I've lived without a tv just fine for a couple of years, and didn't really miss it. However, the technology-loving part of me recently bought a decent Sony Bravia 1080p set for the purposes of watching tv series and films with housemates, as well as the news in the evening. Definitely nice to have for the social element, as I'd much rather not be in my room staring at a PC screen outside of work. Streaming DivX over the wireless and having the housemate's PS3 plugged into it isn't much of an inconvenience either ;).
