May 29, 2025
If you still think that a budget price HDTV automatically translates into a low quality picture and complete lack of features, you're in for a big surprise with the Vizio D24F 24" HDTV system. From built-in Chromecast to its bright, vivid picture to a full-function remote, it's a great choice for a dorm room, bedroom, office or any other area where a smaller TV -- and quite acceptable computer monitor - would be useful. Tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ checks out the Vizio D-Series D24F HDTV 24" 1080p Television and finds it quite featureful and at an astonishingly affordable price.

Dave Taylor here and this time I'm
0:14
looking at a television this is the
0:17
Vizio Smart cast D series 24 inch LED
0:21
television hmm that's a mouthful
0:24
goes by the cheery name of D 24 F dash F
0:27
1 and here's the thing you're not gonna
0:29
believe how many features it has versus
0:32
the price tag so let's start out this is
0:35
smart cast
0:36
Smart cast is vizio spilt in control
0:39
system and as you can see along the
0:41
bottom it actually includes all these
0:43
apps for all these different systems and
0:45
all these different streaming channels
0:47
you can pop over to Netflix with the
0:49
included Handy remote that has shortcuts
0:52
so let's go ahead and just jump over to
0:54
Netflix and let's see what's going on
0:56
with Netflix that looks like dirty money
0:58
is being pro mode but let's see what
1:00
else is going on obviously I can do all
1:02
this with the remote and here's a
1:04
close-up it's a nice simple demur mode
1:06
but there's also the smart cast app that
1:09
you can get for your smartphone or for
1:11
your tablet and that actually makes it
1:13
even easier plus that gives you access
1:16
to more settings in terms of audio well
1:18
maybe not more settings but it's an
1:20
easier way to get to the settings so the
1:23
smart cast is really cool and again here
1:25
we are on Netflix and I can just jump
1:27
right back to smart cast by pushing the
1:29
smart cast button on the remote so far
1:32
you haven't heard anything why don't we
1:34
actually find something that has some
1:36
audio I think I might just need to turn
1:38
the volume up come on you can do it it's
1:42
a lot of stuff going on on my network so
1:44
it takes a couple of seconds there we go
1:46
now let's see maybe there's some
1:49
trailers here or something we can watch
1:53
let's see if we can get a trailer for
1:56
this I'm not sure what this is but we'll
1:59
find out the sound is good it's not
2:03
great they're little speakers in a
2:05
little television so it's not going to
2:07
sound the same as if you have like a
2:08
really nice Vizio sound bar hooked up
2:11
let's go back to Netflix
2:13
I think Netflix is going to give us
2:14
better results and I think we can go
2:17
here and they'll turn the volume up a
2:20
little bit and here we go I know nothing
2:28
about this show it just showed up on
2:30
Netflix but you can see this is a really
2:34
nice TV and it's streaming there's no
2:36
computers there's nothing else I need to
2:38
do it in my house or office or dorm room
2:41
other than have good internet okay let's
2:45
go ahead and pause that so don't really
2:48
have the rights to rebroadcast that so
2:50
we're just gonna stop there and let me
2:52
tell you so it has built-in chromecast
2:56
obviously and that gives you access to
3:00
Netflix Amazon Video Hulu
3:03
there's even a USB control cuz on the
3:06
back there's a USB plug so if your buddy
3:08
comes in and she has all these movies on
3:11
a USB Drive and you're not sure where
3:13
they're from but you want to watch them
3:15
if your TV is ready to rock and roll
3:17
with that and the app gives you even
3:19
more features it's very nice now the TV
3:22
itself is a full HD so that means it's
3:27
1920 by 1080 at 60 Hertz so it's a Full
3:30
HD television with a hundred and 78
3:33
degree viewing angle you can see here
3:35
you're not square on to the TV and it's
3:38
still nice and bright has a 6 core v6
3:41
processor and it supports 802 11 n so
3:45
it's one of the highest and fastest of
3:47
the different Wi-Fi options and it is
3:49
DTS surround sound though probably
3:51
you're gonna want to plug something in
3:53
Oh while we're talking about things to
3:56
plug in how about we plug in my iPhone
3:58
