I haven’t had a TV in my bedroom in over 20 years. I had an ex who always wanted it on all the time, even to sleep to, and it drove me crazy.

I don't now, not for any "screen rules", but because we have the space to spread out. I think that's an underlying factor to this thread. We have ownership of the living space and have a slight excess if you count occupants vs rooms with TVs or laptop areas. Between living with my parents later than I'd like and then having shared apartments, I always had a TV in the bedroom from ~10 on because that was my bedroom, my office, my game space, etc. But now, if the SO and I decide our house isn't crowded enough and add kids, I can certainly see adding a TV back to the bedroom.I wouldn't want them to feel confined with all their entertainment in one room like I felt growing up.
