Is it safe to put a Television in my room?

Question

I was wondering if having a television in my room wont affect my health. I am a teenage boy. I usually make web designs for people on my computer. However i recently decided i want a TV in my room. My grandmother who i live with is always watching TV. I however like to watch the news or maybe play a blu-ray movie. That's why i was thinking of putting a TV in my room. I watch about 20 minutes a day of television and sometimes watch a movie. Do you guys think having a TV in my room will affect my health?

Answer 1

What does that mean? It's not radioactive. How could it hurt you?

If you spend all day watching it and eating quarts of ice cream, I guess that'd be unhealthy... but that'd be your doing, not the TV's.

Answer 2

i have a tv in my room and i still dont watch it that much, it is usefull and hasnt affected my health at all

Answer 3

no if you if you only watch an hour and a half a day but make sure your not eating while watching it because you will eat that whole hour without stopping.

Answer 4

No there is no radiation coming off of TV's these days. She may be remembering back to a time 50 years ago or so when TV's did emit a small amout of ionizing (X-ray like) radiation. Modern (CRT) TV designs eliminated this years ago. PDP and LCD TV's cannot emit such energy due to the way in which they operate.