and see how that works so what I have
4:00
here is I have the iPhone adapter
4:04
lightning to HDMI and then I have HDMI I
4:07
plugged into the back here and you're
4:08
thinking dude nothing's happening on the
4:11
TV that's because we need to go to
4:13
inputs so we'll go to inputs and gives
4:16
me different options and I can see here
4:18
HDMI one two three component TV it has a
4:22
built-in TV tuner that's super helpful
4:24
if
4:26
you are old school you want to hook up
4:27
rabbit ears you can do that and HDMI one
4:30
here's my phone right and that's
4:32
interesting but look what happens when I
4:34
turn it sideways because suddenly
4:37
assuming that it works , phone you can
4:40
do it well what it should do is it
4:43
should go to fullscreen come on jeez I
4:47
guess some apps support that and some
4:48
apps don't let's try this one there we
4:51
go and so now I could be doing something
4:53
on my phone and you could be watching
4:55
along and you're like ooh cool demo
4:57
that's really neat if you're a app
4:59
developer or something this is great but
5:01
here's the thing is it's HDMI so you can
5:04
plug in anything a blu-ray player you
5:06
could plug in your computer and use this
5:08
as a second monitor that's pretty sweet
5:11
and then when you're not doing that it's
5:12
ready for Netflix and whatever else you
5:14
want to do really really nice now on the
5:17
back there's a little area that gives
5:19
you all your inputs and they are two
5:22
HDMI and Ethernet and USB one of the
5:26
HDMI is notice supports arc that's a
5:28
Audio Return system that usually helps
5:31
you not have to have so many wires if
5:33
you also want a sound bar and it has an
5:36
op 3.5 millimeter audio out you could
5:38
use headphones with your TV how cool is
5:41
that whole thing is really light it
5:43
weighs 7 pounds it's surprisingly light
5:46
actually and oh the size I already told
5:48
you right it's 24 inches so it's 24 inch
5:51
diagonal it's probably like twenty three
5:53
point nine one seven inches so don't sue
5:55
me because I'm saying 24 inches and
5:58
here's the crazy thing it uses almost
6:00
zero power if you use this for five
6:04
hours a day it should cost you about
6:07
five bucks an electricity a year yeah
6:11
it's insane it's like less than a buck a
6:13
month of electricity and that's with you
6:16
watching it from maybe 6:00 p.m. till
6:18
what 11 p.m. every single night
6:20
really really nice there's a lot I
6:22
really like about this and let's just go
6:25
back to let's see where were we before
6:28
let's go back to smart cast so and again
6:33
smart cast takes a couple seconds to
6:35
grab its data and there's their you know
6:37
their Vizio is always doing updates
6:39
so I suspect that the buffering for
6:41
smart cast is going to get better over
6:42
time this is also the bottom as probably
6:46
not the right word the entry-level point
6:48
for the Vizio system so the bigger Vizio
6:52
systems definitely go a lot faster they
6:54
have more processor they have more
6:56
memory whatever anyway here it is we're
6:58
back on smart cast and there's a lot to
7:01
like about this television and when I
7:02
tell you the price you will be shocked
7:04
but before we get there go ahead and
7:06
click on that subscribe button because
7:08
it is super helpful for me if you can
7:10
subscribe to my channel cool now how
7:13
much would you pay for this beautiful 24
7:16
inch HD color television with HDMI and
7:19
built-in chromecast because chromecast
7:22
is what smart cast is built around so
7:24
you can sit on your laptop and you can
7:25
cast stuff to it - how awesome is that
7:28
how much would you pay for this the
7:30
Vizio Smart cast D Series D 24 F - f1
7:35
also available in 32 43 and 50 inch
7:38
models this 24 inch model is you ready
7:41
for this 130 $9.99 at Best Buy com Vizio
7:46
tells me this is one of the best selling
7:48
TVs that they have at Best Buy and you
7:50
can see why this is so inexpensive such
7:54
a great entry-level price and it is a
7:56
no-brainer to add this into even your
7:58
kitchen or something at that price it's
8:00
great and then you can use chromecast to
8:03
push data on to it if you're not excited
8:05
about the particular built-in channels
8:07
super cool I'm a big fan I'm already a
8:09
fan of vizio and this is just a great
8:11
