Instructions
1. Decide on a dollar amount you are willing to spend. Under the cabinet TVs come in a wide range of prices, depending on the brand name, size of the screen and features. Knowing how much you are willing to spend will narrow the field.
2. Decide on the media types that you would like to operate with this machine. Media types supported by under the counter TVs have become almost limitless. Brands come with DVD players, CD players, AM/FM receivers, and more.
3. Measure the available space under the counter you wish to install the TV. You will want the under the counter TV to fit well in your rooms decor. Having a model that is too large can make the under the cabinet TV look out of place.
