I haven’t had a TV in my bedroom in over 20 years. I had an ex who always wanted it on all the time, even to sleep to, and it drove me crazy.

    Had one in the room growing up. Had one when I moved out. Took it out when I got married, and haven’t had one for well over a decade.

    One in the living room though. Bought it when we got married. Stupid thing won’t die so I can justify replacing it.

    Technically yes, but it’s ancient and almost never used. Someone got me one of those toy NES things that’s plugged into it, but I don’t use it much

    . I need to donate the tv (no one on free cycle offered to take it) or send it to an e-waste place. It’s very heavy so it mostly just sits there.

      Is it a CRT? There are gamers who will travel & pay you for a good sized one…

      You were advertising in the wrong channels.

    we have changed over time, removing TV from our lives over the past 7 years. I did notice that it is easier to not watch TV when i have a lot of free things to do nearby, outside. like gardening and landscaping. we have one tv in the living room just to be able to watch a movie sometimes, it is awesome. bedroom is completely built to be aesthetic, cozy and for SLEEPING or whatever. nothing more, nothing less so we get out of there when we are done.

    No TV in the bedroom. The bedroom is for sleeping and sex. (I have 2 TVs in the living room, but I am using them as PC monitors and don’t watch TV and only subscribe to crunchy roll.)

    I have one in the bedroom, but only because when we moved in together both my partner and I had a TV so there was an extra one.

    Has not been turned on for about 2 years now though.

    I have a TV in my bedroom set up specifically for in case I have a friend over and we want to cuddle on the bed and watch stuff. It’s hooked up to my computer for ad-free YouTube but is separate from my regular computer monitor.

    My roommates do have a living room TV but I feel weird about cuddling in front of them.

        I don’t like my roommates enough to even hang out let alone cuddle, but in August that will change and I’ll have roommates I do want to cuddle with.

    No TV in the bedroom for me. No need, really. The bedroom is for sex and sleep, nothing else.

    I hadn’t owned a TV for over 16 years now and wouldn’t want one in my bedroom. Truth be told each time I see one turned on anywhere, I feel I’m attacked intellectually : sensational news that make people dumb, and don’t get me started about the ads

    I used to, but I haven’t for about 10 years or so. By the time I go to bed, I want to sleep. I might browse my phone for a few minutes first.

    A TV in the bedroom also encourages you to stay in bed longer in the morning.
