24 Inch Smart TV Buying Guide: Prices & Dimensions

Anyone who has tried to fit a bigger screen into a bedroom or kitchen knows the feeling: the space says no before the budget does. The 24-inch smart TV is the compromise that actually fits, and Irish retailers have more of them in stock than ever — prices start at €149.95 for a Walker set at Expert Ireland (electrical retail chain) — so this comparison covers the models you can buy today with real dimensions and retailer-specific prices, putting the decision on your shelf, not a spec sheet.

Price range: €149.95–€194.99 across current Irish listings · Cheapest confirmed: €149.95 Walker WPT24241SAT at Expert Ireland · Best-specified contender: Samsung 24F6000 at €169.95 from PowerCity (Irish electronics chain) · Depth without stand: 4.1 cm on the Walker WPS24261BK · VESA patterns: 75×75 mm and 100×100 mm

Twelve data points, one pattern: the listings that cost the least tell you the least about what you are buying. Here is the current 24-inch smart TV data at a glance.

What is the best buy for a 24 inch smart TV?

Right now, the answer depends less on brand loyalty and more on which retailer you check first. The current 24-inch field splits into two groups: Full HD sets with proper ports, and cheaper HD Ready sets that still run the main streaming apps.

Top models under €200

• Samsung 24F6000 — Full HD, two HDMI ports, VESA 100×100 mm, from €169.95 at PowerCity (Irish electronics chain)
• Sharp 1T-C24HD2225KB — Roku, HDR10, Freely, €164.99 at Very Ireland (online retailer)
• Walker WPS24261BK — HD Ready, 75×75 mm VESA, 55.3 cm wide, €179 at ElectroCity (Irish electrical retailer)
• Walker WPT24241SAT — HD Ready, sale price €149.95 at Expert Ireland (electrical retail chain)

All four stay under €200, which is the practical budget line for a 24-inch screen. The interesting bit is that the two cheapest options are not the same model from different shops — they are different TVs with different feature sets.

Features to prioritize in a small smart TV

• Resolution: HD Ready (1366×768) is the norm on budget sets; Full HD is the upgrade (Very Ireland)
• Ports: two HDMI inputs on the Samsung set the floor for a useful small TV (PowerCity)
• Tuner: Saorview support matters in Ireland — the Samsung does it in one box (PowerCity)
• Streaming: Netflix and RTÉ Player on the Samsung; Roku’s app store on the Sharp (PowerCity, Very Ireland)

If you sit closer than two metres — typical in a bedroom — the resolution difference between HD Ready and Full HD becomes visible. That is why the Samsung is the safest all-round bet, and the Walker sale set is the better kitchen or guest-room choice.

Where to find the best value

• PowerCity: Samsung 24F6000 at €169.95 — the most complete spec for the price
• Very Ireland: Sharp Roku at €164.99 and Samsung at €194.99 (Very Ireland)
• ElectroCity: Walker WPS24261BK and Toshiba 24WV3553DB at €179 each, with €6.99 delivery or free click-and-collect (ElectroCity)
• Expert Ireland: Walker WPT24241SAT at €149.95 while the sale lasts (Expert Ireland)

The pattern: each retailer is effectively competing on a different model. PowerCity goes low on the Samsung, Very goes low on the Sharp, and Expert simply undercuts everyone with a Walker sale unit.

The catch: the cheapest listing moves between retailers week to week, so the “best buy” answer has a short shelf life — which is why the comparison table at the end of this comparison is worth bookmarking.

What are the dimensions of a 24 inch TV?

The screen size is measured diagonally, so the cabinet footprint is the number that actually decides whether a TV fits. For the Walker WPS24261BK, the current listings give the clearest picture.

Typical width, height, depth measurements

• Without stand: 55.3 cm wide × 33.4 cm high × 4.1 cm deep (Walker WPS24261BK, ElectroCity)
• With stand: 55.3 cm wide × 36.5 cm high × 13.5 cm deep (same listing, ElectroCity)

The depth figure is the one most people miss. A panel that is 4.1 cm deep will sit almost flush on a wall bracket, but the same TV with its stand needs 13.5 cm of shelf depth — enough for most, but not for a shallow cabinet above a fridge.

VESA mount compatibility

• Walker WPS24261BK: 75×75 mm pattern (ElectroCity)
• Samsung 24F6000: 100×100 mm pattern (PowerCity)

The VESA pattern is a physical specification, not a brand choice. Match the bracket to the pattern — 75×75 or 100×100 in these cases — rather than to the screen size, because the holes on the back are what carry the weight.

