9 Best Analog TVs in 2026

When you just want to plug in an antenna and watch local news without a smart TV interface, the simple analog TV is still the most direct solution. But most TVs sold today are smart TVs, loaded with apps and ads. The Best Analog TVs in 2026 are the ones that keep it simple: they accept HDMI sticks, play DVDs, or even just rely on a built-in digital tuner for over-the-air broadcasts. Whether you need a set for the garage, the guest room, or the RV, this roundup covers nine different ways to get a straightforward television experience.

The picks range from a full-sized 32-inch household mainstay to a 10-inch portable that fits in a backpack, plus two converter boxes that can bring an old CRT back to life. There are also options with built-in DVD players for those who still own physical discs, and a smart TV for readers who want streaming built in without a separate stick.

TL;DR: The Westinghouse 32 Inch is the one most people should buy: a roomy 720p screen with no smart TV clutter. The Westinghouse 24-inch with DVD player is the best all-in-one for bedrooms and campers. The Tyler TTV706 is the most portable, with a 10-inch screen and built-in tuner. And the ZJBOX converter box is the simplest way to turn an old analog set into a digital TV.

How we picked

• Screen size and resolution: Bigger isn't always better. For a garage or workshop, 32 inches works. For a cramped kitchen, 12 to 14 inches keeps the counter clear. We looked for at least 720p HD at any size. 1080p earns bonus points.
• Tuner type: A built-in ATSC digital tuner means you can plug in an antenna and watch local channels immediately. Some sets omit the tuner, so we checked for that. Converter boxes fill the gap for older analog TVs.
• Power options and portability: For RV and camping use, a TV that runs on 12V DC is a huge advantage. We prioritized sets that include a DC input or are lightweight enough to move around.
• Connectivity: HDMI and USB are table stakes. Extra ports like VGA, composite video, or optical audio add flexibility for game consoles, PCs, and soundbars. SD card slots are rare but welcome.
• Special features: A built-in DVD player saves space and cabling. USB recording on a converter box lets you capture shows without a DVR subscription. Voice remotes and smart platforms are useful but optional for a dedicated analog setup.

1. Westinghouse 32 Inch: Best Overall

Pros:

• 32-inch 720p HD screen with progressive scan
• Multiple inputs: HDMI, USB, VGA, composite
• Compatible with any streaming stick or game console
• V-chip parental controls
• Slim profile for wall mounting

Cons:

• Only 720p, not 1080p or 4K
• No built-in smart platform (you will need an external device)
• Speakers are basic, no Dolby support

Best for: Anyone who wants a straightforward, no-nonsense TV for a bedroom, office, or guest room that works with any streaming stick.

The Westinghouse 32 Inch is the biggest non-smart TV in this roundup, and that alone makes it the most versatile. At 720p, it is sharp enough for casual viewing from a sofa or desk. What sets it apart is the input selection: HDMI, USB, VGA, and composite. The panel uses progressive scan to reduce flicker, so fast motion like sports or action movies looks smoother than on older 720p sets.

The lack of a smart platform is a deliberate choice. If you want Netflix, just plug in a Fire Stick or Roku. If you want live TV, connect an antenna. The TV itself does not get in the way with ads or slow menus. The V-chip is a nice addition for parents who want to lock content. The only real compromise is the speaker quality (thin, but typical for this class) and the 720p resolution, which is fine for a 32-inch screen but not for sitting close. For a garage, kids' room, or spare bedroom, this is the most straightforward recommendation.

2. Westinghouse 24 Inch: Best Small Non-Smart

Pros:

• Compact size fits tight spaces
• Same 720p HD panel as the 32-inch sibling
• HDMI, USB, VGA inputs
• Parental controls
• Lightweight at under 5 lbs

Cons:

• 720p resolution feels dated on a smaller screen
• Sound is basic, no Dolby

Best for: A kitchen counter, dorm room, or desk where space is tight but you want a real TV experience.

The Westinghouse 24 Inch is essentially the same TV as the 32-inch but with a smaller screen. It shares the same 720p HD panel, the same V-chip, and the same input layout. The dimensions (21.6 inches wide, 14.5 inches tall) mean it fits on a standard Ikea desk or kitchen shelf without overhang. Because it is only 24 inches, the 720p resolution looks fine from a few feet away; you will not notice pixel grid until you are really close.

One question we get is whether this TV has a built-in digital tuner. Yes, it does. The feature list explicitly says you can connect an antenna for free over-the-air broadcasts. So you can use it as a standalone TV without any external box. That is not true for all small sets. The Westinghouse 24 Inch keeps the option open. The downside is the sound. The built-in speakers are adequate for news and talk shows, but for music or action, you will want an external speaker or soundbar. For a small bedroom or office, this is a solid, simple pick.

