UPDATE 2/2024: We loved this TV so much, using it in our kitchen, that we purchased a 2nd one for travel. It's compact and easily fits in a small spare suitcase with some towels to protect it. For general viewing, the screen is smaller than the 28" 720HD we had, but, due to being sharper at 1080, we barely have noticed the smaller size and have no issues seeing the sharper image on this. Small text is one area where this TV over a lower 720 resolution will be noticeably easier to read.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have owned other Insignia TVs including a 43" 4K Tv we use in a patio room that's served us well for over 5 years.
We wanted to replace our 720 27 inch kitchen with something smaller to save space and still be able to see it clearly.
This little 24 inch 1080 tv has a very clear, sharp and high quality 1080 picture. It's smaller screen size still blew away the more pixelated and larger screen size of the Samsung 27 inch 720 TV it replaced.
Text and faces and general detail is much more clear and defined and we have not really noticed any negative factors of going to a screen about 3" less diagonally in size.
All of the Fire apps works that we installed including, Netflix, MAX, Paramount+, Disney+, and STARZ. Also, we notice the CPU/processor in this TV is fast! Menu selection and app, input and settings selections are fast to access and move though what you are doing in the menus.
Don't expect built-in speakers for any flatscreen TV to sound that good. This tv has downward firing speakers and a thicker base to it, allowing a slightly larger speaker. You can hear what you need to, but, for us, we've been using the -Polk Magnify Mini 2- sound system for our kitchen tv and this new TV works perfectly with it to give us full sound in a very compact system in our kitchen.
Check out the Polk models, there are two, one with surround and one without, with both having a nice subwoofer that is included. We have the non-surround model and it works perfectly in our kitchen. These two Polk models are sold on Amazon too! If you want to hear very clear dialog, I strongly suggest checking out these Polks!
For under $140, you get a small full def tv here that has a full, in-depth menu to tweak settings to your hearts content. When I purchased this TV at our local Best Buy, I wasn't aware it has a menu that's as complete as a much larger, higher end TV, but, yes, it has it all for the setup menu.
5 stars all around. If you need a compact, space savings TV, but, want one with a full HD (1080) capability, this is the one to seriously consider. There a VERY few full 1080 definition TVs in this size and although it's only a 24 inch screen, the difference between 720 and 1080 will be obvious no matter what any sales person will tell you. (Seeing is believing).
If you want full quality sound for movies and other audio needing crisp dailog and full bass with a dedicated subwoofer, please do check out the Polk Mini 2 models at Amazon, you will not be disappointed!
