Comparing Counter Top Versus Under Cabinet Televisions for the Kitchen
By Christina Mulberry
Families spend countless hours in the kitchen each day; preparing meals, eating, cleaning, or working at the table. Increasingly, we find that having a television in the kitchen is very handy. As with any purchase there are a number of things to consider when buying a TV for the kitchen but the first choice is generally a decision about which type of television we want; either a traditional CRT tube TV or a flat screen LCD. There are of course advantages and disadvantages with each. Shoppers can consider: -- Space: A CRT TV in the kitchen is most often used as a counter top TV while an LCD is often mounted under the cabinet. Clearly the CRT TV would require significantly more space and will not neatly fold up out of the way when not in use. If space is limited, an LCD then is the most obvious choice. -- Cost: Just as with any television, a CRT kitchen TV will cost less than a similarly sized LCD; generally 20-40% less. Thus if the budget is really tight, a counter top CRT TV will often be the one to select. -- Size: An under cabinet mount TV is generally kept to 7-13 inches in size whereas a counter top CRT TV allows something larger; 13-20" is typical. Knowing the distance from which you will be viewing the TV will help in deciding what size will be acceptable. Certainly the option of using a larger LCD as a counter top or wall mounted kitchen TV exists. Users need to be careful however to avoid splashes, exposure to too much moisture/steam or excessive heat and assure that the TV is safe from being knocked around. Cost of course would become more significant as well. -- Portability If an LCD TV is mounted under the cabinet it's unlikely you'll be moving it around for use in other rooms. Therefore, a counter top CRT TV would be a better choice if you wish to have the ability to move it to a guest room for a few days. -- Other features Generally, under cabinet mounted LCD TVs offer more features such as a timer, radio, weather information, built-in DVD player, and so forth so if these are desired, most consumers end up going the route of an LCD TV. Either choice, CRT or LCD TV can be a good choice but which is right for you is dependent upon your individual needs. |
