How many actual TVs do you have?

I have 3. Residence has a 50" flat screen in my family rm and then I have a little 20" old style TV out on the porch for when I feel like watching TV outside. My weekend “get-away” home has a 50" flat screen in the living/family room.

Well, we don’t watch TV much. But we use tv/monitors:

Mistermage has a giant screen in the bedroom that he watches local tv on and has a laptop.

I have a big screen tv used as a pc monitor and am planning on having him wire it up to the new antenna so I can watch local weather (I want to see live action when it comes to tornadoes). I have a Fire tablet that I watch shows on while doing the dishes. I used to use my 3ds for that.

All 3 boys have 2 monitors apiece so they can game on one and watch shows or read on the other. Oldest son also has a big screen tv for console gaming. All 3 also have smart phones that they watch shows on occasionally. (We live out in the middle of nowhere so I prefer them glued to electronics vs , like some of their age cohorts, sniffing glue.) 2 of the 3 boys have 3ds.

Technically 2. There’s a 10 y.o. 40" Visio in the den, bought on the cheap and still going strong. But it’s basically used as a computer monitor (I’m staring at it right now :smiley: ) though we watch videos on it regularly and play games. Then there’s a small Samsung (24"?) smart TV I bought two years ago for our bedroom, but the WiFi was too spotty there, so I put it in the kids’ room. It’s used infrequently, maybe once or twice a month, because they haven’t figured out the remote yet (they are two and five).

So if we want to doze off watching a movie, we either bunk with the kids or pull out the sofa.

Four TVs at my house but we watch very little broadcast TV; mostly news and PBS. Family room is the primary watching space and has a 47" plasma. It has a surround sound system with 5 disc DVD, a Blu-ray player connected to our home network, and an Amazon Fire stick. Master bedroom has a 19" with a Roku. Finished basement area has a 36" with WiFi capable Blu-ray player and DVD/VCR combo. That one gets used the least, mostly when someone is on the treadmill. Finally, we have a 5" portable LCD in the kitchen dining area that’s mostly used by the kid to watch PBS in the morning. No cable but all 4 sets get OTA stations.

Three flat screen TVs:
47" in living room
32" in the bedroom - mounted on the wall between 2 closets
19" in basement in husband’s workshop

I used to have a 13" CRT set in my pottery studio, but I can’t work and watch, and I decided to get rid of it. When my husband was recovering from his 3 back surgeries last year, he slept in the guest room and talked about getting a TV for in there, but now that’s he’s back in our room, there’s no more talk of another TV.

Just the one in the living room. I think it’s 45."

Oh, I forgot to add: I don’t watch any TV. Absolutely none. And I only listen to the radio if there is an Amber Alert or an evacuation announcement. I had a phone 20 years ago, but gave that up, too. No need.

Do you have a phone or just use a telegraph?

We have one, a 63" flat screen in a room we coincidentally call The TV Room. When we watch TV it’s to watch a specific thing, we watch it and the turn it off. I hate having a TV on all the time and I hate houses where all the furniture in every communal room is pointed at a TV.

Home-bred carrier pigeons, I assume.

I have one I use pretty much every day. Two others I hardly use but could anytime I wanted and at least two more collecting dust somewhere.

Three, but only one in use:

  • 40" LCD in the living room
  • 20" CRT in the bedroom, about 25 years old
  • 5" black and white CRT mounted under a kitchen cabinet, came with the apartment

I’d need a cable box or digital tuner to use the smaller TVs. Most of my media viewing is done either on my computer (27" 5K screen) or my aging tablet.

Two. 9 year old 32" LCD and 18 year old 13" CRT, plugged to a cable box.

2+… One main one in the family room, one in the guest room, and a projector and screen that we use to watch TV on the back patio. My wife doesn’t like them in our bedroom.

Growing up was 2 or 3: one main, and one in each of the kids rooms.

  1. A CRT for the living room, a widescreen for the bedroom.

One. A 42" TV in the living room that serves all 4 of us.

I also have a LCD projector that I, through a complicated series of converters and connections, can cause to project TV signals. I do that about twice a year.

One 27" CRT in my living room
In my “office” I have a DTV converter with the output connected to an old Apple II monitor (well, it is actualy a Technics or something, but it was for an Apple IIc. This is 30+ years old and still works)
I think I have a b+w tv in the basement

I do also have a projector in the living room hooked up to my DVR / convereter box. It is reserved for DVDs*, Netflix, or special occasion TV shows.

  • also BluRays

Yep. And messages written on paper I make myself. It’s so easy, I can’t believe people actually buy pre-made paper!!

Recently did an upgrade. So 2 in use and one just sitting around.

At least it’s a flat panel. Took a while to rid the house of all the CRT TVs/monitors I built up over the years.

2 televisions (46 and 55 inch). 8 computers (4 desktops, 3 laptops, 1 netbook). At any one time, there are generally 3 or 4 objects in the house streaming either HBO, Netflix, or YouTube.
