movies/tv When did you first get a TV in your bedroom?

Depends what you mean exactly by TV.

I had access to a portable DVD player when I was 8, but I rarely brought it into my bedroom because I would just watch things on the TV in the living room or in my parent's bedroom. Then there was the divorce when I was 10 or so, and I only had access to the player every other weekend after that, and I wasn't staying in a bedroom I could call my own when I had it.

At age 14 I had an actual CRT TV but it didn't work properly and wasn't really set up to anything so that was gone within a year, and I was given a used iPhone soon after and could watch YouTube via our home wifi. Half a dozen smart phones and my own service later and that's how I still do it?

I got my first TV when I was ten. It was hooked to cable and everything! I got a VCR too. That's when I started swiping all of my brother's bootleg anime VHS tapes!

When I was 6, at least. A simple 18" Cathode Ray Tube, but it wasn't cable ready, it needed the forked adapter for that. I didn't have a VCR, and never mind DVD since that wasn't a thing yet, that was in the den on the 27" TV. I did have a cable box though, but Cartoon Network was not yet born at that time, so Nickelodeon and Nick-at-Night for me. Was a time when I couldn't sleep without the glow of the TV there, now it's the reverse.

Well my first "TV" was a TV PCI card for my computer. That was probably around '03 or '04. I was about 15. It was over the air antenna. I got a CRT TV at a garage sale for like $15 around 2005, when I was like 17. I finally got cable in my room when when I was like 25 when we got carpet upstairs and I routed cable through the floor to a few other rooms also. The main thing I was happy about was that I could watch MLP as it aired :squee:. Rainbow Falls was the first episode I saw live.

Now at my house I just have over the air and streaming.

Rainbow Rocks... at least how it could've looked... in a stranger, more interesting dimension :lol:

For those who are wondering, Twilight is chewing bubble gum.

Never ever had a TV in my room but I had a TV card for new computer that I got in 1999. If anyone is wondering which monitor I had back then it was a Nokia 447Zi.

No TV but a PC instead. I was like 9-10 and played games there almost everyday. You can I’m one of the earliest PC player before it become ‘cool’. :secret:

Quite late as I've never put much importance to it. I think I was around 12 years old and even then it was only connected to my PC so I can watch movies on it. 

I was more of a video games/internet person so it still was mostly gathering dust though :muffins:

I think when I was about 5, but to be fair, the thing barely worked.


At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do.

I think I had one pretty much ever since I was born? At least since 4, that's the earliest I remember watching things on it. It was a very, very old tube TV that had color adjusting knobs on the front I believe, but it's been so long that might be wrong. I had an equally old VCR setup alongside it and then eventually a DVD/VCR combo player. I had that until like 2012 or so when my parents bought me a proper flat screen TV that's still used around their house.

oh, never - at the last place we used to live in, my parents had a CRT in theirs, but i never had any TVs in mine. never needed one. at some point, going on the internet was adequate enough of a replacement for television. and i always had a computer in my room.

I think I was like, five years old. They trusted me since I only had like a SNES or a VCR hooked up to it. I don't remember. 

They didn't know I figured out how to unplug everything and switch it to TV mode. First TV show I ever tuned into by myself was Kung Fu with David Carridine.
