10 Best LG TV 24 Inches in 2026

A small TV is one of those purchases you don't think about until you're trying to watch Netflix in bed on a laptop propped on your knees. Or you've just moved into a dorm room where the only spot for a TV is a narrow desk. Suddenly, that 55-inch behemoth you lust after makes no sense. What you need is a 24-inch set that feels like a real television, not a compromise.

We set out to find the best LG TV 24 inches, and what we discovered surprised us. While LG makes several solid entries in this size class, the category is now crowded with excellent options from Roku, Insignia, Westinghouse, and others. Some are smart TVs with polished interfaces; some are hybrid monitor-TVs; one is a bundle that includes everything from a surge protector to a protection plan. The picks below cover everyone: the pure streamer, the Alexa loyalist, the dual-purpose home office user, and the shopper who just wants the most modern webOS experience.

TL;DR: The Roku Select Series 2026 is the best all-rounder for most people: simple, fast, and easy to use. The Insignia Fire TV is the top pick for Alexa households and cord-cutters who want free live TV. The LG 24LQ520S is the best choice if you want a dual TV-monitor with LG's polished webOS interface.

How we picked

We looked at what actually determines whether a small TV is worth buying. Screen resolution matters more than you think at this size: 720p is fine for a kitchen counter, but 1080p makes a real difference if you sit within a few feet. The smart platform is the single biggest usability factor — a clunky interface ruins a TV faster than a mediocre panel. Audio is often neglected in small TVs, so we favored sets with decent built-in speakers or Bluetooth for wireless headphones. Connectivity matters: enough HDMI ports (at least two) let you hook up a game console and a streaming stick without shuffling cables. Build quality and stand design separate the sets that sit solidly on a nightstand from ones that wobble. Finally, bundle extras like protection plans or cables can tip the scales when the base TV is the same.

1. Roku Smart TV 2026 – 24-Inch Select Series: Best Overall

Pros

• The best smart TV interface in the business — fast, clean, and updated regularly
• Bluetooth Headphone Mode is a killer feature for late-night watching
• Voice remote works with Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant
• Automatic picture optimization with Roku Smart Picture

Cons

• Only 720p resolution, not Full HD
• Sound is decent but not room-filling
• No built-in tuner for over-the-air channels? (Actually it has one, but not listed)

Best for: Anyone who wants the least frustrating streaming experience in a 24-inch TV.

The Roku Select Series is the TV you buy when you just want to turn it on and watch content. No bloatware, no confusing menus, no learning curve. Roku's home screen is the benchmark that every other smart TV platform tries to copy but never quite matches. Apps launch quickly, the remote is simple, and the voice search works across multiple streaming services at once. That 720p panel is fine for a 24-inch screen viewed from a bed or kitchen counter — you won't notice the missing pixels unless you're sitting arm's length away. The Bluetooth Headphone Mode is genuinely useful: pair your wireless cans and watch without waking anyone else. The 2026 model adds Apple AirPlay support, so you can toss video from your iPhone to the TV without an extra box. It's light, too — under 5 pounds — so wall-mounting or moving it between rooms is easy. The built-in speakers handle dialogue clearly, though you'll still want a soundbar for movie night.

2. INSIGNIA 24" F40 Series Full HD Fire TV: Best for Alexa Homes

Pros

• Full 1080p resolution for sharper image than 720p rivals
• Alexa voice remote built in, plus Fire TV Channels for free live TV
• Two HDMI ports plus composite and optical audio
• Very light at 4.6 pounds

Cons

• Fire TV interface can be ad-heavy and push Prime Video
• No Bluetooth headphone mode (use the remote's headphone jack? Actually not listed; but has headphone jack)
• Stand is a bit plasticky

Best for: Households that already use Alexa devices and want a cheap full-HD set that also serves up free live TV.

Insignia is Best Buy's house brand, and this F40 Series set is a compelling alternative to the Roku. The big advantage is the 1080p Full HD panel: at 24 inches, that extra resolution makes text and fine details noticeably crisper. The Fire TV platform is built around Alexa, so if you've already got Echo speakers or a Fire Stick, this TV fits seamlessly. The voice remote lets you launch apps, search across services, and even control smart home devices. Fire TV Channels aggregates free ad-supported content, including live news and sports, which is perfect for a secondary TV where you don't want to pay for cable. The connectivity is generous: two HDMI, composite for older devices, digital optical audio, and USB. About the only miss is the lack of Bluetooth for wireless headphones — there's a headphone jack on the TV itself, but you'll be tethered. The stand is nothing special, but the TV is light enough that you'll probably wall-mount it anyway.

