Supersonic Supersonic SC-2426SDVD 24" HD Smart LED TV Review

This TV's display and picture quality rank in the 0th percentile of our database. It's dim, low-res, and basic. But for $219, it packs a built-in DVD player, a 12V car power cord, and surprisingly good connectivity. Only buy it if you specifically need that odd trio of features and can tolerate a truly bad picture.

The Supersonic SC-2426SDVD is a 24-inch TV that sits at the absolute bottom of our database for display and picture quality. That's the headline. But it's also a $219 TV with a built-in DVD player and a 12V car power cord, which puts it in a very specific, very practical niche. If you're looking for a screen for a camper van, a workshop, or a guest room where you just need something to work, this is it. Just don't expect it to compete with anything you'd put in your living room.

Performance here is all about context. Its 1366 x 768 resolution and 180-nit brightness land it in the 0th percentile for display and picture quality. In plain English, it's dim and low-res compared to every other TV we track. But its gaming score is a surprising 72nd percentile, thanks to a 9.5ms response time and 60Hz refresh rate. For a cheap, small screen, it won't feel overly laggy. Its connectivity is its strongest suit, hitting the 82nd percentile with three HDMI ports, two USB ports, and both Wi-Fi and Ethernet. That's more ports than many premium 85-inch TVs.

At $219, you're not paying for a TV. You're paying for a specific utility package: a small screen, a DVD player, and 12V power compatibility all in one box. Trying to assemble those three things separately would cost more and be clunky. The value is entirely in that bundled convenience for a very specific use case. If you don't need the DVD player or the 12V power, this TV offers negative value because its core display is objectively worse than anything else near its price.

This isn't competing with the Sony Bravia or LG OLEDs listed. It's competing with a cheap monitor and a separate DVD player. Compared to a basic 24-inch 1080p monitor, the Supersonic loses on resolution and brightness but adds smart TV apps and that DVD player. Against other small, cheap TVs like those from Insignia or TCL, it holds its own on ports and adds the unique DVD and 12V features, but will almost certainly have a worse panel. It's a trade-off: you get niche features at the direct expense of core picture quality.

Skip this if you care at all about picture quality. Its 0th percentile scores for display and picture aren't an exaggeration. If you're buying a TV for a main room, a bedroom where you'll watch movies, or for any kind of sports (it scores 8.5/100 there), this is the wrong choice. Also, if you don't need the DVD player or 12V power, you can find a much better basic 24-inch TV or monitor for the same money.

We can only recommend the Supersonic SC-2426SDVD if its three unique features—the built-in DVD player, the 12V car power cord, and the small 24-inch size—are absolute must-haves for your camper, workshop, or cramped spare room. For anyone else, even at $219, it's a hard pass. The 0th percentile display and picture scores are just too big a sacrifice when slightly more money gets you a vastly better 1080p screen.
