I have 6 tvs and 2 computer monitors (both bigger than 21 inch) in my house. And a projector. --- Psn: beastlytoast Left-handed fire-slapsies leave me feeling confused about life. - Merydia ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think it's weird to not have a TV or a computer, unless you are a monk or something. Boomers more likely to have TV only, millennials more likely to have a computer only --- She left me roses by the stairs. Surprises let me know she cares. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Not weird. There's a TV in my house, but I don't watch it. I basically stopped watching TV on an actual TV well over a decade ago. --- When money talks for the very last time, and nobody walks a step behind When there's only one race, and that's mankind, then we shall be free ...

Just to answer this topic I don't think it's weird at all. I don't personally own a TV, but I do have a "smart monitor" that comes with a remote and runs smart TV apps. It's 32". I hardly ever use the TV functionality on it though. I think if I had more guests I would maybe want to invest in a proper TV just because it's traditionally the central focus of the living room. --- http://www.last.fm/user/walkingishonest ...

yeah it is weird af. I'm computer person but I have it hooked to a television. I think this practice is becoming more common now that 4k oled 120 hz tvs exist and gpus are becoming more powerful and support the hdmi 2.1 --- I'm a Taurus I like collecting headphones and iems.

with smart phones, computers (laptop or desktop), streaming, YouTube, etc., TVs aren't as "necessary" as they once might have been. --- https://streamable.com/zrtjki ... Copied to Clipboard!

Unusual in the west, but I don't believe it's accurate to label as "weird". Mobile phones are not replacing TVs quite THAT fast, nor has it become a majority trend. And many consumers still prefer a large screen as ideal for home entertainment. Alternative electronics for media viewing have come out over the years, but none of them have really dethroned the TV as a staple appliance yet. Commercial innovation hasn't achieved that yet. --- The funny thing about telling others to take the high road is how often it's hypocritical advice. http://tryimg.com/8/2017/06/28/IdSqD.png ...

Given the rise of smart phones and tablets, I can see TVs becoming more of a niche thing for some people, depending on their lifestyle. Definitely out of the norm, but not weird. ... Copied to Clipboard!

A monitor is the same thing as a TV for all intents and purposes though. It's stupid when someone tries to claim they don't waste their time watching TV but then spend hours staring at a phone or monitor watching videos. ... Copied to Clipboard!
