MINI MARVELS

While positively tiny in today's TV world, these compact, 24in sets could be just what you need

Regular What Hi-Fi? readers will have noticed that TVs tested within these pages are becoming ever bigger, driven by the idea of a lovely 4K or even 8K TV that will fully immerse you in movie nights, or provide the kind of big-screen gaming experience that feels truly next-level. Screens at up to a projector-bothering 75in or even 115in seem to be where the big brands are putting their time and tech-yet, as the models on test here prove, there is clearly still a market for a TV at the relatively diminutive size of 24in.

Maybe it's for a bedroom, desktop, kitchen, or even as a portable option you can move from room to room; whatever you have in mind, a TV at the size we are focusing on here may be just the thing.

The trio of 24in TVs we have rounded up over the following pages have been picked for their impressive picture quality at their size and useful feature-set. While a panel at this size will likely struggle to produce enough brightness to really do HDR justice, high dynamic range in its most basic form is nonetheless on the menu for two of the sets here, while the other, though only 'HD-ready', will still provide a bright, rich and detailed picture for the money.

Sound, obviously, will not project far from the tiny speakers packed into a set at this size, but that's not to say they won't do justice to the majority of use-cases a small TV will find itself in.

Of course, a TV at this size also represents a budget option, and these sets are extremely friendly on the wallet. So which should you choose? Luckily we're on hand to guide you, whatever it is you're looking for from a 24in set.
