12 best TVs in the kitchen
Small spool, yes roads: how to choose a small TV
Author: Oleg Yasinsky
The choice of TV for the kitchen can not be called a trivial affair. In addition to the small diagonal, here you should consider a lot of factors: the angle of view, the thickness of the case, the design suitable for a kitchen or an existing home appliances design and so on. What may seem irrelevant in relation to a large "room" TV, here has a chance to be decisive.
So, what was prepared in 2018 by the world's leading manufacturers of televisions for our such different cuisines?
How to choose a TV in the kitchen?
Diagonal
Size does matter, only in our case more is not always better. Rather relevant compactness and ease of placement. After all, in the kitchen, the TV should be at the same time in the zone of comfortable visibility, not limit the useful space and not create interference. Accordingly, the "dance" is necessary on the size of the room:
- For small kitchens with an area of 6-9 m², models with a diagonal of 19-20ʺ will do;
- For average 10-15 m² - 22-24ʺ;
- For large ones from 18 m² you can consider screens of 32ʺ or more, but then the principle of choice will be the same as for any other room.
Viewing angles
The most important parameter for a good kitchen TV, because unlike a hall or a living room, you often have to look at the screen from different angles. And it is unlikely that anyone will like the eye irritated distorted picture. It is quite comfortable when the viewing angles are horizontally and vertically from 170 °, while the best indicator today is 178 ° / 178 °.
Screen resolution
We will proceed from the fact that the vast majority of kitchens are best suited for 19-25ʺ TVs, for which 2 formats are available: HD-ready 720p (1280x720 pixels) and Full HD 1080p (1920x1080 pixels). The first option will be quite enough for comfortable viewing of digital or analog television broadcasting, the second will appeal to fans to watch high-quality video from external sources.
Functionality
Just like their kinescopic prototypes, modern LED TVs for the kitchen are able to receive on-air analogue TV channels with the help of a connected antenna. But then they are modern, so that this simple action is not limited.
Some useful additional features:
- Digital broadcast support. "Analogue" is already of little relevance and the image quality on LCD screens is traditionally low. Therefore, the minimum necessary requirement for a tuner is the ability to receive digital terrestrial DVB-T2 channels. Standards for digital cable DVB-C and satellite television DVB-S2 may also be available.
- USB port. Allows you to connect hard drives, flash drives to view videos from them, photos, audio files or record live broadcasts.
- Smart tv Wi-Fi enabled. The presence of such a platform turns TV into a full-fledged multimedia center with wireless Internet access. Being engaged in kitchen affairs, you can simultaneously watch movies, series, listen to music on the network, or, for example, easily find the right recipes.
Installation Methods
All TVs by default are equipped with supports for easy placement on the table, nightstand, shelf. In some models, they can be transformed into a suspension device. However, for the kitchen are often in demand and special brackets, providing the necessary distance from the wall, tilt, rotate the display. They are purchased separately, and the appropriate format is indicated in the specification for the TV.

Opens our ranking of the best TVs for the kitchen an excellent compact model from a reputable manufacturer. Without special functional delights, but at a relatively affordable price. Of course, you can find TV almost half the price, but comparing the quality of LG and the products of most Chinese-Turkish-Russian companies, even if they are produced under the logo of the past, will not be in favor of the latter. What does the South Korean brand offer: a neat and pretty device with a 21.5-inch screen, whose resolution is 1920 × 1080 pixels, which corresponds to the standard of Full HD. Already not bad. Next, the matrix type is IPS. That is, the most important criterion for the kitchen is truly good viewing angles both horizontally and vertically (178 ° / 178 °). Smart platform and network connections are not supported. But the reception of digital television broadcasting is available in terrestrial, cable and satellite formats - DVB-T2 / C / S2. For external connections there is an HDMI v1.3 connector, a USB port. Main advantages:

Simple, externally pleasant TV with a normal IPS matrix. Shows quite decent, comfortable corners. For the kitchen just right. Of the real competitors, there are only analogues with Smart, but I don’t need it, that's why I didn’t pay again. |

