24 Inch TV Dimensions: Width, Height & Viewing Distance
24″ TV = 20.9″ × 11.8″
A 24-inch TV has a screen about 20.9 inches wide and 11.8 inches tall (53.1 × 29.9 cm).
Step by step
- For 16:9, width = diagonal × 16 ÷ √(16² + 9²) = 24 × 0.8716 = 20.92 in.
- Height = diagonal × 9 ÷ √337 = 24 × 0.4903 = 11.77 in.
- Add about 1–3 inches each way for the frame and stand.
24-inch TVs suit bedrooms, kitchens and small spaces viewed from 3–5 ft. A 24″ screen has 19% of the area of a 55″ TV.

How it works
TV sizes are the diagonal of the visible screen, not the width. Because almost all TVs are 16:9, width and height follow directly from the diagonal. Screen area grows with the square of the size, so a 75-inch TV has nearly twice the picture of a 55-inch. Manufacturers list exact dimensions with and without the stand — check them before buying furniture or a wall mount.
