We have one TV in the house, it is a 42" flat screen. I have always limited us to one TV, even when the kids were small. Not really sure why, but I just never liked the thought of TV’s in multiple rooms.
Y’all have a lot of TVs.
We have one TV. It is not a flat-screen, and we really need to upgrade so we can get a TV with an HDMI port, but I just can’t quite bear to replace a TV that is in perfectly good working condition. I almost hope one of the kids throws a baseball through the screen or something so we can have a legit excuse to replace it.
I guess we could just buy another TV, but then we’d have two TVs. WTF would we do with two TVs?
We are TV lovers and I watch a lot of sports which means we need plenty of options around the house. So we have four HDTVs and also a couple of non HD. For the HDTVs it breaks down like this:
[ul]
[li]65 inch in the Den/Family Room. This is the “main” TV for family stuff/movie night[/li][li]46 inch in front of the treadmill[/li][li]56 inch in my office (if all else fails, I can watch sports here[/li][li]70 inch in our master suite (that took some slick talking! :))[/li][/ul]
They are all used regularly, but I don’t watch in my home office as much as I used to. Sneaking into the bedroom to watch the game on the 70 inch monster is just too tempting these days.
Voted 5 or more in the poll, belong in the “or more” category, but only accidentally.
50" in the living room.
36" in the basement/family room
34" master bedrrom
32" son’s bedroom
20" wife’s craft room
32" spare. My son’s TV crapped out. It was just turning itself on and off and changing inputs randomly, all by itself. We disconnected it, and put it in the basement, and bought a new one. A couple months later we were going to take it to the dump. For grins I plugged it in, and it worked. So we have 5 and a spare, in a house with 3 people.
As my kids got older, it was nice for them to have a bunch of friends over on a movie night and for my husband and I to watch a movie on our own.
I like having one in our bedroom, which I put on when folding laundry, or if I’m not feeling well, or just to snuggle and watch a movie in bed.
We don’t generally have all three TVs going, but it’s a lot easier than carrying one, room to room! We bought our refurbished through Woot.
These days, if I’m not feeling well or if I just want to hang out and watch something in bed I use my laptop or my iPad.
Somehow, that makes me feel both old (technology! holy crap!) and young (technology! woo hoo!) at the same time…
I have 1, I’d like to upgrade and get a bigger one, one of these days.
Three - a 50" (3D) in the living room, a 32" or so in my bedroom, and a 21" or so in my computer room. Incredibly enough, all three have Blu-Ray players as well, but that’s another story (my first one lacked too many features, so I replaced it; I then got one free when I bought my 50" 3D HDTV.)
Do I dare admit that I watch TV and have my iPad going at the same time…
One, and it’s a small one in TheKid’s bedroom. The other ones in the house are the old school half-ton TVs.
Zero HDTVs. One 1680x1050 LCD monitor. One 1440x900 LCD monitor. Laptops and tablets, but I won’t count those. (Two CRT TVs that are currently hooked up. No cable).
One 55" 3D LCD in the living room. No other televisions in the house; when I got rid of most my classic video game system collection, I also got rid of the older CRTs I used with them.
Of other displays: I have a small SD portable widescreen DVD player/monitor, two widescreen laptops, three 80s arcade games with 4:3 CRTs, and a Super Nintendo demo kiosk with the original Nintendo-branded monitor.
I guess this doesn’t count computer monitors so I only put down 3 - a 50", 40" and 27" but I have 4 more that are monitors. The 27" does double as an extra monitor most of the time though - either for the surveillance system or for one of the computers.
Well I said one, but I forgot about a small flat screen in one bedroom. Then we have one of those really old ones in my bedroom that I kind of hope keeps on working because it looks like it would weigh 500 hundred lbs . I’ll probably be forced to pay too much for the next one just so the new one can be delivered and the old one hauled out…
So two flat screens, one old clunker…
I use mine a lot at night to drown out my husband’s snoring noise. Or at least that’s how it started. Now I think I’m just addicted to the sound of the tv going because I have to have it on whether he’s here or not.
I guess I just now realized that we use computers for a lot of this stuff. My kids sometimes will watch Netflix on my laptop, and we often watch downloaded movies/TV on the desktop computer. So I guess while we only have one TV, we have a lot of other devices used for TV-watching purposes.
Us, too. We inherited a hee-yuge, heavy HD CRT tv that lives in our basement - I dread the day we have to move that thing (I only voted for one HDTV because the OP wasn’t clear - we have a flat screen upstairs, and a CRT HD tv downstairs).
We always surf while watching tv - we’re always looking something up or tweeting or whatever.
Never got an HD TV, although the only person who actually uses a TV anymore is my sister. The rest of us just watch stuff on computer monitors. (And, yes, they are all flatscreens now.)
One in the living room. We have one old, cheap fat screen TV is a kid’s bedroom from when my in-laws were here on an extended stay and my father in law monopolized the TV. It is networked to our Dish, but we might dump the whole thing soon. It hasn’t been turned on for over a year.
We have a 25" monitor and watch lots of Hulu, so zero.
Currently zero, but I will be getting one in the next month or so.