3. Westinghouse 24 Inch TV with DVD Player: Best DVD Combo

Pros:

• Integrated DVD player saves space and cables
• 720p HD display good for standard DVDs
• HDMI and USB inputs for streaming sticks
• V-chip parental control
• Lightweight at 4.4 lbs

Cons:

• DVD player adds depth to the chassis
• No smart platform; requires external device for streaming
• 720p upscales DVDs adequately, but not great for Blu-ray

Best for: RV owners, dorm students, and families who still have a DVD collection and want a single device.

The Westinghouse 24 Inch TV with DVD Player built in is exactly what the name suggests: a 24-inch HD TV with a slot-loading DVD mechanism integrated into the bezel. This is a rare breed in 2026, but for certain situations it is perfect. If you are equipping a camper or a kids' room where you do not want a separate DVD player, the combo keeps everything tidy. The TV itself is the same 720p panel as the other Westinghouse 24-inch sets, so picture quality is identical. The DVD player reads standard discs and likely supports CD and DVD-R formats.

The trade-off is thickness. Because of the disc drive, the TV is deeper than the plain 24-inch model. It does not look as sleek on a wall mount, but for a shelf or RV table, that does not matter. The TV still has HDMI and USB inputs, so you can plug in a Roku or Fire Stick for streaming. The DVD player is a convenience, not a limitation. If you do not need DVDs, get the simpler Westinghouse 24 Inch without the drive. If you do, this combo is the most space-efficient option on the list.

4. Jexiop 14 Inch LED HD TV: Best for RV and 12V Power

Pros:

• 14-inch HD screen (1080p capable)
• 12V DC input for direct RV battery connection
• Built-in ATSC digital tuner
• HDMI, USB, AV inputs
• VESA mount compatible

Cons:

• Small screen for more than one viewer
• No built-in rechargeable battery (requires external power)
• Menu and interface are basic

Best for: RV owners, truckers, and anyone who needs a TV that runs on 12V without an inverter.

Check current price on Amazon →

The Jexiop 14 Inch is built with mobile living in mind. Its most important feature is the 12V DC power input, which means you can plug it directly into your RV's cigarette lighter socket or a portable power station without needing a heavy inverter. The screen is 14 inches diagonal with an HD LED panel that can display 1080p signals (though the native resolution may be lower, the HDMI input accepts 1080p). The built-in ATSC tuner grabs over-the-air channels when you connect an antenna, so you can watch local news wherever you park.

Connectivity is generous for its size: one HDMI, one USB, plus an AV input for older devices. The TV also supports VESA mounting, so you can install it on an RV wall or a swing arm. The speakers are small and get loud enough for a small cabin, but do not expect room-filling sound. The main weakness is the interface: it is a basic OSD, not a smart platform. But for an RV TV where you probably have a separate streaming device or just use the tuner, that is fine. If you need a dedicated camping TV that can also serve as a monitor, the Jexiop is a strong contender.

5. Tyler TTV706 10 Inch Portable TV: Best Ultra-Portable

Pros:

• 10-inch 1080p LCD screen
• Detachable antennas (three included)
• Built-in digital tuner and FM radio
• Runs on AC or DC power (includes both adapters)
• Weighs only 1.5 lbs

Cons:

• Screen is tiny for group viewing
• No HDMI ARC or optical audio
• Build feels plasticky

Best for: Solo travelers, campers, and tailgaters who want a TV that fits in a backpack.

Check current price on Amazon →

The Tyler TTV706 is the most portable TV in this roundup, and one of the few that still includes a telescoping antenna (actually three: a mini whip and two detachable ones). The 10-inch screen is small, but the 1080p resolution means it is actually quite sharp for its size. The built-in digital tuner picks up ATSC signals, and there is even an FM radio mode, making this a full entertainment device for remote spots. Inputs include HDMI and USB for media playback, plus RCA AV for older gear.

The Tyler stands out because it includes both an AC adapter and a DC car adapter out of the box. That means you can use it at a campsite with a power station or in the car on a road trip. The picture quality is decent for a small LCD, though viewing angles are limited. The sound is mono and tinny, but a headphone jack lets you use earbuds. If you are serious about having a TV on the trail or at the beach, this is the one that fits in a daypack.

6. Feihe 12 Inch Small TV: Best for Kitchen Counter

Pros:

• Compact 12-inch form factor
• Built-in ATSC tuner for free TV
• HDMI, AV, and USB inputs
• Includes an antenna
• VESA mountable

Cons:

• Screen resolution is not specified (likely 720p or lower)
• No 12V DC input (requires AC power)
• No smart features

Best for: A dedicated kitchen TV, workbench, or portable use where wall power is available.

