TVs are traditionally a shared experience. But even still, I have 2 TVs for every person in my household.

- lossyalgo 7mo agoAre you being sarcastic? Why would anyone need 2 TVs, much less every person in the house?
- Jeremy1026 7mo agoI'm not being sarcastic. And I really don't think my household is that far above average. We have three "living room" type areas. One in each bedroom. One in my office. One in my wife's office. I'd wager the American average is >1 per person in the house. Edit: Looks like there is some research to suggest that Number of TVs > Number of People in Household. 2.93 TVs to 2.54 people. https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/more-tv-sets-2-93-than-people-per-us-household-2-54-average-tv-sets-per-home-sets-new-record/ https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/more-tv-sets-2-93-than-people...

- raw_anon_1111 7mo agoI’m 51 and I can’t remember ever going to a house with only one TV. Even my grandparents had multiple TVs and I definitely had one in my room since I was 4. A quick Google search says that 50% of households had more than one TV in 1980.
- icedchai 7mo agoSame. I grew up in the 80's and we always had at least 2 TVs for a family of four. My sister and I both had small TVs in our bedroom once we were teens, so that was one TV per person at that point! To be fair, they were mostly used for video games...
- recursive 7mo agoI don't think I've ever lived in a house with more than one TV, except possibly when a college room mate kept one in their room. I now live in a household of four, and these TV stats are blowing my mind.
