Hi Guys

Am thinking about buying a new smart TV for the kitchen to replace are very old non smart 26" Samsung LCD

Can anyone recommend which 24" to 28" smart LCD or LED TV's are the best ones ?

Thanks

Looks like I may have to go up to a 32" as there seems to be very few TV's available under that size now

Guys I already have an amazon fire stick (a slow gen2 one) plugged into this 26" TV

I want to also upgrade it because it very old (has huge 2" to 3" bezels) and is very slow at turning on, changing channels, TV guide , etc
and i will use this old 26" kitchen TV to replace one the bedroom TV's which has no hdmi inputs

Some the TV's i been looking at are these ones below

Panasonic TX32FS503B
Samsung UE32N5300
Samsung UE32N5000
Samsung UE32M5520

They all only cost around £300each

Thanks Lucid

Another thing I just been thinking about is that it maybe worth me saving money by buying non smart TV's and using the savings towards buying ATV for them.
As I have about 150 movies on iTunes

Also some Samsung TV's are meant to be getting an apple app later this year but I don't know if this includes there small 32" smart TV's..

just buy a second hand tv.

i sold my top of the range 2 year old 55" sony tv on gumtree for £320.

so you will get a 24"-28" tv for free most likely or the best part of £50 max.

with living in Guernsey there not much secondhand stuff avaible and postage can cost a lot if buying secondhand from UK..

Buying a IPS monitor (for kitchen viewing environment) may work too .. I picked up a warehouse aoc ips monitor 24" , last year, for sub £100.
yes, it does not have motion interpolation/bfi, but with that ATV/other stick, would be fine.

I don't know if the kitchen environment is particularly egregious for tv's life span.

I need a TV with built in tuners..as other family members in the house likes watching loads of rubbish

Sorry folks, but talk of using PC monitors and external Freeview boxes just to watch a bit of telly in the kitchen really is a complete load of nonsense. These are bachelor / nerd solutions. They're okay for someone a bit techie who lives alone, but not really for people whose partners just want an easy life. Keep it simple; go for a 28" or a 32" TV with a HD tuner and an aerial feed. That's job done for the Missus

You're 100% right I wanted these small TV's so everyone could easily use them by it own single remote control and to have a very clean setup with as less wires & components as possible..

I ended up buying two Samsung 32" M5520 smart TV's which i received in the post yesterday they seem perfect for what I mainly wanted so far...
