Is a 24" TV right for your room?
Most 24-inch sets are HD or Full HD TVs for kitchens, RVs, dorms and bedrooms. 4K is rare at this size and would be invisible from normal seats. At 3 ft 3 in or less from the sofa it suits desks, kitchens and small bedrooms, where you sit within arm’s reach to a few feet.
Allow at least 22.4" of wall or cabinet width. With the screen centre at a seated eye height of about 42", the top edge sits near 48" from the floor.
