Score: 66/100Rankings
The VIZIO D24f-J09 24-inch TV delivers a sharp 1080p picture with Full Array backlighting and a full suite of smart features, making it ideal for compact spaces. Its modest audio and limited HDMI ports keep it from being a premium choice.
The TCL 40-Inch S3 delivers a budget-friendly 1080p experience with a choice of Roku or Google TV smart platforms, making it a solid secondary TV for small rooms, though it lacks premium features like HDMI 2.1 and advanced HDR.
