11 best TVs for the kitchen

For quite a long time already, many Russians want to have a TV in each room, with the possible exception of a bathroom. Some people at one time managed to find a place in the kitchen for a paunchy TV set created using kinescopic technology. Now everything is much simpler - models with a liquid crystal screen do not take up much space. In this regard, we decided to talk about the best TVs, primarily intended for use in the kitchen.

How to choose a TV for the kitchen

If you think about it, then when choosing a TV for the kitchen you need to focus on slightly different parameters than when buying a device for a living room or a children's room. It is unlikely that your kitchen has a huge area, in connection with which you immediately need to cut off the options, the screen diagonal of which exceeds 28 inches. You should also think about how you will mount the device. If there is a free wall, then make sure that the wall mount is supported by the purchased model. If you are going to put the TV in the locker, on the fridges or anywhere else, then arrange a traditional version with a stand.

And how to determine the size of the TV for the kitchen? To do this, you need to focus on the area of ​​the room:

1. 6 m² - arrange a TV with a screen diagonal from 18 to 20 inches;
2. From 7 to 10 m² - you need a TV with a diagonal of the display from 20 to 23 inches;
3. 10 to 16 m² - fit a TV with a screen diagonal from 23 to 26 inches;
4. Over 16 m² - you are lucky, you need to push off from the 27-inch diagonal.

Of course, these are only approximate parameters. In fact, it all depends on where in the dining table, as well as the location of the TV. But with what you can not argue, it is with the fact that the model being purchased for the kitchen must have maximum viewing angles. They are provided by IPS-matrix, as well as screens, created by similar technology. And it is better to come to the store, assessing the viewing angles yourself - in this regard, you shouldn’t believe anyone’s words. In all kinds of reviews it can be written that there are no problems with viewing angles, but in fact it turns out that there are still some distortions in the color rendition.

Perhaps these are the main criteria for choosing a TV for the kitchen. About Smart TV is worth thinking at the very least. As for the screen resolution, then with a small diagonal, you are completely satisfied with 720p. Do not forget that the analog signal has ceased to be relevant, therefore it is desirable that the TV supports DVB-T2 standard (or DVB-C in the case of connection to a cable operator). There is no need to bother about the number of connectors - it is unlikely that you will place additional devices in the kitchen.

Separately, we note that there are so-called embedded televisions. They are embedded, for example, in the door of the cabinet. But in the Russian stores to find such devices is almost impossible, so in our rating we will tell only about one such model.

Best compact TVs for small kitchens (up to 22 inches)

Samsung UE22H5600

Rating: 4.9

A small TV, the screen size of which does not exceed 22 inches (56 cm). The device has a modern appearance, offering not the widest framing and elegant stand, painted in silver color. This device cannot be called cheap - in the Russian retail they are asked for 15 thousand rubles. In this regard, it is not surprising that there is a Smart TV here. This feature will allow you to abandon the use of your smartphone in the kitchen, quickly reading the news and fresh arrival in online cinemas using a TV. Connecting to the router via Wi-Fi - pull the network cable is not necessary. Another product can boast a decent amount of connectors - on the back panel you can find a headphone jack, two HDMI inputs and the same number of USB ports. Everything is in order at the TV and with a digital TV tuner - terrestrial and cable standards are supported, only the satellite was left behind.

Perhaps the most important advantage of the Samsung UE22H5600 is the display - it has Full HD resolution, and its refresh rate has been brought to 100 Hz. It is a pity that the sound does not fit the screen. Two speakers are built into the TV, but the power of each does not exceed 3 watts. Surprisingly, this is the only significant disadvantage of the device, if we forget about the price.

LG 22LH450V

Rating: 4.8

And this is a relatively inexpensive TV, the main feature of which is the maximum viewing angles. They are provided by a 21.5-inch IPS-panel, which is also capable of boasting with full HD resolution. Not bad for a device whose value does not exceed 11 thousand rubles. Please note that the scan rate here is standard. However, with such a small size it does not disappoint at all.

