@BeAware no, we have a flat panel but it’s not really used other than for the kid’s video games.
If I’m watching anything it’s usually on my computer or tablet. But when I’m really in a mood I do have an old tv from the 90s in my basement so I can hook up the VCR and watch all of my old X-files tapes
@BeAware yes and no. Mentally I differentiate the two because of experience:
On the computer I expect to be sitting at a desk looking at a screen and not anything else.
In the living room, I expect to be watching a show but since I am not “at” something (like I’d be “at my computer”) the experience becomes more holistic. I am apart of the room and a participant in the experience so everything in the room contributes to that.
So, I think the problem with flat panel TVs is that they’re bulky like furniture but decidedly anti-furniture because you end up having to mount them on a wall or set them on top of other furniture.
