Curious what the average is these days…I have a Phillips 42" tube TV from around 1995 that still works great. Currently we only own one HDTV, and two CRTs, but as prices continue to drop I’m looking at replacing at least one of them.
I know that there were flat screen CRTs sold at one time; these wouldn’t count…so only LCD/LED/Plasma high-definition televisions for this survey - thanks.
Two. 46" in the family room and my son has a 26" (?) in his bedroom. Not 100% on the size there, I just know it’s in the upper 20’s and less than a 30-32"
We have a 19" CRT in the master bedroom that sees limited use. We don’t watch much TV in there so haven’t had much incentive to replace it.
Small ones in the kitchen and my wife’s art/exercise area, a 46" in the family room. We have a CRT in our bedroom that is sufficient for my wife’s Today show watching.
I voted “four,” but I missed one. We have a small one in my wife’s studio. Big ones in the master bedroom and “tv room.” 42 inch in the guest room, and another in the home gym.
The amazing thing is that my parents, in their late 70’s, have five (kitchen, den, 4 season porch, living room, bedroom). These are the people who refused to allow more than one TV in the house when I was growing up.
I used to always have a TV in my bedroom, and would often watch sitcom reruns or DVD episodes before I fell asleep, but about five years ago I got out of that habit.
One that is in the living room. I don’t have any tvs in the bedroom. I spend enough time looking at my laptop and phone screens in there as it is. I don’t need any more encouragement not to get up in the morning.
Sometimes, I do think it would be nice to have a small flat screen on a swivel in the kitchen so I could fold it away when not in use but that could duplicate the tv in the living room so when I’m doing things like working on dinner while friends are watching a movie, I don’t have to miss out. I dunno how easy that would be to set up though.
One in the family room. One in the basement den, one in our bedroom. Kids never had TVs in their rooms, but now they watch stuff on their laptops or iPads.
Just one. Frankly, I’m a little amazed I have two TV’s altogether since most of my life I only had one at a time, but the old TV was still working when we got the new one, so no reason to toss it out.
My CRT TV still works as well as it ever has, and by not replacing it with a flat-screen, it saves me the trouble of figuring out how to get rid of it.
