Supersonic SC-2411

The Supersonic SC-2411's smart features and connectivity rank in the bottom 10% of all TVs, making it feel ancient out of the box. Its 1366 x 768 resolution and 250cd/m² brightness deliver a picture that's well below average, landing in the 29th percentile for display quality. At its lowest price around $144, it's a basic utility screen, but anything more is a bad deal.

Let's be direct: this TV is not built for performance. The gaming score of 10.1 out of 100 puts it in the 19th percentile, one of the weakest we've seen for any modern use case. A max 10ms response time isn't going to cut it for anything beyond very casual play, and you'll notice blur in fast-moving scenes. The sports score is similarly disappointing at 10.6 out of 100, so don't expect to track a hockey puck or a football clearly on this panel.

The audio is a letdown too, ranking in the 16th percentile. The built-in speakers and basic sound modes (User, Music, Movie, Standard) deliver thin, boxy sound. You'll almost certainly want a soundbar or headphones via the coaxial or 3.5mm output. The one faint positive is the viewing angle, rated at 170 degrees horizontal, which is decent for a small TV if you're not sitting dead center.

Stacked against the competition, the SC-2411 doesn't just fall behind, it's in a different league entirely. The Sony BRAVIA 5 K55XR50 and Samsung QN80F are in another stratosphere for picture quality, HDR, and gaming performance, with scores that would dwarf this Supersonic. Even a budget-focused set like the TCL QM7L Series 55QM7L offers a quantum dot panel and a modern smart interface for a similar price to the higher end of this TV's bizarre price range. The Hisense QD7 and LG QNED evo AI models also deliver vastly superior brightness, contrast, and processing. The only reason to pick the SC-2411 over any of them is if you absolutely need a tiny 24-inch screen and have a hard budget cap around $150.

Pricing on this set is all over the map, with a staggering spread from $144 to $36,437 across vendors. At the low end, you're getting a basic small screen for a kitchen or workshop, and the price reflects that. But anything above $200 is a tough sell when you can get a name-brand 24-inch 1080p set with a real smart platform for not much more. The budget score of 15.3 out of 100 tells the story: even at its cheapest, the value proposition is weak because the core experience is so compromised. Shop carefully and don't overpay for what is fundamentally a very basic display.

The Supersonic SC-2411 is a 24-inch LED TV that lands in a rough spot in our database. Its picture quality sits at the 37th percentile, and the display overall is even lower at the 29th. That 1366 x 768 resolution is a real limitation in a world where 1080p is the bare minimum for most. Brightness tops out at 250cd/m², which means it'll struggle in a well-lit room. The contrast ratio of 1000:1 is about what we'd expect from a budget panel from years ago, not a modern set.

But the real story here is the feature set, or lack thereof. The smart platform and connectivity both rank in the bottom 10% of all TVs we've tracked. Built-in WiFi is there, but it's the older 802.11n standard. You get two HDMI ports, which is tight if you have more than a couple of devices. The built-in Google Assistant is a nice bullet point, but on a TV with this level of performance, it feels like putting a smart speaker in a go-kart.

Almost everyone should skip this TV. If you care about picture quality at all, the 37th percentile ranking and 768p resolution will be a constant annoyance. Gamers should run the other way given the 19th percentile gaming performance. And if you want to actually use smart apps without pulling your hair out, the 9th percentile smart ranking is a dealbreaker. The only potential buyer is someone who needs a dirt-cheap, small screen for a very specific utility purpose where picture quality doesn't matter, like a CCTV monitor or a display for a retro hobby project.

The Supersonic SC-2411 is a TV from another era, and not in a good way. The 768p resolution, poor brightness, and bottom-of-the-barrel smart features make it hard to recommend for any primary viewing. Its only saving grace is a very low entry price and some niche connectivity like 12V compatibility. For a workshop monitor or a screen for a camper where you just need something that turns on, it might squeak by. For everyone else, spend a little more on a 1080p set from a brand you've actually heard of.