This device can recognize any standard of digital TV, even satellite DVB-S2. It should be noted that only one TV tuner is present here, so if there are different antennas, you will have to make a choice in favor of some one. The device also includes two speakers with a power of 5 W each - typical acoustics for such a small TV, in the kitchen it is quite enough. It is unlikely that in such conditions will be made claims to the number of connectors. But you have to admit that one HDMI jack and one USB port are not enough for, for example, a children's room.

The LG 22LH450V is one of the lightest TVs in our rating. Its weight is only 3 kg, and this is taking into account the stand! That is, even a fragile girl can lift the device and place it on the table.

Samsung T22E310EX

Rating: 4.8

Outwardly, this TV will not appeal to everyone. Too wide of his frame, painted in the usual black color. However, the fact that there is a 22-inch (56 cm) matrix with a resolution of Full HD is much more important. On this screen, the picture seems to be very detailed. At the same time, it can be clearly seen from any angle, which is especially important when using such a device in the kitchen. You can not find fault with the brightness of the backlight of this screen.But the response time turned out to be too long - it reaches 8 ms. But no one will connect the game console to the kitchen TV, as hardly anyone will try to watch high-quality video files. When watching digital TV for a long response time, almost no attention is paid. By the way, cable and terrestrial standards are supported here, a satellite is required for the satellite.

On the back of the device there are two HDMI connectors and one USB port. There are also obsolete analog jacks - for example, SCART. Do not forget the manufacturer and headphone jack. It is unlikely that it will come in handy in the kitchen, but it’s far from a fact that the TV will stay in this room forever.

Unfortunately, many small screen TVs have too weak speakers at their disposal. The Samsung T22E310EX is exactly the case. The total power of the speaker system is only 6 watts. Of course, there is an optical output for connecting speakers. But who will install them in the kitchen? Also, some buyers find fault with the lack of Smart TV - many have become accustomed to smart features in the very different electronics.

Philips 22PFS4022

Rating: 4.7

The screen diagonal of this TV is 21.5 inches (55 cm). Chinese brand owners ordered LCD panel production from a third-party supplier. They were not mistaken with the choice - the display was created using IPS technology, so the viewing angles turned out to be maximum, and it is difficult to find fault with the quality of color reproduction. Please note that the resolution of the LCD panel is 1920x1080 pixels. On this screen, movies and photos look perfect - in short, media content contained on a connected USB flash drive. And when watching television, absolutely all his shoals are noticeable. By the way, the device is supported by absolutely all standards of digital TV - both on-air, and cable, and satellite. That is, for the owner of such a device an article we wrote earlier The best digital consoles and receivers will be completely irrelevant. It's nice that there are two independent TV tuners. This allows you to connect an indoor antenna or cable in addition to the satellite dish.

The weight of this TV is only 2.6 kg. The stand is made of plastic, and therefore it weighs only 50 g. On the back of the device you can find the headphone jack, as well as some other connectors - for example, SCART, a pair of HDMI inputs and one USB port. In short, a good set even for a child’s room, bedroom or living room, not to mention the kitchen option. Partly, precisely because of the number of connectors, the device got into our rating.

This TV costs about 12 thousand rubles. In this regard, the product could not get a number of drawbacks. And if the standard frequency can be spit, then weak speakers slightly disappoint. And the optical audio output does not save, because there is no place for speakers in the kitchen. However, we will not scare you - in relative silence, the TV is heard very well.

Toshiba 22S1650EV

Rating: 4.6

It is impossible not to mention in our rating about the excellent TV produced by Toshiba.From the above devices, this model has a very thin frame. Also a bit unusual is the stand. Otherwise, this is a typical LCD TV for the kitchen, which has relatively modest characteristics, and which is sold for about 10 thousand rubles. For example, the 22-inch display used here offers only HD resolution. However, in the kitchen this will be quite enough. It is unlikely that the buyer will complain about the refresh rate of the screen, which is 50 Hz. The viewing angles are close to the maximum, so you can see what is happening from anywhere in the kitchen.

Such an inexpensive TV could not get the support of Smart TV. If you want to watch a particular movie, you will first have to download it to a USB flash drive, the connector for which is present here in a single copy. Another product has two HDMI inputs, one VGA connector and even an Ethernet port. The latter is essentially only needed for software updates. In short, the buyer, he will not be used absolutely never. But the holes for mounting on the wall may well be involved. The TV turned out to be very light, so in theory it can be hung even on a fairly large cabinet door, which is part of the kitchen unit.

