How do you watch your anime? on a TV or monitor?
| I mostly watch it on TV or PC, and if I'm at work I watch on my phone. |
 |
| I watch it from TV with DLNA. But sometimes i watch from monitor too. |
Hey_Taka-tin_Hey said: Ezekiel said: Actually, TVs have very different colors than monitors. TV manufacturers like to show off more. I prefer browsing on a monitor, because the colors are more neutral. Sorry, my dude, but that's actually not true. Many TV manufacturers have at least one mode that attempts to adhere to the standard set by filmmakers. It is usually called Cinema/Movie/THX Expert/Pure or something similar. It varies by brand. It doesn't substitute a professionally calibrated TV, but it's good enough to appease almost anyone. If you're not an actual movie director, you can get by with simply putting your Samsung TV on Movie mode and selecting the Screen Fit option. Source: a freaking decade spent on AVForums, dealing with people and their OCD. I think I know what you're talking about. I use the often recommended Cinema Pro and Expert 1 settings on my Sony 900e. Color is at 56/100. The colors still look different than on my Asus MX27AQ IPS monitor, which is set to Standard Mode for Picture and Normal for Color Temp. Skin tones aren't the same. |
| i watch anime on my computer normally. |

I said if they use the same technology...maybe you are talking about some expensive models of TVs vs cheap monitors or something. There can be some differences but we are talking about animation in which the colour palette is somehow limited (digital source or whatever) so those differences would be even less noticable. It could be in average monitor vs average TV situation. |
| Sometimes TV, sometimes monitor, sometimes pathetically from phone/tablet |
WHAT A LAUGHABLE ATTEMPT. YOU SHOULD JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE, GROVELING AT MY FEET P.S. PLEASE HELP ME GAIN MORE PROFILE VIEWS |
| That stat differentiation is wild. Monitor. |
Whatever2001 said: My parents won't let me do anything i want. So i watch from my little mobile alone at night (2-5am). Thats why i only watch anime not movies or tv shows because i want to watch them on tv. It probably ruins the experience but if the show is good it doesn't matter i guess. I watched all animes on phone including my favourites like aot, fmab, and also deathnote. Maybe watching studio gibhli movies at night on phone was not a good idea. So your parents dont allow you to use the TV? |

| Normal anime is on the TV but the cultured anime is on my phone. |

The colors still look different than on my Asus MX27AQ IPS monitor, which is set to Standard Mode for Picture and Normal for Color Temp. Skin tones aren't the same. Yeah, that's the problem. My TV is relatively well calibrated because I have a friend who owns actual calibration equipment. No one likes it. They say everything looks red, which is true, because the Warm 2 setting is usually the one that's closest to the industry standard. 99% of us are used to Normal (or even Cool), which is far more blue, so unless you spend a week with a calibrated TV you're always gonna see everyone as walking tomatoes. Your eyes just can't adjust that quickly. I don't recommend going down this rabbit hole though, because people get straight-up obsessed with having 100% accuracy on their equipment. There's a very good chance your Sony TV is actually closer to what a "Ridley Scott" wants you to see when he pumps out a new Blu-ray, but in the end all that really matters is what you enjoy. "Set it and forget it." I'm already well used to my Sony's colors. I like it. I'd describe Expert 1 and Cinema Pro as more yellowish than red, but I don't even notice it anymore. Real life is somewhat yellower than the computer colors we are used to, less blue, like you said.  I'm glad my photo didn't come out too terrible this time. My Asus monitor is redder.  It's impossible to make my monitor's colors look like my television's. The settings just aren't in the monitor's UI, and it's not a cheap monitor. |

| Phone when I have to, but most of the time on TV. When it's something I'm really excited about watching, it's good to have a friend that has a theater room too... |
I can't even function as a human being anymore. |
| My PC's hooked up to a TV that I use as a monitor so I guess it's partly the first option. I sometimes watch anime movies at the cinema when I can though~ |
 |
| very specific technique, i simply have my laptop in bed tilted to the side as i lay on my side and i binge for hours. i cant watch more than one episode if im not doing just that. |
 |
| I watch primarily on my phone, but sometimes I also like to watch on my PC but not for long because it's uncomfortable sitting on a chair for hours. However, it will be a fun experience to watch on TV. |
 |
| I usually watch on my computer except when I'm watching a movie or a really good show. |

