"According to Nielsen’s annual “Television Audience” report that was released this week, the number of households with a TV set will decline. The rising trend of TV ownership has been leveling off in recent years, and now the number has dropped from 115.9 million homes in 2011 to an estimated 114.7 million in 2012. As TV Barn pointed out, that’s a 1 percent decline despite the number of households rising. "
I'd argue the question is becoming less revelent. We bought a new TV for the living room. It's hooked to the computer and the entertainment console. We do not have over the air TV that our parents grew up on. The kids too have a TV. It's hooked to an entertainment console. They too don't know the joys of viewing the fuzz at the end of the day programming of analog TV. (Part of which is noise from the Big Bang which is really cool as the old TVs were in a sense a time machine.) And even then they use the laptop quite often.
Shows come in via Netflix, Zune, Hulu, Bit Torrents or via Blu-Ray. So even while we own at TV it's not really a TV it's just one can't really buy a 60" monitor as cost effectively as a Samsung LED TV.
