I’ve stayed in hotels that have it. Never turned it on though, except to see what it was.
My house in Washington State (United States, obviously) is relatively new (was only built 13 years ago, we are the original owners). We have, on paper, two-and-a-half “bathrooms”.
The one downstairs (the “half bath”) is just a toilet and sink.
There is a stand-alone full bathroom on the second floor from the hallway, and it has a toilet, two sinks, and a bathtub.
Then there is the bathroom that you get into from the main bedroom where my wife and I sleep. It has a walk-in shower (not a tub) and two sinks. It then has a smaller adjoining room (with a door) with just a toilet in it, and nothing else in that room. Technically, we consider that little toilet area and the shower/sink area one bathroom, but it’s effectively two rooms because of that door. That way someone can use the shower/sink/whatever and someone else can be in the toilet with privacy.
So, our house has a whole range of toilet configurations in it.
There are televisions with voice control, often in conjunction with Google or Amazon home appliance hubs (Amazon Echo, for example). Some also have native controls built in. So, something to consider when buying a tv for someone not wanting to get germs on a phone - or presumably, a remote.
Or, you know, a remote that lives in the bathroom can just be germy, and you can wash your hands when you are done in the bathroom, including both turning off the TV and wiping your bum.
Maybe the remote can sit in a jar of Barbicide, like combs and scissors in a barber shop.
Since the OP has been answered, maybe instead of a TV you could get him info on a healthy (pooping) diet.
People sometimes ruin a monitor or TV by spraying cleaner directly on the screen. It can run down to the bottom and then by capillary action rise up between the multiple layers that often compose the screen. Maybe the screen elements are better sealed these days, but I believe most if not all still have multiple layers. A steamy bathroom may cause problems similar to dripping spray.
One can build out a frame for the screen to fit in. Glass front. Sealed. Then vent it out the back. Likely just having it vented into the wall cavity would do to let heat out, but not let high humidity in.
Then it would also be easier to clean the glass, rather than the screen directly. Spray it as you like and wipe. No liquid through the edges of the screen. Probably lots of legal nuances as to wiring the thing up.
Back in the day, the favourite cleaner where I worked was Bon Ami spray. It contained alcohol. One fellow apparently sprayed quite a bit onto his monitor - this was back in the days of CRT monitors, and he was an engineer, so had the huge 27” monitor. As he approached the screen with his paper towel, apparently the static electricity sparked and as one of his co-workers described it - “This sudden big poof of flame! You shoulda seen the look on his face”. Fortunately, no damage done.
Studies show that the mobile phone can have more germs than a toilet seat. So, not taking the phone to the bathroom will only protect the toilet, not the device. I think there are tons of people who use their phones on the toilet without any repercussions.
There’s a reason that room is sometimes called the ‘library’. With the demise of dead tree catalogs & magazines what is one to do in there to occupy the mind while passing (more than) time.
I’
ve stayed in one- it was very strange to see a TV screen next to my face in hte mirror. But anyway, they make those mirror/TVs for home use.