| both :) i switch between but my laptop tends to be easier bc i have a lazy eye that acts up when i'm looking farther away |
  |
| Tablet but not pathetically- I get to stay in bed comfy ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ |
 Onizuka is my mood |
| TV, PC monitor, or my phone. Depends on what I'm doing/where I am. |

| well nowadays I dont watch anime but before, I watch anime in my laptop then switched to my phone. |
| From a phone in my room with headphones only. Don't wanna bother anyone else in my house. |
| <３ |
| I watch anime on a desktop or laptop. It's been going pretty well. As long as my internet doesn't disconnect. Then it's fine. |
 |
| I have a couch on my room, but i don't have a TV so i watch on my laptop. Sometimes at night i use my ps4 to watch it on the tv on the mainroom but i like to play more when using the ps4 than watching something. |
| TV. I usually try to watch on a streaming service if I can, but if I have to watch on a website or some other means, then I send it from my laptop to my tv. |
 |
| laptop connected with TV. outside (in train etc) with phone or directly laptop |
 |
| on my tv, or my laptop if i'm feeling extra lazy. with manga, however, i can read on either my laptop or phone with equal amounts of ease. |
| *insert emotional quote or waifu boobs* |
| I watch it on TV if I'm watching it with someone. On my laptop if my phone is charging. I watch it on my phone most of the times |

| Personally i watch on my laptop but sometimes when im outside i use my phone. Idk how ppl can watch using a desktop while sitting in a chair when it gets uncomfortable, the bed is the way to go |
 |
| I just watch it on my monitor when I am at my mom's. When I was at my dad's during winter and I got a new TV I watched some anime on it |
| Sometimes on laptop, sometimes on ipad, very rarely on my pc |
 |
| I have a Tv connected to my desktop computer and having 2 more monitors, either I watch it on my monitor or my TV I mounted on the wall whenever I feel. Sometimes and rarely I watch on my living room 4K TV if everyone at my house is asleep. |
 |
| Mostly on a tv but if I have to pirate or am editing footage on a monitor. Used to watch anime on the Wii U gamepad tho |

| I generally put my anime on a USB flash drive, and plug it into my 50" smart TV to watch it. The only exception, is if the video is in the HEVC/x265 codec, as my TV won't play those videos. I'm then forced to watch it on my computer, which has a 32" monitor. |

hohofish said: For me I watch from TV most of the time. (Play by a laptop connected with HDMI) When I'm at work I would have to watch from a monitor but man my company's monitor is shit. Please, edit the poll, you've missed one option. I watch my anime mostly in my Smartwatch:  |
 |
| I watch anime on my Laptop, I always do. I used to watch anime on the TV but our TV broke plus netflix doesn't have every anime or even most so I pirate anime (on my laptop) |

| I watch on both. Usually if I can find whatever I want to watch on Hulu or Netflix, or if I see something that catches my eye on Hulu or Netflix, i'll watch that on those. Everything else I do online. |

| I watch on my phone most of the time with my earphones on. Particularly, because I don't want any distractions and I can carry it anywhere. Tho my back actually hurts because I dunno how to position myself lol. But lately, I'm trying to switch on TV. I'm kinda overwhelmed lmao, I got so used to small screen. |
  |
| I haven't voted on your poll because there really should be a "it depends" option. |

AnimeDownUnder said: Well said, I noticed that I tend to focus mostly on subtitles when I'm watching on TV. That's why I ended up missing something and I have to go back. I guess that's the downside of it. Tho, it will work pretty well on dubs.I actually learned a trick, I watch anime on my computer but on the small default size player. I never use full screen to watch anime, but why you ask?....because naturally our eyes have tunnel vision and we don't focus on our peripherals. We only really see what's clear in a very small part of our vision in front of us. So by watching anime on a small player you essentially can read subtitles and watch anime at the same time without missing what's happening. The bigger the screen the more you will miss out on because our peripherals can't see everything, however on a small screen you don't miss anything. But if you watch too small then it's just a strain on the eyes and hard to read, so default player is about the right size on a computer |
