The kitchen is an ideal place to place a TV, because no matter how much we dream of a huge movie screen in the living room or bedroom, many of us spend the most time here. In addition, cooking, washing dishes and getting ready for work is always more fun with your favorite shows.However, it is better to approach the choice of a TV for this part of the apartment wisely, having thought in advance how much free space and money can be allocated to the device, because the category is much more diverse than it might seem.
The best options for kitchens tend to be small 22, 24, or 32-inch TVs. Models with such a diagonal take up very little space, but at the same time they show a large enough image to enjoy movies not only from a couple of steps, but also from several meters. Also on sale you can sometimes find 20-inch TVs, which will be an ideal solution for the smallest kitchens. At the same time, the miniaturization of devices does not prevent manufacturers from equipping them with the best basic capabilities of today. Therefore, many participants in the rating are supplemented with Smart TV, all kinds of interfaces for connecting third-party devices, and other useful options.