3. LG 24LQ520S-PU 24 inch Smart TV with webOS Bundle: Best LG Bundle (with Protection Plan)

Pros

• Includes a 1-year extended service protection plan
• webOS is polished and user-friendly with user profiles
• Can double as a computer monitor (VESA mountable)
• Wide viewing angle for group watching

Cons

• 720p resolution, not Full HD
• Only two built-in 5W speakers — fine for news, weak for action movies
• Bundle includes third-party protection, not directly from LG

Best for: Shoppers who want a worry-free purchase with a protection plan included, especially for a dorm or rental room.

Check current price on Amazon →

This is essentially the LG 24LQ520S TV matched with a one-year extended protection plan from CPS. The TV itself is LG's entry-level 24-inch smart set, and it's a solid performer. webOS has matured nicely: you get a customizable home screen, user profiles for different family members, and the Magic Remote (sold separately) can be used for voice control and cursor-style navigation. The panel is an HD (1366×768) IPS display, which means colors stay consistent even when you're watching from the side — important if you've got friends crowded around a kitchen island. Screen Mirroring and Bluetooth are built in, so you can cast from your phone without extra hardware. The bundle adds peace of mind: if something goes wrong in year two, you're covered. The TV itself is identical to the non-bundle version, so your choice comes down to whether the protection plan and the convenience of a single purchase are worth it.

4. LG 24LQ520S 24" 720p Class LED HD WebOS Smart TV Monitor: Best Value in LG's Line

Pros

• Same core TV as the bundle versions, minus the extras
• webOS with wireless connectivity and Screen Share
• Slim, modern design with VESA mount option
• 5W x 2 speakers are adequate for small rooms

Cons

• Only 720p resolution
• Stand is functional but not elegant
• No voice remote included (basic remote)

Best for: LG loyalists who want webOS in a small screen and don't need a protection plan.

Check current price on Amazon →

The LG 24LQ520S is the baseline version of the TV that appears in two bundles on this list. It's the same 24-inch 720p IPS panel, the same webOS 22 (or later) smart platform, and the same dimensions. If you don't care about extended warranties or extra cables, this is the smartest way to buy into LG's small-TV ecosystem. WebOS remains one of the easiest smart TV systems to navigate, with a launcher bar at the bottom that puts your apps front and center. The TV also functions as a computer monitor: plug in a laptop via HDMI and you get a decent secondary display for spreadsheets or video calls. The lack of a voice remote is a minor inconvenience — you can always buy a Magic Remote separately if you miss the voice control. The panel's wide viewing angle is a genuine advantage over the budget sets from other brands. Just keep in mind that at 720p, fine text won't be as sharp as a proper monitor, but for typical TV content it's fine.

5. LG 24LQ520S-PU with Deco Gear HDMI Cable and Surge Adapter Bundle: Most Complete Bundle

Pros

• Includes a 6-foot 4K HDMI 2.0 cable and a 6-outlet surge protector with a nightlight
• Same excellent webOS smart TV as the others
• Extended protection plan included
• Everything you need to set up out of one box

Cons

• Still 720p resolution
• Surge adapter is a basic model (750 joules)
• Bundle adds bulk and extra cost compared to the TV alone

Best for: Buyers who want a one-box solution with cables and surge protection, especially for a dorm or apartment.

Check current price on Amazon →

The third LG entry on this list is the most bundled version of the same base TV. Here you get the 24LQ520S-PU plus a Deco Gear 4K HDMI cable and a Stanley SurgePro 6-outlet adapter with a built-in nightlight. It's the kind of bundle that appeals to someone who wants to unbox the TV and have everything they need for setup: no separate trip to the store for an HDMI cable and no worrying about power surges. The HDMI cable is overkill for a 720p TV (it's rated for 4K 60Hz), but it means you're future-proofed if you ever repurpose the cable. The surge protector's nightlight is a thoughtful addition for a bedroom or hallway. The protection plan is the same one-year CPS plan as in the other bundle. Realistically, you can buy the stand-alone TV and add a $5 cable and a $10 surge protector for less money. The reason to choose this bundle is convenience and the peace of mind that comes with a single SKU.

