As you can see, that is quite a lot of specs for such a small TV. Of course the interesting feature for the Cello C2420FS is the built-in DVD player. We are not sure how often people use DVDs, especially on such small screens but it is nice to have it. 

And if you are not familiar with the Cello brand which is quite popular in UK, here is an interesting TV review of a slightly bigger cheap Android TV:

Cello C2420FS - product price

In the very beginning of 2021 the asking price for the small Cello TV is £150 for a brand new item. We are not sure how the fact that it is made in Britain affects its price but it is definitely one of the cheapest in the segment.

I remember back in the days when we reviewed the Cello C24115F which is the predecessor of the TV we discuss today and its price was around £120. So, it seems like prices are going up a bit these years, but that is quite expected considering inflation and... of course Brexit.

And if 24-inches is way too small for you, you should definitely check the 50-inch 4k Smart TV  Cello HDC50RTS4K which is quite a bit more expensive.