One of the most attractive in terms of price and quality of small TVs. Korean brand, the production of the well-known plant "Telebalt", in the Kaliningrad region. Hyundai H-LED22ET2001 looks quite stylish and modern, which is no less important for the kitchen than for other premises. The screen size is 22 inches, and since the frames are rather thin, the overall dimensions are relatively small (at the level of "old men" 17-19ʺ with a wide edging). High resolution - Full HD 1080p. The brightness value in the specification is 180 cd / m², the contrast is 4.000: 1, the response time is 6.5 ms. The reported angles are 176 ° / 176 °, which is quite realistic in practice. The digital tuner is absolutely universal DVB-T2 / C / S2 (air, cable, satellite). The sound, unfortunately, is rather weak - 2x3 watts. However, the problem is solved, since the rear panel has a stereo output for connecting external speakers and a Jack 3.5 mm for headphones. Main advantages:

Normal inexpensive tv. Put in the kitchen right on the countertop. Viewing angles, in principle, satisfied. The image is not really perfect, but for this price is very bearable. Columns are not always enough, because I connected the old computer. |

Russian TV brand produced in the Kaliningrad region. It is quite inexpensive, but despite this it shows very well. Again, the viewing angles are stated at 178 ° / 178 °. The screen size of this TV - 20 inches - is relevant for small kitchens, where there is an acute shortage of free space. The display resolution is 1366x768 pixels or HD 720p. Immediately it should be noted that there is a similar Full HD version of a slightly larger size - Polarline 22PL12TC. And the price tag is slightly higher. As for the tuner, it catches the digital signal of terrestrial and cable standards DVB-T2 / C. Available slot CI +. External sources of multimedia content can be connected via HDMI 1.4a, USB 2.0, AV, VGA interfaces. Audio outputs are represented by a coaxial jack, a headphone jack, which can be easily adapted to connect external acoustics. Main advantages:

No rating today can’t do without LG TVs, and ours is no exception. Model 24MT58VF-PZ can be considered the best option for the kitchen for several reasons. This is a rather nice design, high-quality assembly, and excellent image transfer with a resolution up to 1920x1080 pixels (Full HD). In addition, the price tag is not predatory. The 24ʺ (60 cm) diagonal display with LED backlight and IPS matrix feature vibrant, vibrant colors and comfortable viewing angles of 178 ° / 178 °.

Again, LG with a few more simple features, but with the same cute and modern design. Black body, neat frame, comfortable and stylish stand Arc Line. In general, the TV and the kitchen will decorate, and the time for a meal, gathering speed will help. The price tag is neither large nor small, rather reasonable, corresponding to quality indicators. The screen of the LG 24TK410V-PZ is 23.6 inches. There is a larger version - 27.5ʺ, as well as similar in white design. Resolution - HD-Ready 720p. The type of matrix used here is WVA, which doesn’t harm the image naturalness, but the viewing angles are relatively comfortable, but not as wide as the IPS panels. So when choosing an installation site, this fact should be taken into account. In addition to the desktop, there is a wall placement, which requires a VESA 75x75 bracket. You can connect additional devices via HDMI, USB. The sound system consists of a pair of downward speakers of 5 watts each. Main advantages:

Bought into the kitchen. It is worth while near the wall directly on the table, the benefit of sufficient size. When the meter deviates by 1.5, the colors are distorted, but not so much that it is very much upset. The console is quite convenient, universal tuner. Connected cable - great! |

A small television receiver with a screen of 23.6 inches from a serious brand. True, he is not going to Malaysia, and certainly not in Japan, but in Belarus. Although made quite high quality, modern design, the price is adequate. In addition, it is worth noting the contrast and color reproduction parameters that are good for the budget class. HD 720p resolution for watching digital TV is enough. No Smart and Wi-Fi supported. And god with them. Panasonic in the field of "smart" platforms especially never stood out. There is a digital tuner with support for terrestrial and cable broadcasting DVB-T2 / C. For those who want more interfaces available for connecting external devices: HDMI 1.4a, USB 2.0. The power of a pair of front speakers is small - 6 watts. If this is not enough, you can use additional acoustics through a mini-jack 3.5 mm or coaxial digital output. Main advantages:

For a small room, the kitchen tv fits perfectly. In the summer will work out in the country. Everything is simple and clear, no frills. The image is completely satisfied. The sound is a bit weak, but quite normal. Of the problems: I did not find how convenient it is to edit the channels. |

The Samsung UE24H4070AU TV is far from new to the South Korean electronics industry, the year of launch in the 2014 series. This does not prevent the model from remaining one of the most popular in its class. The minimalistic design with glossy black frames is clearly ahead of time, and the functionality, by virtue of simplicity, does not imply the use of complex “stuffing” and some super-advanced software. A 24-inch screen with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels (HD 720p) is quite sufficient for a medium-sized kitchen. With a regular central stand-foot there will be no problems with the desktop installation, there is also the possibility of wall hanging. The digital tuner is designed for all currently available DVB-T2 (broadcast) / С (cable) / S2 (broadcast) television broadcast formats. Multimedia content can be played from external sources via an HDMI connection or an integrated USB media player. Clear Motion Rate 100 is supported, which makes the display of moving objects smoother. Just do not be confused with the frequency of updating the matrix. Some stores naively “draw” 100 Hz. For an entry level model ?! Of course, in real standard 50. Main advantages:

Nice-looking TV. A little bit thick, not scary. The image suits the sound power for the kitchen is enough. With digital channels not immediately, but figured out, set up. The stand seems to be some kind of flimsy, I think to take a wall bracket. |

Philips TV in the consumer community is generally taken to blame for the frankly "brake" Smart. Well, in the case of 24PHS4032, the problem disappears by itself - there is no such platform here! Model of 2017 in the case of white color. Made in a modern "thin" design and pleases quite realistic image. Screen size - 24 inches (61 cm). The resolution for this size is normal - 1366x768 (HD 720 r). Matrix - IPS with honest viewing angles of 178 ° / 178 °. The capabilities of the tuner imply the reliable reception of analog, digital terrestrial, cable and satellite broadcasting (DVB-T / T2 / T2-HD / C / S / S2). To play high-quality multimedia content from Flash drives, there is a USB port, for external players and set-top boxes - 2 HDMI connectors with EasyLink. Only the low-power sound system does not inspire confidence. However, the situation can be corrected with the help of additional acoustics, for the connection of which linear (mini Jack) and optical audio outputs are provided. Main advantages:

Its version of "smart" TV, suitable for placement in the kitchen, is another Korean brand. The model is good in design and technical equipment. The only thing that can be a little upset is that LG prefers compact Smart panels to produce HD 720p display resolution. Screen - 24ʺ, matrix type - WVA. In the assortment of the company there is a larger version, with a screen of 27.5ʺ. Modern trends from leading manufacturers - the classic small-sized TVs are being replaced by more versatile devices 2 in 1. Here and LG 24MT49S-PZ, in addition to basic duties, can also act as a computer monitor.

An excellent small TV, if you do not impose requirements on it, as to expensive large TV. Looks good, shows ok. Smart is more for IP TV and not very "heavy" videos. Otherwise - reboot and the inscription "not enough memory." |

Also, the TV is equipped with a DVB-T2 tuner, which allows you to watch digital terrestrial TV (which is very important for a kitchen TV - it is not always possible to dissolve a cable or satellite signal to different rooms).

Which TV for the kitchen is better to buy?
When choosing a TV for the kitchen in the first place should correctly assess their needs and their financial capabilities. Do you need a fancy model, if you actually watch only five main channels? And is it worth overpaying for a promoted brand if you can get a TV with the same characteristics, but much cheaper? Before you buy, be sure to ask yourself these questions.