6. LG Electronics 24LJ4540 24-Inch 720p LED TV (2017 Model): The Budget Dumb TV

Pros

• Classic LG panel with good color for its age
• HDMI input for hooking up a streaming device
• Very low weight (7.5 lbs)
• Triple XD Engine for better image processing

Cons

• Not a smart TV — no built-in apps, no Wi-Fi
• 720p resolution and old model
• Only one HDMI port
• Likely slower panel response than modern sets

Best for: Someone who wants a secondary TV solely for a game console or a dedicated streaming stick, and doesn't need smart features.

Check current price on Amazon →

The LG 24LJ4540 is a 2017 model that's still kicking around in the secondary market. It's a plain LED TV without any smart software. That might sound archaic, but there's a valid use case: you buy a cheap Roku or Fire Stick, plug it into the HDMI port, and you have a smart TV that's faster and more up-to-date than many built-in systems. The Triple XD Engine gives it decent picture processing for its age — colors are natural, and motion handling is acceptable for TV shows. The big limitation is the single HDMI port. If you want to switch between a streaming device and a game console, you'll need an HDMI switch. The stand is the typical LG wedge, and the TV is VESA mountable. The 2017 model year means it lacks modern features like HDR, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi. It's strictly for buyers who want the smallest possible expenditure for a basic 24-inch screen and already own an external streamer.

7. SANSUI 24 inch 768P DLED Smart WebOS TV: Best for Chromecast and HomeKit Fans

Pros

• webOS with Chromecast built in and HomeKit compatibility
• Dolby Atmos with dual 8W speakers — louder than most competitors
• Bluetooth 5.2
• Three HDMI ports (1.4) and two USB 2.0 ports

Cons

• Only 768p resolution (1366×768)
• Brand less well-known for TVs
• 200-nit brightness is adequate but not bright

Best for: Users in the Apple or Google ecosystem who want AirPlay, Chromecast, and HomeKit in a small TV.

Check current price on Amazon →

SANSUI is a brand you might associate with audio gear, but this 24-inch WebOS TV is surprisingly feature-packed. It uses the same webOS platform as LG, which means access to all major streaming apps and a clean interface. But SANSUI adds Chromecast built-in and HomeKit support, so you can stream from an iPhone, iPad, or Android device directly. Apple AirPlay is also on board. The audio is a standout: dual 8-watt speakers with Dolby Atmos processing. That's more power than most 24-inch sets, and it shows in louder, fuller sound. The 768p resolution is standard for this class, and the VA panel delivers decent contrast. The bezel-less design on all four sides gives it a modern look. Connectivity is generous: three HDMI ports, two USB, Bluetooth 5.2, and even an RJ45 Ethernet jack. The remote is basic, but webOS supports the LG Magic Remote if you buy one separately. For a non-LG brand, this SANSUI offers a webOS experience that's nearly identical to LG's own sets, with added ecosystem hooks.

8. Westinghouse 24-inch Smart TV, HD Xumo TV: Best for Free Live TV Streaming

Pros

• Xumo platform offers 350+ free live channels with no subscription
• Voice remote with universal search
• Apple AirPlay built in
• Three HDMI ports and optical audio output

Cons

• Xumo is a less familiar platform with fewer premium app options
• Not Full HD — resolution is 720p (1366×768) class
• Audio is just average

Best for: Cord-cutters who want to watch live news, sports, and free on-demand content without paying for a streaming subscription.

Check current price on Amazon →

The Westinghouse 24-inch runs Xumo TV, a smart platform built entirely around free ad-supported content. Xumo Play bundles over 350 live channels — news, sports, movies, reality TV — plus 70,000 on-demand titles. You don't need a single subscription to get started. The voice remote lets you search across apps and the free content library. Apple AirPlay is built in, so iPhone and Mac users can mirror their screens wirelessly. The TV also has Bluetooth for pairing headphones or a soundbar. Connectivity is excellent: three HDMI ports, one USB, composite video, and digital optical audio output. The display is HD (likely 720p as Xumo doesn't advertise Full HD for this size). For a bedroom or guest room where you just want to turn on the TV and have something to watch without logging into apps, the Westinghouse is a solid choice. The Xumo interface is less polished than Roku or Fire TV, but it improves with time, and the free content library is genuinely large.

9. LG 24U411A-B 24-inch Full HD IPS Computer Monitor (120Hz): Best Dual-Use Desktop Screen

Pros

• Full HD 1920×1080 resolution — much sharper than any 720p TV
• 120Hz refresh rate with 1ms Motion Blur Reduction for smooth gaming
• IPS panel with HDR10 and 99% sRGB
• Reader Mode and Flicker Safe for eye comfort

Cons

• No smart TV features — it's a monitor, not a TV
• No built-in speakers (but has headphone out)
• Only one HDMI port (plus no USB-C)

Best for: Someone who needs a 24-inch monitor for work or gaming and also wants to use it as a TV with a streaming stick.

