Where is it in your home?
Growing up it was in the den and one in my parents bed room.
Now its in our mamad.
Even those that I do know, that are frum, who have tv, dont usually have it in the dinning or living room.
Its usually in another room. Not the center of the home.

It’s in my bedroom. Love watching shows on it with my husband before falling asleep.

One in family room, one in our bedroom. Lots of people I know have one in their family room.

Ours is in what we call our family room which is basically a living room, and it is very large. We don't have cable TV, just use the screen to watch acceptable shows, movies, sports, and videos.

I prefer my children watching on a large screen in the middle of the house because I can see and hear what they are watching and they know that I can see and hear it. Our family room is open to the kitchen, so I can keep tabs while cooking or tidying. While I do sometimes allow watching on devices for logistical reasons, I prefer them to watch on the large screen for maximum transparency.

We also had a screen in our bedroom, but it stopped working 8 or 9 years ago and we never got it fixed. It's still hanging on the wall, I guess we should just throw it out.

It's in our "den/playroom"
We would put one in our bedroom but the wall opposite our beds is the only place we can put a closet. DH dreams of a TV that can come down from the ceiling Very Happy

They make closets with screens built into the doors!

There's probably some issue of mukzah on Shabbos.

I've been to a dentist that had a screen on his ceiling, I'm sure it can be done

I remember reading that the Presidential Suite at the King David Hotel had a television screen that would rise out of the foot of the bed, and if you didn't want to fuss with a remote control, could be controlled using your toes.

That was when Obama came to visit, so there must be upgrades by now.
