Gaming TV/monitor for kids bedroom

Hi all, does anyone have any recommendations for a budget-friendly screen (either TV or monitor) for a kids bedroom, mainly to be used with an Xbox? Size-wise most tv's seem to start at 32" which seems big for a kids gaming set up, and when I look at monitors, the sizes seems to be better (eg. 24") but then the tech specs start to bamboozle me, in terms of screen quality, refresh rates etc.! Any thoughts would be very gratefully received.

    Haha! Fair point. I was thinking up to £200.

    When you say it's for Xbox, which one,

    Original Xbox,
    Xbox 360,
    Xbox one,
    Xbox one X,
    Xbox series S
    Xbox series X

    If it's a one X or newer, you Ideally want something that does 4k resolution at 120hz or higher refresh rate.

    If that's too much money, look at a 2k/1440p monitor.

    Failing that a 1080p one. But this will limit the resolution and could result in a poor experience. But then again a young child may not notice the difference.

    Thanks for your reply. I do appreciate it!

    It’s for an Xbox One (for now) so I can probably get away with a cheaper screen.
