A kitchen TV can make your cooking and dining experience more enjoyable, whether you’re following recipes, watching shows, or staying informed. Choosing the right size, placement, and type of TV is important for both functionality and style. Below, we answer common kitchen TV questions to help you select the perfect television.
What size TV should I get for my kitchen?
- Small kitchens (6–9 m²): 19–20ʺ diagonal is ideal.
- Medium kitchens (10–15 m²): 22–24ʺ diagonal works well.
- Large kitchens (18 m²+): 32ʺ or larger, following the same considerations as other rooms.
What size TV for the kitchen counter?
- Thin models up to 22–24ʺ diagonal are preferred for counters. Consider the size of your kitchen and the table or cabinet where the TV will sit. Replacing a cabinet door with a bright, hi-resolution, water-resistant TV is also a stylish option. Measure your cabinet carefully to choose the right fit.
What size TV for the kitchen wall?
- The recommended wall-mounted kitchen TV size is typically 20–40ʺ. For very large kitchens, treat the space like a living room: avoid placing a large screen too close to the seating area, as it can affect viewing quality and strain your eyes.
Where should a TV be placed in the kitchen?
Common options include:
- Wall-mounted with a bracket.
- Installed in a niche.
- Integrated into cabinetry, aligned with other appliances like the hood, microwave, or oven for a sleek, unified look.
Where should you not put a TV in your kitchen?
Avoid placing the TV too low or too high to prevent neck strain. Keep it away from the stove and sink to protect it from heat, steam, and water. Our Kitchen Cabinet TVs are designed to withstand these conditions, so placement near typical kitchen hazards is less of a concern.
Under-cabinet televisions are popular, but they block a lot of counter space even if they don’t sit on the actual counter. And small TVs on the counter obviously take up plenty of counter space as well.
This is why we offer Kitchen Cabinet TVs.
What if I want to put the TV above the refrigerator?
While placing a TV above the refrigerator can save space, standard appliances might have issues with vibration or reduced efficiency. Our TVs, however, are engineered to handle such placements safely, with no restrictions on mounting above the refrigerator.
