Movies on High Res Hand-Helds?

[RandomClown]

I ask because some people argue videos are better on a high res hand-held than on TV.

That may be true, but it really depends on people's eye sight.

Younger people may have no problem with tiny high-res screens like 20-30cm away from their face, but most adults will get a headache.

[it is also bad for the eyes]

You can see more on a high-res hand-held than on standard TV, but for people prone to headaches watching up close, it is actually easier for them to watch from far away [what TVs are for].

What is your opinions on this?

Couches more comfortable than computer chair, more slouching :D

edit: HD tv but SD videos

I hate watching movies (or other videos for that matter) on the computer for this one reason: I always get sidetracked and start doing other stuff on the computer, and miss out on what's happening in the movie/video.

lol yea i always get distracted aswell behind the pc you just think of so many things you can still do and just pause teh movie...

I can watch them on my HDTV, Computer(s), or Zune with no problem, but I usually end up watching them on a computer because I like to multitask.

my friend has an issue with his eyes similar to stigmatism, only it causes him to run away from a screen screaming headache, except for his iPod touch.

Computer is just fine for me.

"like an ipod or psp"

Everyone alway's forgets the poor little Dell (HTC) Axim x51v

640x480 isn't so bad. Easy to view on plane, train, bus or subway.

That's because they don't make them anymore....

iPod touch for the plane, hd tv for at home, occasionally I'll watch some hulu on my 21" screen in my computer room.
