for the one room where Wi-Fi barely reaches; a wired set in a basement or garage beats a better router.

This is a 2021 design still selling above newer sets, so you're paying for the casting rather than the hardware. If nobody in the house owns an iPhone, the Roku does the same job with an extra HDMI input and a lower price. If the TV is going where phones are the remote, this is the smoothest version of that idea in this group.

Renewed is the first word on the box and the reason the price sits where it does: a returned set, checked and repackaged, covered for 90 days rather than the year a new one gets. That's the trade, stated plainly. For a garage, a workshop, or a kids' room where the TV is background, 90 days of coverage on a casting-capable set is a reasonable deal; for the main bedroom set, it isn't.

The hardware is more than the price suggests. AirPlay 2 and Google Cast are built in, Bluetooth 5.0 pairs headphones or a speaker, Wi-Fi 5 dual-band is on board, and DTS Virtual:X handles the audio processing. The Bluetooth is the unusual part at this end of the group — paired earbuds make a loud room watchable without waking anyone, the same trick our top pick uses.

Our advice with any renewed set is to test it inside the first week: run it a couple of evenings, check the panel for bright or dead spots, make sure both speakers work, and confirm the stand screws and remote are in the box. Do that and this is one of the cheapest ways here to get casting and Bluetooth in the same small TV, which for a workshop or a spare room is a trade worth making.
