I've searched around for the answer to this but haven't found it as yet:
is there any regulation concerning placing a small wall-mounted 12V TV
set in a kitchen?

I have a blank area above a draining board, partly protected from
splashes and steam by a 6" deep shelf which runs the length of that
wall. It seems like the obvious place to mount a smallish TV, say 17"
or so. There are specially-designed water- and steam-proof sets
intended for bathrooms but would one of them be overkill for a kitchen?
Is there any reason why I shouldn't use a conventional set?

Many thanks.






Might be OK as there is not really that much steam emitted from a sink,
other than when you drain boiling water into it.
Try dumping a pan of water down the sink and see where the steam cloud
goes.

I've had two kitchens with TVS so far. Mount high up LCDs beat CRTs for
safety .

Nevermind safety, a TV won't last so long if it's damp all the time. Put it somewhere dry or get a damp proof one if it's not much more expensive.
