   i'm curently going through divorce #2, & i can honestly say that TV in my bed room had NOTHING to do with it,.. in the first case it was never a hinderence and at times definately a bonus, and in the second case it was the only thing in the room that would turn on when i wanted it to,... i have problems with rining in my ears among other reasons, so silence bothers me a great deal, i have a tv in the living room, bed room, and i have one in my shop as well,... but in my defence, i realy love the satalite radio i get through dish network,... and i like to have each of them on a wildly different style of music at once, so that as i walk from place to place i get to change with it!

   We have the tv and computer in the bedroom so it is the only room we have to heat in the winter. Our apartment has ancient room air conditioners that hardly throw out heat. Moving the tv and computer to the bedroom cut the electric bill in half.

    I have a tv in my bedroom 26" lcd but I don't use it to watch tv channels I use it as a monitor and i have a 2nd monitor 17" sat right next to it I use both Screens.
    
    smaller one is mainly for toolbars and a place to leave open folders while i work on drawings in G.I.M.P (why is it called that?...the looks I get when I say I use it:D) does that count as having a TV in the bedroom?

    Hmm.. yes, we do.  I've been thinking a lot about the pros and cons of having a television in the bedroom lately so I'm glad I saw this thread. 
    
    First off, both of us drift off to sleep to it..    and I've noticed it cuts down on my reading (reading vs. staring at a screen..  which one takes less energy..  lol).  Then again, sometimes it is soooo cozy and nice to lay in bed, cuddle, and watch a movie. 
    
    It's such a bad habit falling asleep to the tv but I think my boyfriend would flip if we moved it out.

    Definitely have to have a nice TV in the bedroom. Gaming, movies, etc. Gotta love it. How you could go without it, I'm not sure. I'd spend all my time in the living room.

    No, and I do not have a computer in my bedroom either.  I have insomnia and have enough trouble getting to sleep without adding distractions.  I used to have a computer in my room and that was a disaster.

    Here there is a television in every bedroom, one in the dining room and one in the living room. Noise is constant, and for the most part they are on cartoon channels. Family night is about the only time any are actually watched. They also run 24 hours a day seven days a week except in my bedroom. Mine is only on when there are children in the room. For the most part they are the night light. Almost forgot the computers we have not had below four which is the current amount. There are two of them in the same bedroom (mine). I am on one or the other about 20 hours a day. 
    
    No I don't want to own the electric company but if the bills remain as they are now they should give me controlling interest. We have learned that the between three and twelve children are calmer with a television on.

    I used to have one until a few weeks ago, in fact there was one in two of the bedrooms.  However, as they have not been used in years, I gave them away to charity.

       What's the advantage?
       
       Read any advice about insomnia and they'll tell you not to have a TV in your bedroom, it's too stimulating.
       
       Like Maddie said, it's also been found that couples with a TV in the bedroom have less sex. 
       
       Finally, any kind of electronics in the bedroom are very bad Feng Shui, because they have too much lively chi. If you must have a TV or PC in your bedroom, at least cover the screen before you go to bed.

          The advantage is being snug in bed with a girl under your arm, chilling out before sleep.  Having a TV in my bedroom doesn't effect my sleep or sex life because  I'm a gadget kinda person.  I've grown up with technology so it doesn't really effect me in such a negative way as it might with people who are somewhat techno-phobic.  To me it's just normal.
          
          All-in-all, just like everything else, it depends on the person.  Some people have a TV in the kitchen, I don't and I can't really see the point unless you only use it for a cook-along show.  You might disagree.

             It's kind of funny, seeing as I am 52, but I completely agree with you...
             
             My husband and I have been married almost 23 wonderful years, and having a TV in our bedroom has not affected us in the least, in any aspect of our marriage(insert winking smiley here), lol. Actually, it's about the only time we watch one!  We have no problem watching it, then turning it off to go to sleep.
             
             Like you said, it just depends on the person. I wouldn't have one in the kitchen, or the bathroom, either, but lots of folks do, which is their prerogative.
