How do you watch your anime? on a TV or monitor?
| I'm a pathetic human being who watches anime on her phone. I live with my parents and there's no way I'm ever gonna bother them with monopolizing the tv to watch japanese cartoons, and to tell the truth, I actually had no idea until now of the existence of monitors. I'm not even sure that's a thing in my country. If it is, you can laugh at me. If it's not, you can also laugh at me. (But phone is actually pretty good if you want to watch anime while lying comfortably in bed !) |
 |
| I usually watch on tv, but sometimes I'll watch on my laptop in bed. |
| I mostly watch anime in my Tab (sitting on my bed and keeping the tab on my lap). Sometimes, I watch in my laptop (while sitting in front of the desk where I keep my laptop). |
alshu said: I don't get the difference. If you don't use the tuner your TV is practically a monitor...and since they don't air much anime on the TV channels available to me... I guess you are right? I don't know much about color and stuff. TV is just good that you can watch it from a further distance. So you can sit/eat/drink more comfortably when you watch them. This become more essential when you watch continuously for over 2~3 hours. |

| Majority of the time I’m watching my tv while relaxing on the couch. I do however watch some from my iPhone while at work. I have a perfect spot I can put my phone so it’s out of site to anyone but me along with one earbud and I’m set! |
| 65inch TV always, without or without headphones, it depends on the hour. |
| When will Black Clover release new anime?! It has been 3 years already since March 2021... |
| 70% of the time I watch anime it's on the TV, and 30% on my pc. I pity the people that have to watch it on their phones, truly sad stuff. |

| I like watching anime on the TV so I watch anime via the Crunchyroll and Netflix app on the PS4. Of course if I'm pirating anime then I'm using my PC. |
 |
| I normally watch it on my phone over the week I can to watch it on the TV which is so nice T-T |
 |
| typically both. Usually I watch always on TV but for any anime that isn't licensed by Funi or Crunchyroll, I torrent and thus watch on my monitor. I dont have a smart TV to project videos to. |
 |
| trying to buy a projector so i can watch it on my wall but the price went up $40 from yesterday so i guess my laptop will have to do for now |
| I used to watch on my iPad when I tried watching on my laptop It was more comfortable so I started watching anime on my laptop :) |

| I switch between both but watching from my TV is much more comfortable . Using a phone for watching anime sounds awful . |
| Monitor + Phone. I don't watch on the tv |
 |
| TV, a 65 inch Sony 900e. Coaghim said: 65inch TV always, without or without headphones, it depends on the hour. Same. But surround mixes never with headphones. |
| I'll watch it on phone, tv, and pc. Doesn't matter to me but I prefer pc |

And monitors can have higher specs...which applies to gaming but no that much to anime. (My TV is only 1080p tho...still enough for most of the anime.) hohofish said: TV is just good that you can watch it from a further distance. This is a question of size. Watching smaller screen (but with similar resolution) from closer is the same as watching bigger screen from a distance. Usually this doesn't matter unless you a doing some body building exercises when watching or something. hohofish said: So you can sit/eat/drink more comfortably when you watch them. If feel more comfortable eating while sitting before my computer than almost lying on my couch. hohofish said: This become more essential when you watch continuously for over 2~3 hours. I prefer siting on a regular chair...for some reason I loose a bit of focus on the couch, which works for live action but not for animation where things can happen fast and small visual details are important. My major point here is: nowadays TVs are practically computer + monitor in one. The television receiving part (the tuner) is less and less used. More and more people stream the live TV programming via internet. Maybe we even should stop calling it TV any more. |

I guess yeah some people might find sitting in front of a monitor to watch anime more comfortable but for me I don't. I consider the monitor and TV two very different product and I don't think they can replace each other. The thing is, for TV you view it from a further distance, which is natural, it is designed that way. You wont be comfortable sitting right in front of a 40~60" TV. For monitor it is designed to be small to medium size because you use it with computer sitting right in front of it. For me I prefer size between 24~27". I don't like anything bigger or smaller. I guess there's a preference for everyone. For example a lot of people like to play video games with TV but for me I don't. I play my PS4 with my monitor and I like it that way, like you said it's easier to focus on details which is indeed important when playing a competitive game. But for watching anime relaxation is more important and I like TV more. |
| most of the time, I use to watch on PC monitor but occasionally, I watch on our flat screen tv. |
| Most times on my laptop, but recently I've been projecting my screen to my TV |
| All of the Above, I watch it on my TV, my PC, and my Smartphone. |
| monitor all the time sometimes tablet never on phone however because small screen hurts my eyes |
| 4k projector with a 120" screen . . . but occasionally I get lazy and just use my computer monitor. |
| I mostly watch from my tiny 1 inch phone screen, but if I'm watching a movie I'll watch it on my computer from a monitor |
 |
| On TV connected with my desktop via HDMI. |
 |
| Mostly on my laptop. But since i have prime and netflix i've started watching them on tv too. Truly a better experience |
| I watch anime on my laptop but I used to watch it on my phone before that. |
| I watch on my computer monitor as some anime can be awkward to watch with parents around. If parents are not home I will watch it on a TV sometimes tho. |
| thats what-she |
| I mostly used to watch on my laptop or pc but I didn't like after a while so I mostly watch in TV nowadays |

| Mostly on monitor. If it's become uncomfortable I switch to phone. |
| My phones, cause it smaller so i can read subtitle faster if i watched something like Tatami Galaxy or Saiki Kusuo. Also i'm a closet weeb, so i can only watch on tv when i'm alone at home |

| I would NEVER watch anime on TV. PC on top though. |
| i watch from monitor. Ps: Monitor with 144hz and above, will slightly ruin your joy. I use 240hz monitor and everything run not good. Even I watch with bluray player. |
 |
| I watch it on my laptop most of the time, the ones on TV on there of course, and sometimes I download episodes from Netflix on my phone and watch them during my free period in school |

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. hohofish said: TV is just good that you can watch it from a further distance. This is a question of size.

| TV or phone because I can watch it comfortably from my bed. |
  |
| Well well, I guess I'm pathetic now T_T |
 |
| I watch occasionally on the TV if it's a movie and/or a show I want to re-watch. But I MAINLY watch on my Laptop. |
| I mostly watched anime on television, I watched it with my brother but mostly we watched action or drama anime (FMA, FMAB, SNK, erased, mob psycho 100, akudama drive, JJK, KNY, made in abyss, OPM and TPN), Sometimes my parents would pass but they were not very interested in what we saw, but they were not a problem. and other comedy or ecchi anime I watch on my computer, since, well, it would be awkward for my parents to see me watching on television. |
