My minimal TV is a PVR box that connects to my computer so I can watch/record/playback cable TV on my computer screen. So, I don’t actually own a TV set.
Yes, banish that thought from your mind! My husband and I canceled our satellite TV March 10, 2009 because the monthly cost had risen to over $60. Now we watch DVDs and take advantage of what is available online, using my 24″ iMac as our “TV”. Since we haven’t used our TV set for over seven months, we are considering selling it.
A 150” TV might be a tad overkill, however I don’t interpret minimalism as banishing all luxuries from your life. My wife and I recently bought a 50” Samsung HDTVon massive sale for our living room because we didn’t have a tv at all. We only have high speed internet (no cable tv), and from that we can stream netflix, youtube, news, etc.
Moving into a decluttered, minimalist-style life helps you afford a few nice things like the TV (quality over quantity) because you have much better control over your expenses, savings, etc.
That is just my thought on it. We like to enjoy ourselves while still being extremely responsible, organized, and counter to the culture that says buy anything and everything you want regardless of your situation.
