Its technically a "waste of money" but it is your money to waste. Sometimes we just want stuff. If the reasons for wanting that stuff make sense to you then do it. Just be honest with yourself.
Don't buy it because it is on sale though. Buy it because you want it. Make sure its not a boredom purchase either. Find something exciting to do with that money instead if thats the case.
It makes total sense if that's what you want.However, I gave up having a tv in my bedroom about 6 years ago. Don't miss it one bit. Plus, all the cord management messed with my sleep rhythm. Nowadays, I prefer a nice, oversized piece of artwork in place of the tv in my bedroom.
I have a 1br, and I have 2 TV's. A 32" Smart TV in the living room, and a 24" regular flatscreen in the bedroom. Of course, my apartment is also a lot larger than yours, covers the entire 2nd floor of a 2-family house, so technically it is a flat, not an apartment.
I always like falling asleep to old movies (I set the sleep timer ahead), so a TV in the bedroom is kind of a must for me! Unless you're the type who literally just walks into the bedroom, plops down, and falls asleep, it's a moot point that you have another one in the living room. And I live in a 700-ish sq ft 1br myself, lol.
But I have to ask; why is a wall mount necessary to you? Both of my televisions are flat screens, and I just use the stand they come with... one being on an entertainment center (also containing my PS4, dvd, etc), and the other on top of a short bookshelf. I've never had mine mounted, mostly because I tend to move frequently. So there's one way to save money, if you're concerned.
P.S. I would recommend the Amazon Fire Stick, unless there's a reason you NEED Chromecast instead... it's only like $30, and imo much more user-friendly! I have one of each, but plan to replace the Chromecast with a second Fire Stick eventually.
If I ever find a great deal on a TV out here, I will put one in my bedroom. Otherwise, the use of my laptop to stream shows on Netflix is more than adequate when I'm in bed.
