The kitchen TV is becoming increasingly popular due to its slim features and ability to run culinary demonstrations. However, an LCD touch screen can be installed in the kitchen and connected to a computer for more engaging features. Jamie installed an LCD touch screen in his home ten years ago to access email and browse the internet while remodeling his kitchen. The author recently upgraded their outdated computer and display with a new Pentium 4, dual processing computer and 19-inch LCD TFT touch screen display. The computer has access to the Internet, radio stations, TV tuner, MP3 player software, touch-screen access to MS Office applications, and a top-notch 5.1 sound surround system.

Nowadays, having an LCD or plasma monitor in the kitchen is fashionable. A television set that has been permanently placed in the kitchen as a feature is quickly becoming the norm. The cause is straightforward. They can be mounted anywhere there is a small amount of space and look fantastic thanks to their slim features, whether it be on the wall, in a cabinet, or on the ceiling. The television in the kitchen is no longer there for entertainment, but it is still possible to run culinary demonstrations while the cook follows the directions thanks to a combined DVD player. Rewinding is not required. Go Jamie. Why does it always seem simpler when someone else does it.
For all its value, that's pretty much it for kitchen televisions. Any DVD you insert into the player or any station the device can receive are both played. What if the dining TV was something more? Imagine if the kitchen TV had more engaging features. Installing an LCD touch screen in your kitchen and connecting it to a computer seems like a great plan. I did, and it is fantastic.
About ten years ago, when the first LCD screens became widely available, I made my first effort. When a friend wished to access their email and browse the internet while they were remodeling their kitchen, I installed one in their home. Since touch screens were not yet widely accessible, we installed a regular LCD screen so that it was always visible and stored the keyboard and mouse in a drawer below. We were able to place the computer into a nearby cupboard because we had a high-quality 5 meter monitor cable. For local TV viewing, we built a TV tuner module into the computer. The system performed admirably, and I also added MP3 player software, which turned out to be a wonderful supply of constant music.
We recently upgraded our outdated computer and display with newer hardware. A new Pentium 4, dual processing computer is coupled with a new 19-inch LCD TFT touch screen display. The monitor is the same kind that retail shops use as their point of sale. We still used the drawer to store the keyboard and mouse, but we hardly ever used it, and if we had been starting from fresh with this installation, I would not have included it. The majority of the applications we use are windows-based and menu-driven, which is fantastic.
What benefits do a computer and touch screen display have over a regular kitchen TV, then? How do I start?
It clearly has access to the Internet and the internet. While you are cooking, your emails or MSN alerts are received and presented in real time. Countless radio stations are available to stream from all over the globe. The TV tuner can be linked to a satellite, and from what I've read, some ISPs offer online cable TV streaming. Countless MP3 files of audio are kept on the computer. It is a computer, so it has all the features of a computer, including touch-screen access to all MS Office applications. A top-notch 5.1 sound surround system is connected to the computer's sound sources.
I enjoyed turning the kitchen PC into a television. It's time to adopt a new perspective and try things on your own.
