Kitchen Flip Down TV

A kitchen flip down TV is a TV set that mounts under the cabinets in your kitchen, which can flip down when you want to watch it and flip up when you don’t. This type of TV is great for a small kitchen where there is no other place to put a TV. This type of kitchen TV is also great because it doesn’t take up counter space. Now you can watch all the TV shows you normally miss while you are in the kitchen cooking or washing dishes.

These kitchen flip down TV’s range in size from 8 to 10 inches and they range in price from around $200-$400 dollars. If you want them to have a built in DVD player or any other additions, they will cost more. Just because this type of kitchen TV is smaller and cheaper than the TV you have in your family room doesn’t mean that the picture is not as good. Quite the contrary, these TV’s are just as good and have just as clear of picture quality as any other television you have in your home. These TV’s are also available in HD and have LCD screens. Some of the top manufacturers make them, such as Sony and Audiovox.

It is a good idea to try to find a waterproof flip down kitchen TV as most of the time our counters are around our sink and stove. Even though they may be mounted under the cabinet, there is still a possibility they can get wet. Accidents happen, especially in the kitchen, and we want to make sure that our kitchen TV doesn’t get ruined in one of those accidents.

Make sure when you are purchasing your TV that the mount that attaches your TV under the counter is included. Otherwise, you will have to purchase it separately. They can start pretty cheap but also get expensive. Always remember when purchasing something like this, you get what you pay for. Therefore, if you pay for a cheap mount, it may not last long and you will end up buying another one. Also, make sure that the cabinet you are mounting your TV to be pretty thick on the bottom so that when you install the mount you don’t have screws sticking up into your cabinet.

A flip down kitchen TV can be great if you don’t want to eat in front of your TV in the family room. It is also good for when you have to be in your kitchen. For example, in the morning when you are getting breakfast before you leave for work, and you want to watch and see what the weather is going to be, you’ll be able to do it all. Instead of eating, then going to turn on the TV in another room, you can just use your flip down kitchen TV and do both - eat and hear the weather at the same time.

It may sound crazy to even want a TV in your kitchen. After all, we hear all the time that we should only let our children watch a small amount of TV each day. Do we really need a TV in the kitchen? That is the only room where the children go where they can have conversation. Why put a TV there? Just like anything else, this TV use can be controlled, and can be a convenience. Once you put a kitchen flip down TV in, you will wonder how you ever got along without one.
