Dude, not everyone does pr0n on the PC. Besides, TV's can be put on furniture
which enables it to be pulled next to a desk and serve the user pretty well.
Wireless keyboards seem standard for this type of setup, so it's even more
versatile than a laptop in the bedroom (screen size, space for peripherals,
remote control).
