Supersonic SC-2412 24"

The Supersonic SC-2412 is a 24 inch 1080p TV with a built-in DVD player, which is its main selling point. Picture quality is the worst in our database, with a dim 180 nit panel. It's worth around $180 USD if you need the DVD combo, but skip it if you want a good-looking screen.

This thing is not built for speed or brightness. The 60Hz panel and 5ms response time are fine for casual viewing, and the gaming score of 32.1 out of 100 puts it at the 61st percentile, which is honestly better than we expected for a budget DVD combo TV. The display itself is the weak link. 180 nits is dim by modern standards, and the picture quality score is dead last in our database. HDR10 support is technically there, but with this panel it's more of a checkbox than a feature. The built-in DVD player handles a wide range of formats including DVD, CD, VCD, and SVCD, which is genuinely useful if you have a physical media collection. Audio is a basic 2.0 channel setup with 10W total, so don't expect much depth or volume.

Stacked against the Samsung Neo QLED QN70F or the Hisense U8 Series, this Supersonic is not even playing the same game. Those are big, bright, feature-packed TVs with real HDR performance and gaming chops. The SC-2412 is a 24 inch utility screen with a DVD player. The Roku Plus Series and TCL QM6K also blow it away on picture quality and smart features. But none of those have a built-in DVD player, and none of them fit on a tiny RV counter. This is a different product for a different buyer.

At around $180 USD, the SC-2412 is cheap, but you're getting exactly what you pay for. The built-in DVD player and dual tuners are the real value here, since finding those features on a new TV is nearly impossible. The CAD and JPY listings are significantly higher, and at those prices this becomes a much harder sell. If you need a small screen with a DVD slot and don't care about picture quality, it's a reasonable buy. If you want a good-looking picture, save your money for something brighter.

The Supersonic SC-2412 is a 24 inch 1080p LED TV with a built-in DVD player, and that combo is basically the whole pitch. It's aimed at people who want a simple screen for a bedroom, kitchen, or RV without dealing with extra boxes and cables. The specs are modest across the board, but the DVD slot and dual tuners give it a niche appeal that most modern TVs have abandoned.

We pulled the numbers and the picture quality lands at the very bottom of our database. A 180 nit panel with a 1000:1 contrast ratio is not going to wow anyone. But if you're watching old DVDs or catching local channels in a small space, it gets the job done without pretending to be something it's not.

Skip this if you care about picture quality at all. The 180 nit panel is dim, and the contrast is mediocre. If you're buying a main living room TV or something for gaming, look at the TCL QM6K or Roku Plus Series instead. Also skip it if you need multiple HDMI ports, since it only has one.

Buy this if you need a compact TV with a built-in DVD player and don't care about brightness or picture quality. It's a solid fit for an RV, a kids' room, or a kitchen where you just want something that works. The Google TV interface is a nice bonus for streaming. Just don't expect it to compete with anything in the modern TV market on image quality.
