Which camp are you in when it comes to TVs in the bedroom? I am debating whether I want to put a tv in the newly refurbed bedroom. Some days I’m like yeah go for it and other days I’m like no way.

What are your bedroom tv set ups?

TV in the bedroom means the wife goes to bed early to watch her crap in there, freeing up the living room for me

I have a TV in my bedroom but it only get used in the morning to catch up on the news, whilst drinking my cup of tea and staring out across the fields watching every one racing to work on the road at the bottom of the hill. I would not watch TV in bed any other time of day.

Sort of…

I have had a TV in the main bedroom in the past but it hardly ever gets used.

So…instead, 65” in the living room and 55” in the Guest bedroom. That way, if ever we really want to watch TV in bed, we simply use that room.

No TV in the kitchen either, Partner uses an iPad when cooking etc.

The wife is desperate for a TV in the bedroom, I don't want one.

I tend to go to bed earlier than her, she stays up to watch her st on the TV in the lounge, I know for a fact if we had one in the bedroom she would come up at the same time as me and it would be on, I want to go to sleep in silence and without the flickering of the TV in the background.

Never had one.

I have stayed in hotels many hundreds of nights and didn't watch TV from the bed in those rooms either.

I lived alone for many years, one of the benefits was I could make the perfect man pad so my bedroom has a 65 inch tv and sonos surround system.

Not so good now my daughter lives with me and the Mrs has moved in but it was great for a while hehe

32 inch in the bedroom for watching on cold nights.

Oled 65 inch one downstairs doesn't get used as much.

A few years back I was due for an operation with a 4 week recovery so wall mounted a 50” tv to watch in bed. It got used a lot at the time and then about once a week with the kids for CBeebies bedtime stories. I’m not sure if it’s been used at all in the last two years.

Our main tv is only 43” laugh

Same here. Mrs BigM needs about 30mins to function after the alarm goes off at 06.35. So it’s a brew and breakfast news whilst she gently comes alive. It’s really very civilised. smile

We do it the other way around, she can watch her rubbish downstairs whilst I'm upstairs watching videos of people building big engines on YouTube. smile

7 TVs in 7 rooms for 2 of us.

The only one that doesn't really get used is the one in the main bedroom.

I like to have the BBC News channel on most of the time, but just Radio 4 in the bedroom to wake me up in the morning. The only time the bedroom TV gets used is when there's an election (or referendum) and I want to watch the exit polling and early results.
