I don't know, maybe it was different in the Western Europe and the US. Here no one I knew had a computer in the 70s and 80s, and most people didn't spend hours every day watching TV.

U.S.A. here.
I had a Tandy 1000 from RadioShack in the '80s. Built solid as a rock and carried me until I later bought my first Windows 95 PC (used) around 1996. The monitor I got cheap, as it was green text on black background and a discontinued model.

Intel 8088, yeah baby!
My brother had the TRS-80 Model I, late 1970s, and let me use it some, so I already had the computer bug going, but had to wait until I was out of college and had a job to save up for my own PC.
I spent more time reading than watching TV though. Sometimes I'd try to watch TV, but then I'd nosedive into a book and forget about what was on the screen.
