When choosing a TV for the kitchen, first determine the desired diagonal. For a small kitchen, it is better to choose 22 inches, for larger rooms, models with a diagonal of 24 to 28 inches are suitable. Consider the installation location, equipment dimensions. Sound level in a small space does not play a significant role. Not everyone needs smart TV either. Based on such selection principles, I have prepared TOP-9 models for 2020 that are ideal for the kitchen. The rating of the best includes TVs for the kitchen with different resolutions, differing in diagonal, equipment and cost.
