The Finlux MH24F is a straightforward 32-inch Smart TV aimed squarely at budget-conscious buyers after a hassle-free setup. What you're getting here is a Fire TV-powered telly, which is Finlux's smart shortcut – rather than building their own operating system, they've licensed Amazon's platform, so you get a familiar interface and instant access to most major streaming services right out of the box.
The specs tell a practical story. HD Ready (1366x768) is the baseline modern standard, and honestly, it holds up fine on a 32-inch screen from normal viewing distance. You won't notice pixelation watching Netflix dramas or YouTube. Where it shows its age is detailed content or if you sit close – gamers especially will notice the softer image compared to Full HD, let alone 4K. The HDR10 support is a nice touch for future-proofing, though its impact depends on the panel's brightness and colour gamut, which aren't disclosed here.
Audio-wise, Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual X suggest decent speakers by budget TV standards – you won't need external speakers for casual telly or film watching, though serious cinephiles will still want a soundbar.
The Alexa integration is genuinely useful. Voice control for volume, channel switching, and app launching works smoothly, though you'll occasionally need the remote for text input. Freeview Play adds UK catch-up TV channels, which is handy.
Realistic pegs: refresh rate isn't mentioned (almost certainly 60Hz, so sports purists and competitive gamers should look elsewhere). Brightness levels are unknown – crucial for bright rooms. Build quality on budget Finlux sets is typically adequate rather than premium.
At £86.25, this sits at the sweet spot for secondary TVs, student accommodation, or kitchens where you don't need cutting-edge picture quality. Against new-in-box 32-inch alternatives at similar prices, the Fire TV integration is genuinely valuable because you're not paying extra for a stick or box. That's where the real saving lies. If you're after the main lounge TV and watch a lot of sport or play games, stretch to a Full HD set. Otherwise, this is honest value.
