Yes—buy the Yamaha SR-C20A if you want a compact, simple soundbar for a small TV and your main goal is clearer dialogue and fuller everyday TV audio in a tight space. It is a small bar, roughly 23.6 inches wide and 2.5 inches high, so it fits well under many smaller TVs. It also has practical connections including HDMI ARC, optical input, analog input, and Bluetooth.

I would be more cautious if you want big home-theater impact, deep bass, Dolby Atmos-style surround effects, or the absolute best value for the money. The SR-C20A is better thought of as a space-saving TV-audio upgrade than a cinematic sound system.

Before buying, check the current price and confirm your TV has HDMI ARC or optical audio out. If it is priced competitively and you value compact size over maximum power, it is a sensible choice for a small TV.
