I also love a TV in the kitchen for the same reason. Have had one for a long time in the kitchen. Mine is on now. Hubby is watching some yucky testosterone show in the living room. They do sell under cabinet mounted flip down TVs. Maybe you can put it under one of the corner cabinets. I just wouldn't put it close to the stove. Even better if you can find one that swivels you could put it to the left of the sink.

Thank you, Chess -- But I really want one....

Functionthenlook -- Really!!!!!! I'm going to google that right now!! Thankyou

I would attach one to the wall under the cabinet to the left of the sink. Put it on a arm like suggested above. I have a computer in my kitchen in love it. The monitor is attached to the wall and swivels out. Mine is next to the stove.

Look on Amazon for ideas. I was just looking at them the other day.

Just get a nice little flat screen, put it in the corner on the counter. Hide the dvr box and have the audio guy get you an IR repeater. Even THAT small size is hard to find. Don't bother with a flip down, it will be down all the time anyway ! Get a 19 inch.......and get watching. It's YOUR kitchen : )

We had one in our beach house kitchen installed under the counter in the corner. I took it out because we don't watch much TV but it was a very convenient install if you want one in the kitchen. Sorry I don't have a picture of it.

Thank you, Chess -- But I really want one....

Then get one, it's your kitchen. ;)

how about the ones where you use the window for the screen? i think you are using a projector to run it. you can also use windows as computer screens. then you could have on any of the windows you change.

I have the under-cabinet kind (has a radio too) -- works great and allows the person in the kitchen to watch the same show as the person in the LR, or something different, and you can hide it away when company is over...

Okay--time to do some work...

Just google for it... under cabinet TV...Simple. Choose one. Done.

Just skip any that are a combo tv and dvd/blu-ray - one of them always breaks before the other and Murphy’s law says it will be the tv. ;)

We have one on the counter, in the corner (between the stove and the sink).

Put the cable in the cabinet, small hole at the back, or even a grommet in the counter top is fine if you can get it from below,. Put the BOX....anywhere!! Get an IR repeater. The cable/dvr box can be in the darn basement for heavens sake. Because you're gonna want the 19 inch tv...lol and you know it.

I primarily use the TV when I'm prepping or cooking (stove top), so I placed it for a good view from those locations. I don't have cable, so I just have an electrical cord and a USB cable from my Chromecast, both of which plug into an outlet on the wall there.

We have an Insignia 16" in our kitchen. We've had a kitchen TV forever...a must for me. For years I had a white, 9" Panasonic. It still works great but isn't a flat screen. Its depth took up a lot of counter space.

@Toronto Veterinarian, if you only ever watch streaming media, then various computing devices might be a better fit than a traditional TV. I don't usually have a need for a TV in the kitchen, but when I want to look at online recipes or want to be able to take notes, I sometimes bring my convertible Chromebook Plus. It's cheap. It has a touch screen (and stylus). It can stream media and access web pages. And it can be configured as either a laptop, as a TV (when in "tent" configuration), or as a tablet. The only downside is that the screen could be bigger.

I am sure, with a little bit of research, you could also find a way to permanently attach it to kitchen cabinetry, if that's what you prefer.

On a related note, I love having a Google Home in the kitchen. It's so useful to be able to say "OK Google, set a timer for 5 minutes and a second timer for 15 minutes", or "add flour to the shopping list", or "what is 2oz in grams?".

We have TiVo boxes (with cable cards) on our TV's. The one connected to the kitchen TV sits on its side, behind the TV.

FWIW, our kitchen TV is a flat screen 32" SONY (KDL32W650A). DH squashed down the metal stand supplied with the TV a little so it would fit under the upper cabinets (with light rails).

"@Toronto Veterinarian, if you only ever watch streaming media, then various computing devices might be a better fit than a traditional TV."

Yeah, and I was considering that, until I realized I had an unused TV set sitting around. I thought about selling the TV, but they are really so cheap these days that it almost isn't worth it. I love your idea of using Google Home to help in the kitchen.

I'm not big on hiding things, even though the only design element in my kitchen that's black is the danged TV. The soapstone is very green, though it doesn't show up in the pictures: http://jcskitchen.net/images/Finished/Captioned/42%20Tour%204%20Advantium%20and%20coolers.jpg  The second picture shows the box right on the eating surface (though the current one is much smaller and black): http://jcskitchen.net/images/Finished/Captioned/48%20DVR.jpg  The TV itself is on a slate lazy susan so it can be seen from the prep/cooking areas or from the sit down and cut kale chips, pit cherries, trim artichokes spot. It's right there in the middle of the action and works really well there.

