TOP-4 with a diagonal of 22 inches
Polarline 22PL12TC
Domestic TV for just ... For this money, a good 22-inch LCD matrix with an aspect ratio of 16: 9, Full HD resolution, 6-watt acoustics is offered. Multimedia capabilities - built-in media player. It is possible to write to a USB flash drive with a time shift. There is no smart TV, there are all the necessary connectors. Standard features: teletext, off timer, child lock.

- 1 x HDMI;
- 1 USB port.
Given the price of this model, the identified shortcomings can be forgiven. Polarline 22PL12TC is small, compact, easily copes with receiving a digital signal, playing files of all modern formats from a flash drive. What else do you need for the kitchen? If you react strongly to bad sound, you can buy external acoustics or consider models that are several times more expensive, for example, LG 22MT58VF-PZ.
SkyLine 22LT5900
A Chinese brand of consumer electronics, but for the CIS countries they are manufactured in Belarus at the Horizont plant. Functionally no different from Polarline 22PL12TC in anything. In my opinion, it is more pleasant outwardly due to the glossy massive plastic stand, but this is subjective, not always convenient for the kitchen. The image quality also wins a little. Stands on expensive.
Pros:
- Full HD resolution;
- good image;
- sensitive digital TV tuner;
- convenient remote control.
Minuses:
- poor quality sound;
- no anti-reflective coating of the matrix;
- 1 x HDMI;
- 1 USB port.
We are talking about a TV for the kitchen, and therefore pay for more in this case I see no point. There is nothing fundamentally new in the display of the picture or the sound of this TV compared to Polarline 22PL12TC does not offer.
Hyundai H-LED22ET2001
Korean brand TV assembled in our country. It differs from the previous participants in the rating by the gray color of the case, slightly improved image and sound. But the sound of the Hyundai H-LED22ET2001 acoustics cannot be called ideal. Good sound is worth looking for in the expensive segment. Multimedia capabilities are similar to Polarline 22PL12TC. Price - .
Pros:
- matte gray frame;
- Full HD resolution;
- image quality.
Minuses:
- the sound is already an order of magnitude better than that of cheaper competitors, but still bad;
- no anti-reflective coating of the matrix;
- 1 x HDMI;
- 1 USB port.
Hyundai H-LED22ET2001 is a worthy choice.It produces a good image, decent sound, in this regard it has an advantage over Polarline 22PL12TC and SkyLine 22LT5900, so I suggest choosing H-LED22ET2001 among these three models. You have to overpay only $ 5.
LG 22MT58VF-PZ
22-inch TV from a famous brand with an IPS matrix, which produces stunning realistic pictures from any viewing angle. There are many possibilities for adjusting the image - 6 preset modes + 2 user ones. For game lovers, there are Black Stabilizer and Dynamic Action Sync modes. The former improves visibility in dark scenes, the latter minimizes signal transmission delays. Implemented progressive scan, the function "picture in picture". Sound - 2 speakers of 5 W each, it is loud and clear. There is a system for improving the quality of Virtual Surround. If you find fault, then the volume is still not enough for him. But you are unlikely to find a good sound in a 22-inch TV, and you don’t need more for the kitchen. The TV is installed on a stand (included) or on a VESA bracket 75 × 75 mm. Price - .
Pros:
- high-quality assembly;
- Full HD resolution;
- image quality;
- ideal viewing angles;
- the ability to fine-tune the image;

Minuses:
- price;
- glossy frame;
- inconveniently implemented switching between on-air reception and a satellite dish;
- complex menu;
- channels are switched slowly;
- inconvenient remote control;
- Power Supply.
LG 22MT58VF-PZ outperforms all competitors, but not only in quality, but also in price. Paying 11 thousand for a kitchen TV is a great luxury for many. Therefore, it is impossible to definitely recommend this model, although it is good from all sides. You need to proceed from how fundamentally high quality of image and sound in the kitchen is for you. I consider the optimal technique with an average picture and sound quality Hyundai H-LED22ET2001; can save order .

Leff 24H110T
Domestic TV with 24-inch matrix with HD resolution. Viewing angles - 176 °. The picture is decent. The sound is clear, surround, Dolby Digital, 2 speakers of 3 watts.

The Leff 24H110T justifies its price with interest. Its important advantage is good sound. Competitors worthy of this parameter -LG 24MT49S-PZ and Samsung T24H390SI - are already twice as expensive.
SkyLine 24YT5900
TV from Belarus with 24-inch VA matrix. The image quality is slightly better than the Leff 24H110T, especially when not viewed from right angles. The sound of this TV disappointed - 2 speakers of 3 watts and no volume. Multimedia features are comparable to your closest competitor. The lack of an MHL connector is not considered a major drawback. Price - .
Pros:
- image quality;
- TimeShift;
- there are all the relevant connectors.
Minuses:
- sound quality;
- 1 x HDMI;
- 1 USB port.
SkyLine 24YT5900, unlike Leff 24H110T, has a VA matrix, so it wins in image quality, but lags far behind in sound. The overpayment for a kitchen TV with the best picture, but the worst sound is inappropriate: the Leff 24H110T produces a decent IPS image.
LG 24MT49S-PZ
Unlike all previous participants in the rating, it has Smart TV on the webOS 3.5 platform, which significantly expands the multimedia capabilities of the TV.

- no detailed user manual;
- the operating system sometimes slows down;
- little memory;
- large remote power supply;
- no headphone jack;
- 1 USB port.
LG 24MT49S-PZ is not bad, but how relevant Smart TV is in the kitchen and how appropriate the overpayment for this function is, it is up to the owners to decide. If you plan to use the TV only for watching TV shows, then I recommend the Leff 24H110T.
Samsung T24H390SI
The difference between this TV and all competitors is Full HD resolution. Has Smart TV. In terms of capabilities, it is comparable to the LG 24MT49S-PZ, but runs on Tizen, the company's proprietary operating system. The TV's picture quality competes with the LG 24MT49S-PZ, but the sound definitely lags behind: it is flat, without pronounced lows. Price - . This model is also available in a rather rare format - with a diagonal of 27 inches. The T27H390SI would be a good option for a large kitchen.

- original stand;
- convenient remote control;
- Full HD resolution;
- matte surface of the matrix;
- Smart TV

The only thing that makes this TV pretty good is the sound quality. If you need Smart TV and do not want to purchase external speakers, pay attention to LG 24MT49S-PZ. If you are not picky about sound quality, but high image resolution is important for you, then get the Samsung T24H390SI. For a large kitchen that can host guests, consider the 27-inch version of this model (Samsung T27H390SI - ). But I am a supporter that Smart TV in the kitchen is not needed. If you agree with me, you can save the order .
