What televisions do you have in your bedrooms?

[blankpieceofpaper]

I want to install a television in a bedroom that is independent from the set up to the main television in the lounge.

What size of television do you have? Do you have an Amazon Fire television stick or similar? Any recommendations? I don't want it to be massive, and I will be putting it on a stand rather than the wall. Any recommendations as to brands etc?

In a bedroom? None.

How funny. A thread for people to show off how little tv they watch. We have loads of them, and an outside one because it's not a big issue.

i don't have a tv at all.

but would either go for this type of thing, or projector or an £89 21 incher from Asda...

This one
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00J4LGHJY/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1479464181&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=22+inch+white+tv&dpPl=1&dpID=51jIC49RonL&ref=plSrch

It's 22 inches which is about the right size for us. Our sitting room TV is 32 inches and I personally think it is too large. We chose a white one so it sits nicely against the white wall.

We have a 32 in Samsung tv in our bedroom it's fixed to the wall. We have a firestick which I love !

I watch loads of TV :-) Just not in bed.

Don't get the no TV in bedroom snobbery. Why would you not want to snuggle in bed and watch a film on a cold winters night?! One of life little pleasures.
We have a 34" TV with an Amazon stick and Prime subscription. We have it on a set of drawers.

I watch my bedroom tv more than my living room one!
I've got a 26" one with iPod docking station, DVD and chromecast.

We have a 26' one on on top of a chest of drawers. Used to have long, lovely weekends in bed - watching movies and playing video games (especially when I had SPD). Those days are on 'pause' at the moment, but very missed. Do not get the television snobbery you get on here, each to their own...

This. You can watch tv on laptops/ipad/phones. If someone wants to watch something nobody else does, they can take a device off to another room. I hate loads of noise from multiple Tv's.

If I had a tv in the bedroom I'd be subjected to the light and noise long after I want to sleep. DH can plug himself in to his iPad with headphones and leave me undisturbed.

Then children's bedrooms in particular are tv and device free.

These threads are always funny.

Oh I see what you mean now. I didn't read the thread initially as 'recommend a TV for the bedroom to me' which I can see it was now I have re-read it.

I genuinely took the OP's title question 'what televisions do you have in your bedrooms' as a sort of poll to see how many, rather that what types.

I apologise for answering with irrelevant nonsense OP.

But since we are on the subject, if I had a TV in my bedroom I am frightened I might never get out or bed at all. I do sometimes watch stuff on iplayer or Netflix on my laptop in bed though.

And as DH and I rarely agree on what to watch or what time to go to sleep it would just cause arguments if one of us wanted peace and quiet and the other didn't.

As a family we spend all loads of time on screen, we just don't watch a lot of television. It doesn't make us superior, just people who are interested in different things to other people. We don't spend our time on "worthy" activities. Just non TV trash

I don't see how watching tv in bed, switching it off then going to sleep is really any different to putting the tv off downstairs and going to bed. We've had one in our room for years and neither of us watches it unless the other wants to as well, or isn't there. Neither of us goes to sleep with it on. Neither of us has any problem getting to sleep or staying asleep.

One in mine but not been on it for over a year. Not got one in DS' (50) room and don't want one in there. His room is for sleeping, playing with playmobil and reading.

Same here Who. It doesn't cause any problems at all.

I wonder if dedicated TV's are an obsolete technology, at least in the bedroom. A 12 inch tablet at a little less than arms length might fill the same amount of your vision as a 65 inch TV on the wall beyond the end of your bed. The tablet would probably be the better option for most people. (Having said that, I haven't tried a tablet, so I don't know how relatively comfortable it would be to use.)

A big TV makes sense in a living room or dedicated cinema room because you can have a proper sound system with it that won't disturb other people in the house as much as the same system would if space were found for it in a bedroom.

I should add that I don't do tablets and am just assuming a 12-inch one is a possibility.

I think we have a 47in - not sure. Used to love lying in bed till late in a Sunday watching cookery shows! Alas thats all stopped now the kids have come along. Mind you - when the Olympics was in recently it was great because it meant we didn't have to go downstairs to watch certain events, and it's great when my husband travels abroad and I have a stir crazy toddler waiting for me to change her brothers nappy for the millionth time. It does depend on the size of the room too OP - you don't want a giant screen in a small-ish room and vice-versa.

For years I hated the idea of TVs in bedrooms ( all that guff about a calm oasis just for sleeping blah blah...)
We have a teeny two bed house, our room is tiny, kids room is loads bigger.
Last year my lovely MIL bought the kids a 26inch hitachi tv and us a 22 inch hitachi smart tv for Xmas . I'm a convert,there's nothing nicer than snuggling up on a cold evening watching telly from the comfort of bed.
We use a fire stick, kids use a Kodi box. It's also useful if the kids are arguing about what to watch. Send them upstairs, big one in our room and the little one in their room.
Go for it OP. No clue why people with a telly would feel the need to give their unasked for opinion!

None at the moment (kaboom) but when we replace our bed in the next year or two I am seriously considering one with the tv built into the foot of the bed!

Tomorrowillbeachicken isn't your son a tad old to be told 'no tv, play with your toys' .

I know what to get DH for cmas now; playmobil

lol in my defence I'm ill but that would make him a decade and a half older than me, always tempted to tell that to my hubby (who is in his mid 40s) though as he buys those army role playing game models then never paints them and instead goes on his online games.