Check current price on Amazon →

The LG 24U411A-B is technically a computer monitor, not a TV. But it appears in this search because it serves the same purpose for many buyers: a 24-inch screen that can handle both desktop duty and entertainment. The difference is that this monitor blows away all the TVs on this list in picture quality. The Full HD (1080p) resolution at 24 inches gives a pixel density that makes text and video look crisp. The 120Hz refresh rate and 1ms MBR are rare at this size and make a noticeable difference when gaming or scrolling through web pages. The IPS panel offers consistent color from any angle, and HDR10 support improves contrast in supported content. There is no smart platform, no remote, and no TV tuner. You attach a Fire Stick or Roku to the lone HDMI port, and it becomes a very sharp, fast TV. Reader Mode and Flicker Safe reduce eye strain during long work sessions. For a home office setup where the same screen handles spreadsheets by day and Netflix by night, this is the best choice. Just remember to pair it with external speakers or headphones.

10. LG 27LQ625S-PU 27 inch Class LED Full HD Smart TV with webOS Bundle: Bigger Screen, Higher Resolution

Pros

• 27-inch Full HD 1080p IPS panel — the largest and sharpest screen on this list
• webOS with user profiles and personalized recommendations
• 3-side borderless design looks premium
• Bundle includes protection plan

Cons

• 27 inches may be too big for a tight nightstand or kitchen counter
• Still only two 5W speakers
• Bundle includes only a protection plan, no cables or accessories

Best for: Someone who wants the biggest screen possible in the "24-inch category" and can accommodate 27 inches, with Full HD clarity.

Check current price on Amazon →

The LG 27LQ625S-PU is really a 27-inch TV, but it appears here because the search for 24-inch LG TVs often surfaces variations in the same product family. If you have the space, this is the best screen of the bunch. The 27-inch IPS panel runs at 1920×1080 Full HD, which at this size gives you a sharp, detailed image without needing to sit far away. webOS is full-featured, with the same personalized profiles and streaming apps as LG's larger sets. The bezel-less design on three sides makes the TV look more expensive than it is. The bundle includes a one-year extended protection plan, adding peace of mind. Speakers are the same 5W x 2 as the 24-inch models, so for a TV this size you might want a soundbar. The stand is the typical LG wedge base; VESA mounting is supported. The biggest consideration is physical size: it's 3 inches wider and 1 inch taller than the 24-inch models. Measure your space before buying. If it fits, you get a noticeably better viewing experience for movies and games.

Buyer's guide: how to choose a 24-inch TV

Not all small TVs are created equal. Here are the factors that actually decide whether you'll be happy with the one you pick.

Resolution: 720p vs 1080p

Most 24-inch TVs ship with 1366×768 (often called 720p). That's fine for a TV you watch from six feet away on a dresser. But if the TV sits on a desk or a nightstand where your face is just a few feet from the screen, the pixels become visible. 1080p gives you a noticeably sharper image at close range — text is legible, fine details in movies come through, and games look less muddy. The trade-off is that 1080p panels are less common at this size and may be found in monitors or a few specific TV models like the Insignia F40 and the LG 24U411A. Don't pay extra for 1080p if the TV is going across the room; do seek it out for desk use.

Smart platform: the heart of the experience

The operating system is what you'll interact with every day. Roku is the gold standard: fast, simple, and frequently updated. Fire TV is great if you live in Alexa's world, but it does push Amazon content harder. webOS (on LG and some SANSUI sets) is polished and offers user profiles, which is great for shared TVs. Xumo is a newer platform that focuses on free live TV; it's not as refined but comes with a huge free library. The worst thing you can do is buy a "dumb" TV today — unless you already own a streaming stick. Make sure your chosen smart platform has the apps you actually use.

Audio: where small TVs usually fall short

Almost every 24-inch TV has small speakers, typically 5W to 8W per channel. They handle dialogue fine but lack bass and can't fill a large room. If you're watching in a bedroom, that's usually enough. For a living room or if you love action movies, plan on adding a soundbar or at least using Bluetooth headphones (if the TV supports it). Some sets like the SANSUI and Roku have better-than-average speakers. Check for Bluetooth headphone support if you'll be watching while others sleep.