It's hard to imagine a black TV in your white kitchen, but once there's color in there the TV will look less stark.

If you want to watch it on the island or the counter, go for it. Put the jacks, etc., in place there. Get a smart TV that will also do streaming. They're light enough that you can always hide it in the pantry when you don't want to see it. I used to do that. I don't bother any more. :)

I am looking at 24" led tvs and the dimensions are: 6.4 x 22.1 x 15.1 in. I am hoping it will fit under my new cabinets since I read that we should have 18" of height under the upper cabinet to the top of the counter. (I'm double-checking) But if you swing it up to lay against the underside of the upper cabinet, the upper cabinet has to stick out at least 15.1" or it won't lay flat, right?

Thank you all! I am going to put it between the stove and sink so I can see it while washing dishes, cooking, or sitting at the island. Even though I can remove it when people come over, I'm sure I won't.. Thank you all!!!!

I love my T.V in my kitchen and it is a smart T.V so I can go on the internet to check out recipes too.

As others have noted get a large tablet. You can watch shows and also use to search web and great recipe book. They sell mounts to flip up under cabs or even to be built into cab faces or walls.

You eliminate the cabe or input wiring. Also in some areas you need a dedicated cable box.

Go tablet.

I will look into a Tablet. I must admit, I've never had one, but I'll check it out. Thank you!

I have mine in the corner to the left of your stove. i watch it from the island and while i am cooking.

Here is a
picture of a TV inserted into the island counter. Perhaps this may work for
you. If possible, you may try to set up the TV on a swivel-type arm or swivel counter
insert , so you may adjust the TV angle depending where you are
working at the counter or if you are sitting at the kitchen table.

Mine sits right on my island. Not the prettiest to look at but I love having it. It goes on every morning when I am packing lunches so I can check the weather.

I'm going to put mine right next to the sink so I can wash dishes, etc and watch my shows. I will look into putting the cable box somewhere else so it doesn't look too bad. I'm lost without a TV in the kitchen

Great question. I've always had a tv in the kitchen too. Our remodel is in progress and will look into the suggestions offered here!

Mines on a swing arm ..so I can see it from the sink ..just push it back when not in use !

Snaggy -- Swing arm under the cabinet?

I'd put it in the corner under the corner cabinet.

Or, the under cabinet ones look good.

I have mine across the room in the small sitting room adjacent to the kitchen. I'm like you. I need my TV on when I'm doing prep for cooking.

We've always had a TV in the kitchen. Previous TV was over my double ovens. New kitchen has ovens below the counter so not an option. Our solution was to design a wall cabinet which houses the MW behind an Aventos lift-up door with the TV in the space above. Our cabinets are inset and the cabinet is big enough for a 32". Yes. the TV will be partially covered when we lift the door to use the MW, but we are not big MW users, so did not want to invest in a MW drawer. When this MW breaks, it is an easy swap with another inexpensive MW. Thought about putting retractable doors for the TV, but truth be told they would never be closed. It's similar to this photo, but designed as a wall cabinet. The space above has a removable panel 5" back from the face of the cabinet which will hide the the outlet and cable stuff.

mjammjam ..No ...My swing arm is on the wall next to fridge freezer only place I could put it

I think the tablet is actually a great idea. You can move a tablet and stand wherever you want.

We are dealing with this issue in our kitchen planning as well. My wife loves watching the today show while fixing breakfast...

I was thinking a bit about using a 27" all in one PC in the little desk/phone area as a TV as well. It does do HDMI in, and I can remote the HDMI over cat6 wiring to a STB if the PC can't natively handle it. Not a lot of screen space, but I can feed the audio into into the speakers above so at least the sounds will be good.

I also like to watch TV in the kitchen!! I have been under construction and do not have one now. I'm totally lost and unaware of news and behind in all my shows. haha . 27" seems like a good size, but a tablet would be too small unless I was using it like an iPad. I want to sit at the table too to watch it...

If you made the glass cabinets smaller, you could place it in an upper to the left of the window. That way you wouldn’t lose counter space, and those at the island could enjoy it easier.

We put it in the wine hutch here to get it off of the counter and make it easy viewing from the breakfast bar area.
