How many HD/flat-screen TVs do you have in your home?

One, and it’s the only TV in the house. We finally upgraded a year or two ago when we decided to kill cable, but wanted something with Web access so we could use Roku, and the old TV wasn’t digital and I never could get it to work with the converter box so we could watch free over-the-air channels.

One in the living room and one in the bedroom, both old-school. Oh–there is a spare in storage, too. We aren’t watching a lot of “TV” these days–my husband watches DVDs, and I tend to watch stuff on my computer. The TV in the bedroom gets turned on only when I’m in there folding laundry and it’s not a good time for radio. (This isn’t often, as my routine is to do all the folding and putting away while listening to RadioLab on Saturdays.) We don’t watch TV in bed, we’re more likely to each be looking at our phones. Amazing how they’ve taken over so much entertainment. I have a fairly big phone, and am happy watching YouTube or videos, or reading ebooks on it, or surfing, or playing a game.

I’d probably watch more TV if there was more good stuff on, but I downgraded our cable package severely, when I realised how much we were paying for stuff we’d never watch, and to be honest, I think it was Honey Boo Boo Whatever, that really pushed me over the edge. I was not paying for that crap. If we could pick each channel individually, I’d certainly pay more again, but I don’t want to have a package of 10 channels when it only has one in there I want. Grr. Anyway.

Speaking of TV, now that I’m ranting about it, when there is good stuff on, we tend to wait until it’s on DVD or available online (ahem). Going back and watching with all the commercials (SO MANY COMMERCIALS) is just jarring and unpleasant. I think the last time we watched Big Bang Theory we waited until it was PVR’d and watched it after it was over, so we could skip the commercials. I think there was about 12-14 minutes of show–the rest was all commercials.

We’ve never, in 17 or so years of marriage, ever purchased a television. People, for some reason, give them to us when they upgrade theirs. :slight_smile: The PVR was a hand-me-down too from someone who was switching cable providers and couldn’t use it any more.

<takes count> 14

well I am at my computer shop more than my home…that should count.

Do my PC monitors count? Because they’re all way higher resolution than what we call “HD” on TVs. Either way, two HD TVs (a 55" in the living room and a 46" in one of the bedrooms) and three monitors that are higher-than-HDTV resolutions (a two monitor setup for me, plus my wife’s).

(though technically we also have three laptops and an iPad that are >720p as well…)

None. I only have one TV as I live in an apartment and don’t watch it all that much. It’s a big clunky CRT, and the picture is blurry enough at this point that it’s hard to read words on the screen. It’s time to upgrade for sure! The wall is 12 feet from the couch, so I’m thinking something in the 50-55" range would be sweet.

Just the one. A Sony Bravia, 40", Z series. Four-and-a-half years old now.

All of these bar the Living room where all prizes through work.

One. But I’m in temporary accommodation right now, a share house (I am between homes), where there are, as far as I can tell, none. And, in fact, analogue TV will be switched off here in a few days and most of the people here are in for a rude shock.

I have an old style TV with an HD set top box that I hardly ever use. I watch sometimes on my computer monitor using a DVB-T USB device. I watch so little TV that it’s not worth buying anything new.

A medium sized (by modern standards) LCD in the living room, and a small one in the bedroom. Our last CRt died about 4 years ago, and we couldn’t have bought a new one if we had wanted to - there aren’t any to be found in shops (not that we wanted to. We have a small apartment, and the amount of space saved by a thin TV is not negligible). The one in the living room is connected to my PC with an HDMI cable, and we often use it to watch stuff on the computer and play games.

I have none. When I bought our two TVs, flat screen CRTs were mid-range, and flat panels were really quite expensive, so I went for the flat screen only.

Now, of course, they’re cheap, but we don’t use our TVs much (the living room one occasionally, but I haven’t turned on the one in my room for a couple years) so I haven’t bothered to replace them. I would replace the living room one except I’d need to also replace the cabinet it’s in (the TV is only 24" and I’d want bigger), and then get rid of the old cabinet and the TV itself, and that just sounds like a pain.

One LCD flat screen.

But I also have one of these. :slight_smile:

I have one TV: one of the flat-screen HD CRTs mentioned in the OP.

I own three HDTV’s but only two are “flat screen” (LCD’s), one’s an HD CRT, and there are two others besides that here that I don’t own (one LCD, one Plasma). I have no idea how to put that in your poll. 5 in the house? Three that I own? Two flatscreens I own? Four flatscreens in the house?

We have two LCD flat-screens: a 40" one that’s our main house TV and a 20" that Mr. Legend uses in his bedroom office for work (he makes gimbals for helicopter-mounted HD cameras). I count that second one because we have used it occasionally to watch alternate programming when our daughter is having a videogame or movie night with her friends, but it’s not connected to the cable and it’s used primarily as a monitor.

Three. We had one 42" plasma in the Living Room for years, then it blew out and the color got all wonky, so we replaced it with a 42" LCD, and put the Plasma in the basement, to replace a 13" CRT. Subsequently we “inherited” a 27" LCD which is now in the bedroom, replacing another 13" CRT. Honestly, we pretty much do all of our watching in the LR, the other two barely get used at all.

We have one CRT TV. I think it’s somewhere around 22 inches.

If you’re counting computer screens, we have three. One of them is just shy of HD, at 1024x768. The second one is just above the lowest HD resolution, at 1366x768. The biggest one is above HD, at 1600x1200. The screens are 15-, 19-, and 21-inches, respectively. (Note that a 15-inch 4:3 is about the same as a 19-inch 16:9.)
