If you watching movies on your computer, do you watch it in your bed? I watch movies on my laptop and in my bed. Some people need to watch movies on big screen, for me laptop is big enough to see what I want to see. What is your preference and why?

I am watching movie in my laptop and also in my desktop. But I watch only movie in a proper place like in my audio visual room or in my entertainment room using my desktop or to my laptop. I use only my laptop inside my room or to my bed if I have a someone need to talk in chat room.

I like to watch my movies on my 20" computer screen, you don't need a TV to watch movies as long as your monitor is more than 19".

I go three ways here. 1. I have a 50" big-screen with surround sound and all that jazz that I usually watch movies on. 2. I have a 22" widescreen monitor that works great to watch movies (usually TV shows I may have missed) on there when I am taking a break from work and not on MyLot 3. I have a widescreen laptop that I can use to watch movies from as well. In bed... where I am now (thought you needed to know that!). Thanks great post. Zelo

Bed is always a good place to snuggle up and watch a good movie... finish up and then go right off to sleep. Sweetest of dreams. Zelo.

I prefer watching on the Tv, even though the clarity is better on my laptop.

yes, for some reason clarity is much better on small screen...

Hi polachicago! Sometimes I watch movies in my computer but not in my laptop because my laptop is really an old model. hehe.. However, I prefer watching movies on TV and really don't watch in bed. We don't have TV in our bedroom. Take care and have a nice day! :)

All I have is my computer, my laptop to be exact. The lap top is fine to watch TV or movies on for me. I don't mind the big screen but it is not necessary. Ainge

No you are not. My laptop is my life you could say. However on TV after all the days news is gone and I can turn off the bs of the day. I have a tendency to watch Family Guy and Futurerama. Ainge

I have a 27" in my bedroom, but prefer to watch stuff on my 60" in the TV room. In fact I am about to get a 72" DLP HDTV. That type of screen gets you right into the action in a way a smaller screen never will. You are there!!!

hey same here! Whenever I watch the stuff that I've downloaded I will always watch it on my bed. Hmm come to think of it, whenever I use my laptop in my room I will be using it on my bed. More comfy ;)

When I watch a movie I like to see the graphics and I can see them better on a big screen. I have watched it on computers before but I just prefer to watch them on the tv.

I want to warch movies in Big screen Only. I prefer a cinema. In Cinema you don't have commercial break or you don't have option to change the channel. You will be able to watch the full movie with 100% attention and that gives 100% satisfaction. It also gives a sort of togetherness if you are going for the movie with family or friends

Nope. The room's not big enough for it. I usually watch them on TV if it's something I like but that happens rarely.

I know people that watch movies on their iPods but are not happy with a TV unless it is 50 inches. I usually watch on TV. I keep my computer out of the bedroom, I am addicted to it enough when I am up. I brought it into the bedroom, I would wake up during the night and pick it up and start using it, which would not be a good thing. I have never watched a movie on my computer -- yet.

You are right - it is a great fun watching movies on computer, while sitting on your bed. I watch movies on my computer, but it is a Desk Top. My PC is not in my bed room, so I cannot enjoy the luxury of watching a movie while lying down on my bed. I just sit on my sofa and enjoy the movie. Nonetheless, no comparison can be made between a full screen and computer monitor. It is always more enjoyable to watch a movie on a big screen than on a computer monitor. Sometimes, I see movies on computer because I cannot spare time to watch it in a theatre. :):)

I watch movies, and televison shows all the time on my computer. I try to watch them with my family because I have a 22 inch flat panel monitor so its like watching it on television, and if thats not good enough I can watch them connected to my television. There is a great site that I go to that has all kinds of movies and tv shows its awesome, I think that you'd like it. www.joox.net Its great.