Check current price on Amazon →

The Feihe 12 Inch Small TV occupies the middle ground between the 10-inch Tyler and the 14-inch Jexiop. It is small enough to sit on a kitchen counter next to the coffee maker, but large enough to actually see from a stool. The built-in ATSC tuner works with an included antenna, so you get free channels out of the box. Inputs include HDMI, USB, and AV, so a Roku or game console can be added.

We notice the Feihe lacks a 12V DC input, which limits its use in RVs unless you have an inverter. The resolution is not clearly stated, but based on the 12-inch size, it is likely 720p or even 768p. The picture is fine for cooking shows or news, but do not expect sharp text for use as a monitor. The speakers are small but adequate for a kitchen environment. If you want a simple TV for a spot where you do not want to install a full-sized set, the Feihe is a reasonable choice. Just be aware of the power limitation.

7. Westinghouse 24-inch Smart TV (Xumo): Best for Streaming Without a Stick

Pros:

• Built-in Xumo smart platform with 350+ free channels
• Voice remote with universal search
• Dolby Atmos support (via built-in speakers)
• Apple AirPlay, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi
• 3 HDMI ports

Cons:

• Smart TV interface means slower startup and ads
• HD resolution (likely 720p, not 1080p)
• Smaller screen size for a smart TV

Best for: Cord-cutters who want all streaming apps built in without an extra device.

Check current price on Amazon →

The Westinghouse 24-inch Smart TV is the only smart TV in this roundup, and it uses the Xumo platform (a free, ad-supported streaming service). This is not a standard analog TV; it is a connected TV with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. But for readers who want a simple all-in-one solution for a small room, it is worth considering. The Xumo platform offers apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and a free tier with 350+ live channels. The voice remote works well for search across apps.

Picture quality is typical for a small Westinghouse: decent contrast, good enough for casual viewing. Dolby Atmos is a nice addition for a TV this size, though the built-in speakers cannot fully deliver the effect. You will still get better sound from a soundbar. The three HDMI ports are generous. The downside is that smart TVs tend to be slower to start and have interfaces with ads. If you prefer a pure hardware experience, the non-smart Westinghouse 24-inch is better. But if you hate plugging in a separate stick, this one does it all.

8. ZJBOX Digital TV Converter Box: Best for Reviving an Analog TV

Pros:

• Converts digital ATSC signals to analog output
• 1080p output resolution
• USB recording and playback
• Timer setting for scheduled recording
• Includes HDMI and composite cables

Cons:

• Requires external antenna (not included)
• No built-in storage; needs USB drive
• Firmware updates require contacting seller

Best for: Owners of older analog CRT TVs who want to watch digital over-the-air channels.

Check current price on Amazon →

The ZJBOX converter box is the most popular converter in its category, and for good reason. It takes the free digital broadcasts from your antenna and converts them so an old analog TV can display them. Output resolution goes up to 1080p over HDMI, or you can use the composite video for older sets. The box also functions as a media player: plug in a USB drive (up to 32GB flash or 4TB external HDD formatted to FAT32) and you can watch movies, listen to music, or record live TV.

Recording is the standout feature. With the timer setting, you can schedule the box to record a show onto the USB drive while you are away. Playback later is straightforward. The interface is basic, with a remote control that covers all functions. One catch: the box is offline, so firmware updates are rare. If you need to update, you have to contact the seller. Also, you must supply your own antenna. But as a way to keep a vintage TV alive or set up a simple bedroom TV with an old monitor, the ZJBOX is effective and reliable.

9. iView 3300STB ATSC Converter Box: Best with ClearQAM and Recording

Pros:

• Works with over-the-air ATSC and ClearQAM (unscrambled cable)
• USB recording and media playback
• Built-in digital clock display
• Supports up to 4TB external drive
• Compact size (1.75" x 3.75" x 6")

Cons:

• Initial setup can be confusing for some
• Firmware update needed for best performance (contact support)
• Region locked to USA, Canada, Mexico

Best for: Users who also want to receive unscrambled basic cable channels via ClearQAM in addition to over-the-air.

Check current price on Amazon →

The iView 3300STB is a direct competitor to the ZJBOX. It does the same ATSC-to-analog conversion, but adds ClearQAM support, which means it can decode unscrambled digital cable channels if you connect it directly to a cable outlet. That makes it more versatile for apartments where basic cable is included. It also has a built-in clock display on the front panel, which is a nice touch for a bedside setup.