The device does not support satellite standard television. As for DVB-T2 and DVB-C, there are no problems with their recognition. The sound here is derived from two speakers with a total power of 8 watts.

The best TVs for the kitchen with a screen diagonal of up to 28 inches

Samsung T27H390SI

Rating: 4.9

A very unusual TV with a 27-inch display. It differs from previous models with its stand, which turned out to be quite high. Also, the product has a very thin frame, and the thickness of the device can not be called as much as large. But the price tag does not beat records on minimalism - for this model, Russian sellers are asking about 18 thousand rubles. But the lack of serious savings allowed the manufacturer to introduce support for Smart TV here. And one cannot say that the Tizen operating system often slows down - it is noticeable that a good processor and a decent amount of RAM are hidden under the TV case. Although we will not argue that there is no brake at all.

The display installed here has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. There are no problems with viewing angles. Also, the buyer should be pleased with the sound, since the total power of the two speakers is 10 watts. For the kitchen this option is more than enough. As for the digital TV tuner, it supports the DVB-T2 and DVB-C standards. Overboard was only the satellite standard, in the case of a dish, you will have to think about connecting the receiver. By the way, for connecting external equipment, two HDMI inputs and some analog connectors are used here. Equipped with a TV and USB-port, which is connected to a flash drive or an external hard drive.

Perhaps, the Japanese manufacturer has turned out a good and memorable device. It may well be a decoration for any kitchen. You can chase the creators only for using an external power supply. However, this can not be considered a disadvantage - you just need to be prepared for the presence of such.

LG 24MT58VF-PZ

Rating: 4.8

One of the cheapest TVs equipped with 24-inch IPS-panel. In Russian stores, this model can be bought for 13 thousand rubles, and sometimes cheaper. But the device got into our rating not only due to the affordable price tag. Almost all other characteristics should please the buyer. For example, the screen of this TV has a resolution of Full HD, which allows you to watch movies with high details. Well, the used production technology says about the maximum viewing angles. Due to this, many people install this device in the kitchen.

As expected, the creation of LG has at its disposal a digital TV tuner. Unlike competitors with a similar price tag, this model supports absolutely all standards - from on-air DVB-T2 to satellite DVB-S2. Allows the device to watch content located on a USB drive. Also, you can connect a game console or some other equipment to the TV using a pair of HDMI connectors. Available here and connecting headphones, which, however, is not too important for the kitchen.

This model does not have any significant flaws. South Koreans even took care of the good sound, introducing into their creation a pair of speakers with a power of 5 watts each. You can only regret the complete absence of intelligent functionality. But nothing else to expect from a TV with such a price tag and not worth it.

Philips 24PFT4032

Rating: 4.7

TV, which has now become quite rare. However, if you find it on sale, and even at a very low price, you can make a purchase without hesitation. The device has a screen with a diagonal of 23.6 inches (exactly 60 cm). The display is made by IPS technology, which indicates the maximum viewing angles. But in the kitchen, the TV will look perfect not only because of this, but also because of the body painted white. Nothing bad can be said about the resolution - it is 1920x1080 pixels. It is a pity that the scan rate here is standard. However, in the kitchen, this option will not exactly worry.

This device is great for watching on-air and cable television. It is deprived only of support for the satellite standard DVB-S2. That is, watching satellite TV is only possible through the receiver. Interestingly, the device has at its disposal FM-radio, which saves the kitchen from an additional device (if, of course, you still used the radio). Unfortunately, the creators decided to save on sound. Music is heard clearly, but loud it can not be called.

It remains to add that the TV includes two HDMI-connectors, a headphone jack and a USB port. This product with its stand weighs no more than 3.3 kg. Smart functionality, as easy to guess, is not here.

It must be admitted that this model came to our rating primarily due to the white color of the case and high-quality display. The rest of the characteristics of the device does not hit.

