Is television a furniture or an appliance?

I told a person that we can consider TELEVISION as a FURNITURE when I knew that it's more of an APPLIANCE! How can I justify that??? Please help.|||In the early days of TV the cabinets used to be made of wood. The carcase - which is the same terminology used in cabinetmaking - housed all of the electrical components of the TV.





Some early TVs were quite elaborate furniture pieces, however nowadays most people would consider a television as an appliance.|||definitely an appliance..|||Neither. It is an addiction.





:-)|||it is furiture..it does not provide any household convience like an appliance would.it doesnt wash your clothes cook your food or toast your toast..|||appliance: a piece of equipment, usually operated electrically, esp. for use in the home or for performance of domestic chores, as a refrigerator, washing machine, or toaster.





furniture: the movable articles, as tables, chairs, desks or cabinets, required for use or ornament in a house, office, or the like.





I think tv is an appliance.|||a television is more of an appliance today back in the early day's when i was coming up it could have been a peace of furniture. we had more floor model t.v's then. i hope i helped you with your question.|||When you think of furniture...





couch - holds people


dresser - holds clothing


table - holds food


TV - does not hold anything (other than your attention)





When you think of an appliance...





fridge - cools food %26amp; beverages


toaster - toasts bread


blender - mixes food


washer - washes clothing


TV - does not clean, blend, toast, grill or otherwise change the temperature, appearance or texture of anything (other than an analog or digital video signal)





I would personally say that a TV is neither - it is electronics equipment, similar to a stereo, DVD player etc.





Think about it this way - if you go to any website shopping for a TV, what section would you find it in...furniture? no. appliances? no. electronics? ya