Recording works via USB, and the box supports drives up to 4TB. The media player handles common formats (MP4, AVI, MKV, etc.). iView notes that a new firmware update is available to resolve issues; you will need to contact customer support to get it. The setup process is a bit more involved than the ZJBOX, but once it is set up, it is stable. The remote is basic but functional. If you want the option to receive basic cable without a set-top box, the iView is the better choice over the ZJBOX. For strictly over-the-air use, either will work.

Buyer's guide: how to choose the best analog TV

When you are looking for a television that does not force you into a smart ecosystem, the choices have narrowed in 2026. But there are still good options, especially if you know what to prioritize. Here are the factors that matter most.

Screen size and where it goes

The first question to answer is where the TV will live. A 32-inch set is fine for a family room or garage. A 24-inch works well on a dresser or desk. If you are mounting it in an RV or taking it camping, 10 to 14 inches keeps things manageable. Bigger is not always better: a 10-inch screen is perfect for one person at close range but unwatchable from across a room. Measure your space before deciding.

Tuner: ATSC digital vs. analog only

In 2026, all TVs sold in the US must have an ATSC tuner to receive digital over-the-air broadcasts. But some TVs (especially ultra-portable ones) might omit it to save cost. Check the specs for "ATSC tuner" or "built-in digital tuner". Converter boxes can add that capability to older monitors or analog TVs, but add a box and remote. If you want the simplest setup, get a TV with a built-in tuner.

Power: AC, DC, or both

For stationary use, any TV works. For RVs, campers, or tailgating, a TV that runs on 12V DC is a game-changer. The Jexiop 14-inch and the Tyler 10-inch both have DC inputs. The Westinghouse sets require an inverter for 12V use (the features say "12V inverter required"). Portable TV models may include both AC and DC adapters. If you plan to use the TV off-grid, prioritize DC compatibility.

Connectivity

HDMI is essential for connecting a streaming stick, game console, or laptop. USB allows media playback from a flash drive. Some older TVs include VGA for PC use, which is rare but useful. For audio, consider whether the TV has a headphone jack or digital optical output if you want to connect external speakers. Multiple HDMI ports (2 or 3) are better than one.

Special features

Built-in DVD player, recording via USB, FM radio, or smart platform are extras that can make a TV more convenient. A DVD combo saves space but adds depth. A converter box with recording lets you DVR shows without a subscription. Decide which features matter for your use case before narrowing down.

Frequently asked questions

Do analog TVs still work in 2026?

Yes, but with a caveat. In 2009, the US switched to digital broadcasting, so old analog-only TVs (pre-2009) cannot receive over-the-air signals without a digital converter box. However, many new "analog TVs" sold today actually include a digital ATSC tuner. They are called analog TVs to distinguish them from smart TVs. So a new analog TV from 2026 will work with an antenna.

Can I watch Netflix on an analog TV?

Yes, if the TV has an HDMI input. You can plug in a streaming device like a Fire Stick, Roku, or Apple TV. Many analog TVs have HDMI ports, so you can stream anything. Some analog TVs are also HDMI-CEC compatible, so the remote may control basic functions of the streaming stick.

What is a digital converter box and do I need one?

A digital converter box is a small device that converts digital over-the-air broadcasts into an analog signal that older TVs can display. If you have a vintage TV from the 1990s or an analog monitor with composite input, you need a converter box to watch modern broadcasts. Newer flat-screen TVs that lack a tuner (often called monitors) also need a converter box.

How do I record shows on an analog TV?

Analog TVs themselves cannot record. But if you use a converter box that has USB recording capability, like the ZJBOX or iView, you can plug in a flash drive or external hard drive and schedule recordings. The box will record the digital signal directly to the drive. Playback is handled through the box's media player.

Are portable TVs any good for camping?

Portable TVs with built-in digital tuners and 12V DC power are excellent for camping. They pick up local channels if you have an antenna and enough signal. For remote areas with no reception, you can use them with a streaming stick and a mobile hotspot. The small screen size is fine for a tent or RV table.

Can I use a 24-inch analog TV as a computer monitor?

Yes, many analog TVs have a VGA input or HDMI that works with a computer. The 720p resolution is adequate for basic productivity, web browsing, and video. For detailed graphic work, a dedicated monitor would be better. The Westinghouse 24-inch models explicitly list VGA and HDMI for PC use.

What is the difference between a smart TV and an analog TV?

A smart TV has built-in internet connectivity and apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu. An analog TV (often called "non-smart") has only a tuner and inputs. You must connect an external device to stream content. Analog TVs are simpler, start faster, and have no ads or tracking. Smart
