How big is a 24 inch TV with the frame and stand?
The 24 inch figure covers the glass only. Frames, stands and depth vary by model, and they decide whether a TV fits your wall. Here are the real measurements of popular 24 inch TVs, from each maker's spec sheet.
Each model name links to its maker's spec sheet. Prices open on Amazon (affiliate links).
What did the real models show?

Without its stand, the Vizio VHQ24M-1007 is the thinnest at 2.6 in6.6 cm deep. At the other end, the Vizio VHD24M-0810 is 3.2 in8.1 cm deep.
Weights run from 4.85 lb2.2 kg for the Vizio VHQ24M-1007 to 5.62 lb2.5 kg for the Philips 24PHS6000/12. A mount rated for 6 lb2.7 kg or more covers the weight of every model here.
On their stands, they sit 0.8 in2.1 cm to 2.0 in5.2 cm taller, which matters under a shelf or a window. Vizio does not list a stand width for the VHD24M-0810 and VHQ24M-1007.

How we measure
Screen width = diagonal x a / sqrt(a^2 + b^2) and height = diagonal x b / sqrt(a^2 + b^2) for an a:b screen. Viewing angle = 2 x arctan(half the screen width / distance). Pixel visibility uses 1 arcminute, the limit of 20/20 vision.