Comparing with the smallest smart TVs

• The Cello CTRAV-24TZ is a 24-inch traveller TV: 1080p, Tizen OS and a 12-volt design that suits vans and boats (Amazon Ireland)
• The Westinghouse 24-inch Roku TV is listed at €159.21 on Amazon Ireland, close to the Sharp on price

The practical difference between a 22-inch and a 24-inch set is only a few centimetres, but the jump from 24 to 32 inches changes the furniture. A 24-inch screen keeps you in bedside-table territory; beyond that, you are committing to a bigger wall and a different bracket pattern.

The trade-off: the smaller the TV, the more the stand and bracket determine where it can live. The same panel that disappears on a wall needs real shelf depth once the stand is attached.

What is the cheapest 24 inch smart TV available?

If price is the only filter, the cheapest confirmed 24-inch smart TV in Ireland right now is the Walker WPT24241SAT at €149.95 at Expert Ireland. But “cheapest” changes with the sale cycle, and the runners-up are close enough that features should drive the decision.

Budget models from Walker, Westinghouse and Sharp

• Walker WPT24241SAT — €149.95 (Expert Ireland, electrical retail chain)
• Westinghouse 24-inch Roku TV — €159.21 (Amazon Ireland, online marketplace)
• Sharp 1T-C24HD2225KB — €164.99 with Roku, HDR10 and Freely (Very Ireland, online retailer)
• Samsung 24F6000 — €169.95 at PowerCity; €194.99 at Very Ireland for the same set

The Westinghouse is the wildcard: it undercuts the Sharp by about €6 and uses the same Roku platform, which makes the Sharp’s extra value depend on HDR10 and Freely rather than on the operating system alone.

Where to check prices in Ireland

• ElectroCity: Walker WPS24261BK and Toshiba 24WV3553DB at €179 each (ElectroCity)
• PowerCity: Samsung 24F6000 at €169.95 (PowerCity)
• Expert Ireland: Walker WPT24241SAT at €149.95 (Expert Ireland)
• Very Ireland: Sharp at €164.99, Samsung at €194.99 (Very Ireland)

Supermarket stock remains the unknown. The confirmed listings in this round all come from specialist electrical retailers, not from Tesco, which means the prices above are the reliable baseline for comparison shopping.

Trade-offs: brands, features, warranty

• Samsung: 1-year parts-and-labour warranty (PowerCity)
• Toshiba: 1-year warranty, €6.99 delivery or free click-and-collect (ElectroCity)

At this price level, the warranty is uniform at one year. The real differentiator is delivery cost and click-and-collect, which shifts the effective price by €7 on some models.

The pattern: the cheapest set wins only if the set-top box, HDMI switch and wall bracket you would need to add do not cost more than the €20–€45 you saved.

Which 24 inch smart TV is best?

Best is a loaded word at this size, so let’s define it: the model that gets the most useful features into the least expensive, best-documented package. By that definition, the Samsung 24F6000 is the current front-runner — the listing confirms Full HD, two HDMI ports, Saorview and Netflix in one box.

Samsung vs Walker vs Sharp

• Samsung 24F6000: Full HD, 2 HDMI, VESA 100×100 mm, Saorview + RTÉ Player + Netflix — €169.95 at PowerCity (Irish electronics chain)
• Sharp 1T-C24HD2225KB: Roku, HDR10, Freely — €164.99 at Very Ireland (online retailer)
• Walker WPS24261BK: HD Ready, VESA 75×75 mm, 55.3 cm wide — €179 at ElectroCity (Irish electrical retailer)
• Toshiba 24WV3553DB: HD Ready — €179 at ElectroCity, with a 1-year warranty

The Samsung dominates the spec sheet, but the Sharp wins the platform argument for households that already live inside Roku. The Walker and Toshiba are the honest budget picks: fewer specs, lower expectations, no surprises.

What makes a model “best” (picture, sound, apps)

• Picture: Full HD on the Samsung is the sharpest confirmed panel in the 24-inch class (Very Ireland)
• Sound: none of the listings publish speaker wattage, so entry-level sound is the safe assumption at this size — budget for a soundbar if you care
• Apps: Netflix and RTÉ Player on the Samsung; Roku’s app store on the Sharp (PowerCity, Very Ireland)

The sound point matters more than it seems: 24-inch TVs live in bedrooms and kitchens, where speakers face sideways into a room instead of toward a sofa.

User reviews summary

• Samsung 24F6000: 4 out of 5 stars from 73 customer reviews at Very Ireland

That is the only meaningful review sample in the current listings, and it lines up with the spec sheet: the Samsung is the safe choice for anyone who wants a small TV that behaves like a big one.

Why this matters: at €169.95, PowerCity makes “best” and “cheapest when adjusted for features” the same answer. The Sharp undercuts it by €5 but does not confirm Full HD in its listing; the Walker is €9 more and confirms only HD Ready.