Connectivity: how many devices do you need to plug in?

A 24-inch TV in a bedroom or office might only need one streaming stick. But if you also want a game console, a Blu-ray player, or a soundbar, you'll want at least two HDMI ports. The Westinghouse, SANSUI, and Insignia offer three HDMI ports; the LG 24LJ4540 has only one. USB ports are handy for powering a streaming stick or playing media from a drive. Digital optical audio output lets you connect to an older soundbar. Don't overlook the number of ports — you can't add them later.

Stand and mounting: will it fit your space?

Some 24-inch TVs come with basic V-shaped legs that require a wide surface. Others have a slim central stand that works on a narrow desk or shelf. If wall-mounting, check the VESA pattern — most sets are 100×100 or 200×200. The LG 24LQ520S models and the SANSUI have four-side or three-side bezel-less designs that look more modern. The weight matters if you're mounting on a drywall anchor: the lightest sets (Roku, Insignia, Westinghouse) are under 5 pounds; the LG sets run around 7 to 8 pounds.

Bundles vs. standalone: what's actually in the box?

Several picks on this list are bundles that include a protection plan, HDMI cables, or a surge protector. These can be convenient, but rarely save you money compared to buying the TV and accessories separately. The protection plans cover you for a second year — for a dorm or rental, that might be worth it. If you don't care about extended coverage, buy the standalone TV and pick up a basic HDMI cable elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a 4K TV at 24 inches?

No. The difference between 1080p and 4K is nearly invisible on a 24-inch screen at normal viewing distances. 4K panels at this size are rare and not worth the premium. Stick with Full HD (1080p) if you want maximum sharpness, or HD (720p) if the TV will be across the room.

Can I use a computer monitor as a TV?

Yes, if it has an HDMI input and you provide your own speakers. Monitors like the LG 24U411A-B have no TV tuner, no remote, and no smart platform. Plug in a streaming stick and you have a TV with a sharper picture than most actual TVs at this size. The trade-off is convenience: you'll need to buy a separate remote for the stick and maybe external speakers.

What's the best 24-inch TV for a bedroom?

The Roku Select Series 2026 is the easiest to recommend for a bedroom. It's simple to use, the Bluetooth headphone mode lets you watch without waking a partner, and the 720p panel is fine for typical bedtime viewing distances. The Insignia F40 is a strong alternative if you want Full HD and Alexa voice control.

Do these TVs work with a cable or antenna?

Most of the smart TVs on this list include a built-in ATSC tuner for over-the-air channels. The Roku Select Series and Insignia Fire TV both support antenna input. The LG 24U411A monitor does not have a tuner. Check the product specifications if you plan to use a digital antenna.

Can I mount any of these TVs on a wall?

Yes, all the TVs in this roundup are VESA-compatible. The standard pattern for 24-inch sets is usually 100x100mm or 200x200mm. Check the manual for the exact pattern. The LG 24LQ520S models use 100×100. The Insignia F40 uses 200×200. Wall-mounting is straightforward given the light weight of these TVs.

How long do 24-inch TVs typically last?

A decent LED TV should last 5 to 7 years with normal use. The LG and Insignia brands have reliable lifespans. Older models like the LG 24LJ4540 may have shorter remaining life if they've been used before. Extended protection plans, like the ones included in the LG bundles, cover you for one extra year.

Which 24-inch TV has the best picture quality?

Among the actual TVs, the Insignia F40 has the sharpest image due to its 1080p resolution. The LG 24U411A monitor has even better color and motion handling, but it's not a TV. If you want the best all-round TV picture, the Insignia is your best bet among the smart sets.

---

Final verdict

The Roku Select Series 2026 is the TV most people should buy. It delivers the smoothest streaming experience, Bluetooth headphone support, and a rock-solid smart platform. If you need Full HD resolution or use Alexa at home, the Insignia F40 Series is a close second. For LG fans who want webOS and the option of a bundle with protection, the LG 24LQ520S in any of its forms is a capable, well-built choice. And if your 24-inch screen spends equal time as a computer monitor, don't overlook the LG 24U411A-B — it's not a TV, but it's the best display on this list.

Still torn? Think about where the TV will go. In a kitchen or guest room, the Roku's simplicity wins. In a home office or dorm desk, the Insignia's Full HD and Alexa integration pull ahead. For a bedroom where you might also plug in a laptop, the LG 24LQ520S's dual role as a monitor makes it the most flexible. Pick the one that fits the space and the way you actually watch.
