Small TV of 24 to 43 inches: kitchen, bedroom, motorhome, office

A secondary TV isn't chosen like the living-room one: size, power supply, reception and simplicity matter more than the latest technology. Here are all our 24- to 43-inch TVs, across all brands, sorted by room and use, with their prices.

In brief
  • Motorhome : 24-inch Radiola on 12 V, from €129.99
  • Kitchen, bedroom : 32 inches, smart or non-smart, from €149.99
  • Office, small bedroom : 40 to 43 inches 4K, from €399.99
  • Always check the Belgian apps on the system

The three questions to ask yourself

For a secondary TV, the usual criteria (OLED or Mini LED, nit count, HDMI 2.1) take a back seat. What really matters:

  1. Where will it go? Viewing distance decides the size, and where the power comes from (mains or 12 V).
  2. How do you receive TV? Operator set-top box, TNT aerial, satellite or internet only: the answer determines which tuners and sockets you need.
  3. Do you need apps? If so, choose a system that offers your Belgian apps. If not, a non-smart TV is simpler and cheaper.

Which size for the distance?

The basic rule: you can sit at roughly 2.25 times the diagonal for HD or Full HD, and at 1.5 times the diagonal in 4K, without seeing the pixels.

Motorhome, caravan, boat

Here, only one feature really matters: the 12 V power supply. A standard TV running off a 230 V inverter will also work, but it uses more power and drains the battery faster.

From 40 inches up, you're in a different category: a more comfortable screen, often 4K, and sometimes genuine living-room features.

Nimestore recommended retail prices as at 15/10/2026; the product page prevails, and Nimesclub members often benefit from a reduced price. For a cinephile's bedroom, there are also 42-inch OLEDs: Samsung TQ42S92H (€1,299.99), LG OLED42C64LA and Philips 42OLED811 (€1,399.99 each). For a mobile, touch-enabled screen, the 27-inch LG StandbyME 2 is priced at €999.99.

Clément's tip

My picks by room: the Radiola RA24A2TV for the motorhome, the Radiola RA32A3 for a kitchen with a set-top box, the LG 32LB650B6LA for a bedroom with Netflix and Auvio without a box, and the LG 43QNED72B6B for a large bedroom or an office in 4K. And for a gamer's teenager's bedroom, the Hisense 43A7S and its 120 Hz display (HSR).

Sound and simplicity

In a kitchen, the noise of the cooker hood or dishwasher quickly drowns out the sound of a small TV, which is often limited to 6 to 20 W. If you watch the news while cooking, opt for a model with a 'dialogue' mode or a small soundbar. In a bedroom, on the other hand, modest sound is enough, and the scheduled standby function is very handy.

For an elderly person or a child, the simplicity matters more than anything: a clear remote, direct access to channels and as few menus as possible. A non-smart TV connected to a set-top box, or a Smart TV with a simple system, avoids many calls for help. In store, we can show you the remotes and menus of the different models side by side.

Pitfalls to avoid

Not connected doesn't mean 'no telly': a non-connected TV displays your provider's set-top box perfectly, but has neither Netflix nor YouTube. Check that the product page says 'Smart TV' if you want apps.
  • Satellite : none of our small non-connected TVs has a satellite tuner. For a satellite dish, choose the RA24A2TV or a Smart TV with a triple tuner.
  • 50 Hz : the Telefunken TFK32GPD24D runs at 50 Hz. For sport, go for a 60 Hz model.
  • The number of HDMI ports : a set-top box, a console and a streaming stick need three ports. Some small TVs have only one or two.
  • The wall bracket : check the VESA standard (75, 100...) before buying a bracket for the kitchen or bedroom.
  • 12 V : only the 24-inch Radiolas are listed as 12 V in our range.

For all other sizes and budgets, see our selection by budget or browse our whole TV range. And for the rest of the space, go back to the other brands section.

Frequently asked questions

What size TV for a kitchen?

Usually 24 to 32 inches: you watch from 1.5 or 2 metres away, often while doing something else. A 32-inch HD is more than enough; beyond 2.5 metres, a 40 or 43-inch becomes more comfortable.

Do you need a Smart TV for a second TV?

Not necessarily. If the TV is connected to your provider's set-top box, a non-connected TV is enough and costs less. If you want Netflix, YouTube or Auvio without a box, get a Smart TV whose system offers your apps.

Which TV for a motorhome?

A TV that takes 12 V, such as the Radiola RA24A3VG and RA24A2TV: they plug directly into the battery, using the cigar lighter adaptor. If you travel with a satellite dish, choose the RA24A2TV, which has a satellite tuner.

HD, Full HD or 4K for a small TV?

At 24 and 32 inches, HD or Full HD is enough, as you can't see the difference at a normal viewing distance. From 40 to 43 inches, 4K becomes worthwhile, especially if you sit close to the screen.

Can you put an OLED in a bedroom?

Yes, and it's actually a great choice for watching films in the dark. 42-inch OLEDs (LG, Samsung, Philips) cost between €1,299.99 and €1,399.99, though: it's a treat purchase, not a spare TV.

Can a small TV be used as a computer monitor?

Yes, via HDMI. A Full HD or 4K model will make a better screen than an HD one, and the Radiola RA24A3VG even has a VGA input for an older PC. For heavy office use, a proper monitor is still more comfortable.
