our kitchen is in the stages of a remodel so now is the time for us to add any outlets, cable,internet etc

How do you have it mounted? I was interested in having it fold up under the cabinet when not in use

I'm a little biased against TV's in kitchens, I think they ruin the overall design. But why not just get a tablet to watch TV on instead of spending money installing a TV? It will end up being around the same size, and a tablet is moveable, and will probably end up being cheaper.

each to their own....I love a tv in our kitchen. We use our kitchen way more than just cooking and eating. I am also interested in most likely a 32 inch size, far larger than a tablet

32" TV is 20" high and under cabinet is usually 18"

If you want a TV there, you are going to need to eliminate the uppers and build cabinets around one of a specific size. You’re not fitting anything but a dinky little baby one under the cabinets, and then it will just get covered up with junk.

A friend had a small fold up TV in her kitchen. Definitely not as large as what you want. I would expect that size to sit on a counter/shelf.

We were just talking about this very issue. We are getting ready to buy a new house and were discussing where to put my existing small kitchen tv. After a bit of mulling it over, I think we've decided to use my kitchen tv as a monitor for a new computer, instead of as a kitchen tv.

Then I'll use my laptop for tv - since we're now on internet tv - with the added benefit that I can watch my laptop anywhere I want, not just in the kitchen.

Where is your MW? A MW and fridge have a symbiotic relationship. That counter is going to be a major landing spot for the fridge as well.

I’d get it off the counter work zone for sure.

Maybe I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish but a 32" tv that folds up under the cabinet when not in view?

Yeah, sorry, that math doesn't work.

whoops! I messed up on size of TV! 19-20 inch flat screen. Thank you for the great ideas and pictures! MW is in island so no worries on what will be on cpunter. I am a minimalist for sure, I do not care for clutter on counters. I do not need a cable box as we will use wireless to connect. My husband came up with the idea of recessing back of tv mount in the wall so TV will most likely be mounted directly on wall vs folding away. I am mulling it over all options. Any more suggestions very welcome. Again thank you for all the ideas!

Be sure you can view tv from all angles since it will be set under your cupboards.

It sounds like it can work but I think there must be a better place for it. Keep in mind the tv is going to be all the way to back when normally, in a cabinet, you'd sit it up front. You may have limited sight lines when not directly in front of it because of the side cabinets and the bottom of it will be really close to the countertop so very few options to keep/store anything on the counter that won't block the tv.

When and what will you watch? Is it for the morning news, or for watching This Is Us while everyone else watches The Voice in the other room? Is it for watching a guilty-pleasure with your afternoon coffee? PBS Kids?

Where will YOU be when you are watching? At a table? At an island? Perched on a stool? Prepping, cooking, or cleaning?

All those will drive the ideal place for the television. (We have a small television in our kitchen. It sets on a turntable on the peninsula so we can turn it to watch the news while cooking, or the Today Show while we have our morning coffee at the table.)

Make sure that the 19-20" TV has standard VESA-mount hole dimensions. Some small TVs don't have wall-mount holes at all.
