In the main living space, smart TVs are becoming more standardized. Do you want to be able to access your streaming services? How about a web browser? Some smart TVs have that capability. Other features to consider include the number and placement of HDMI, USB, and/or ethernet ports, which might be useful if you want to plug in peripherals, such as laptops or gaming systems. Finally, another question would be whether Bluetooth connectivity is important to you and your family.
Where are you going to put it? Does it mount easily on the wall, or do you have to place it on a countertop? Can it rest on a base or a sturdy stand that can support an electronic device in a room that gets a lot of use—and foot traffic? If you need versatility with how the TV is going to exist in your space, it’s worth thinking through what will work best with your setup.

The kitchen is certainly not the place where an enormous, wall-dominating technological marvel is necessary, but modern flatscreen design means you can pack quite a bit of image space into a small package. We recommend a size of between about 20 and 40 inches. This of course depends on your kitchen size and layout: If you have a bigger space, or a breakfast nook/dining area that will share the TV, aim for the higher end of this range. In a more compact kitchen where you won’t be very far from the screen, a smaller screen is fine, but anything under 20 inches is more like a computer monitor that you’ll have to get right up close to to read text or make out details.

It all depends on your kitchen layout and size. If people gather around the island and that’s where you do most of your prep, and you’d like to have a TV close by to watch while you cook, then find a spot that works within eye level.
If your kitchen is older, smaller, and/or more traditional, space is likely a consideration. You could perhaps hide it in a little nook or shelf, such as one where you might normally tuck away a microwave. If your kitchen can accommodate it, you can hang it on the wall, a little higher than eye level, if you imagine people will be watching it while standing. Another popular move is to place it as though it’s just one of many appliances in the kitchen: Above a double oven, for example.
Buying a television is a little bit like an exercise in understanding acronyms. The main screen types we have included here are LCD and LED. It gets confusing, but technically speaking, LED displays are the same as LCD screens. However, LCD’s light source at the back of the screen is fluorescent, whereas LED displays use light-emitting diodes (hence, LEDs). An LED television also uses less power and typically is known for a brighter display with sharper contrast; the panels tend to be thinner, too.

Smart TVs—that is, ones that can connect to Wi-Fi and come pre-loaded with streaming services and other apps—come in lots and lots of different sizes. The smallest available smart TVs are 24 inches, with many brands and models available at that size. However, there is a range of tiny smart devices, like the Amazon Fire TV Stick and the Roku, that can plug into a TV of any size and let it use the full range of online content out there.
If you’d like the TV to be less conspicuous in the kitchen, you’re not alone. There are a few ways to deal with this issue. You can hide it behind a hidden panel or cabinet. You can obscure it behind a framed print or photo. Make it less conspicuous by positioning it on a shelf in your kitchen with other things, such as cookbooks, small potted plants, mugs, bowls, smaller appliances, or other kitchen essentials.