The pattern: the balance tilts toward Samsung as long as PowerCity holds its price — if Very Ireland drops its Samsung listing to match, the comparison shifts entirely.

Is there a 24 inch smart TV available at Tesco?

Tesco is one of the first places shoppers check for a kitchen TV, but the current round of listings we could confirm all come from specialist retailers. That does not mean Tesco has no stock — it means the data is thinner, and checking online before travelling is the only reliable move.

Where the confirmed stock is right now

• ElectroCity: Walker WPS24261BK and Toshiba 24WV3553DB at €179 (ElectroCity)
• PowerCity: Samsung 24F6000 at €169.95 (PowerCity)
• Very Ireland: Sharp Roku at €164.99 and Samsung at €194.99 (Very Ireland)
• Expert Ireland: Walker WPT24241SAT at €149.95 (Expert Ireland)

This is the complete set of confirmed 24-inch smart TV listings in the current data. Every one of them is an online order with delivery or click-and-collect, which is the practical alternative to hunting through supermarket shelves.

Online vs in-store availability

• ElectroCity: €6.99 delivery, free click-and-collect (Toshiba 24WV3553DB listing, ElectroCity)
• Very Ireland: online-only with customer reviews attached (Very Ireland)
• Expert Ireland: online pricing with a physical store network — check before you drive (Expert Ireland)

Click-and-collect changes the economics: free collection at ElectroCity effectively beats a €6.99 home delivery, and removes the “was it in stock?” gamble of a supermarket trip.

Alternative retailers: Currys, Argos, DID

• Currys and DID.ie list 24-inch TVs regularly, but no current model from either retailer appears in the confirmed data for this guide
• Argos operates a different stock rhythm, with frequent turnover on small TVs — check its live stock before visiting

The reliable strategy is to treat the confirmed retailers as the baseline and use Currys, Argos or DID as tie-breakers when the specialist listings run out of stock.

24 inch smart TV comparison: Walker vs Samsung vs Sharp

Three 24-inch models, one pattern: the cheapest listing on paper is not the cheapest set once resolution, ports and tuner are on the table.

The pattern: the two cheapest models — Walker and Sharp — leave their smart platforms and ports half-documented. The Samsung is the only set where every row has an answer, which matters when the wall bracket or the HDMI switch is already in the basket.

Samsung 24F6000 specifications

One model, nine confirmed details: the Samsung 24F6000 is the rare 24-inch set that retailers document properly — and the detail gap explains its price.

What this means: the Samsung’s documentation is part of its value. You know exactly what you are mounting, plugging in and streaming before you spend the money — which is more than the budget listings offer.

The upsides and downsides of a 24-inch smart TV

Four upsides, four downsides — the 24-inch class makes sense for specific rooms, not every room.

The takeaway: a 24-inch smart TV is a room-specific purchase. It wins in kitchens, bedrooms, vans and small flats — and loses everywhere a 32-inch set could fit instead.

Confirmed facts vs what’s still unclear

The market splits cleanly down the middle: prices and dimensions are confirmed; stock and long-term reliability are not.

The implication: buy the confirmed spec, not the promise. The listings that name the platform, the ports and the warranty are the ones worth paying for.

What the retailers’ listings say

Three retailers, three different levels of detail — the quotes below show exactly what each one commits to in writing.

“The Walker WPS24261BK is a 24-inch HD Ready Smart TV that measures 55.3 cm by 33.4 cm by 4.1 cm without the stand and carries a 75 × 75 mm VESA pattern.”

ElectroCity product listing (Irish electrical retailer)

“The Samsung 24F6000 works with Saorview, supports RTÉ Player and Netflix, and comes with a one-year parts-and-labour warranty.”

PowerCity product page (Irish electronics chain)

“The Sharp 1T-C24HD2225KB is a 24-inch Roku Smart TV with HDR10 and Freely, priced at €164.99.”

Very Ireland product listing (online department store)

The pattern: the detail in each listing is the real product. ElectroCity documents dimensions, PowerCity documents tuner and warranty, and Very documents the smart platform — between the three, you get the full picture.

The practical takeaway for Irish shoppers

The 24-inch smart TV market in Ireland is finally in a useful place: the entry price is below €150, the best-specified model costs €169.95, and the retailers worth using are clear. For anyone furnishing a bedroom, a kitchen or a campervan, the choice is now between the €149.95 Walker at Expert Ireland for streaming-only corners and the Samsung 24F6000 at PowerCity for anyone who watches Saorview and wants Full HD with a proper HDMI allowance. For the Irish shopper, the decision is simple: compare the listing, not the screen size — because a €20 saving on paper can turn into a €60 cost in adapters, brackets and a second streaming box.

The implication: check the retailer’s page for the most current price and stock before you drive — the published figure is your starting point, not the final word.