Samsung UE28J4100A

Rating: 4.7

Another small TV, primarily intended for use in the kitchen.It has a familiar design, its body is painted in a typical black color. This device is sold for about 14-15 thousand rubles, while its screen has only HD resolution. Why, then, he got into our rating? Perhaps because of its durability. South Koreans know a lot about the creation of LCD TVs, so it is unlikely that in the coming years you will encounter a breakdown of this model. High build quality allows the device to work perfectly even when there is a large amount of steam in the kitchen. And you can hear it well even while washing dishes - for this you should thank a couple of speakers with a total power of 10 watts.

By the way, to the LCD display installed here it is impossible to present any significant claims. Yes, its resolution is not high. But the manufacturer has increased the frequency of sweep to 100 Hz, with the result that the action scenes look very smoothly. Of course, for this you will have to watch content from a USB flash drive, since the device cannot draw the frames of digital TV correctly. Still it is necessary to note rather wide viewing angles. As mentioned above, this is one of the most important criteria for choosing a TV for the kitchen.

The device includes a digital TV tuner. It supports the DVB-T2 and DVB-C standards, only the satellite signal was left behind. We warn you at once: the analog TV device shows in a disgusting quality, so it is better not to watch it. Of course, you can connect to the TV and additional equipment, using a pair of HDMI-connectors. But will you bother with this? Perhaps, only a smart set-top box will find its place in the kitchen, since the TV itself is not supported by Smart TV.

Akai LES-28A67W

Rating: 4.6

Another white TV in our rating. It is much more common - to buy it is not difficult, since the release of the device is still ongoing. For 12 thousand rubles. The device offers, as it seems, the maximum possible. Among located on the rear panel connectors can find three HDMI-jack and a pair of USB-ports. Another important feature of the TV is support for Smart TV. The operating system here is Android. It is necessary to recognize that from time to time the user will encounter slowdowns. However, if the device is used in the kitchen, then such moments will be extremely rare. Pleasant to please and speaker system. It consists of two speakers with a total power of 12 watts. Very bad with relatively small size of the device itself!

Of course, such an inexpensive TV could not become a treasure trove of virtues alone. It is impossible not to notice that a TV tuner cut in its capabilities is used here - it does not have the support of the satellite standard DVB-S2. The 28-inch screen, whose resolution is only 1366x768 pixels, may disappoint even more. With such a diagonal would like to enjoy a full Full HD. And the response time at the display turned out to be too long, which is why some blurring of the picture starts when the action is shown. But you can’t find fault with the viewing angles - they turned out to be, if not maximal, then close to that.

Perhaps, Akai LES-28A67W still deserves a place in the kitchen. Moreover, someday it can be rearranged in another room, then using the functionality of the full program. Finally, we note that the weight of the TV is 3.6 kg - this is an adequate parameter for a device equipped with a 28-inch screen.

Best TV for embedding in kitchen furniture

AVEL AVS220K (Magic Mirror)

Rating: 4.8

Definitely the most expensive TV in our rating. He is also the most unusual. In his name is not for nothing that the magic mirror is indicated. The fact is that by default the device really represents a mirror surface. If you turn on the TV, an image will appear in its center. A mirror in the kitchen never hurts.

The device is embedded. That is, it can be installed in any niche. If only access to the connectors remained - there are quite a lot of them installed here, although not a record number. Despite the relatively small display hiding under the mirror, the image is displayed with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. This suggests that the device is unlikely to become obsolete in the coming years. Still it is impossible not to notice that the TV has a waterproof design. This means that it can be used even in the kitchen, devoid of exhaust - steam device just does not hurt. And here there is support for absolutely all standards of digital TV, including satellite DVB-S2. As for the viewing angle, it is 170 degrees. Not the maximum, but even in the kitchen this option should suit.

The sad thing is that such an original TV will not afford everyone. For this model in the Russian retail ask for more than 36 thousand rubles. For the same money, you can buy a larger and more functional LCD TV. But you need to understand that it will definitely not be embedded and waterproof.

Conclusion

Now you know everything about kitchen tvs. You got acquainted with the main selection criteria, and also learned about the best models among those present on the Russian market. Now it remains only to determine what amount you are willing to spend on such a device.
