I guess people also "cast" the image from their phone to the TV. My issue with these sites is that they must reencode the files, they would take too much space on their servers and use up too much bandwidth otherwise, they must look pretty bad on a TV. I don't know how people can use these pirate streaming sites, especially when spending decent money on a large TV, but each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tablet has OLED, my TV not. Of course if I would watch the movies on the tablet from a distance of 3 meters, that wouldn't be possible. But it is pretty close. What I have to admit, I have more "cinema feeling" if I use the TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeymaus Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 I have many movies legally downloaded. My source is "onlinetvrecorder.com". For about 20 Euros a year you can download there German, English, French and I think Spanish movies. For German content for instance you can download almost everything that was shown on TV in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. You can't download anything that wasn't shown on TV. There is also streaming available but I prefer to download. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered 3D years ago but opted not to for a couple reasons: - Big bulky glasses needed and costly for extra glasses on some models - Lack of media recorded in 3D Looking back, I am happy I didn't go with 3D.

That tells me you have eyesight problems to begin with. I take it you are then required to wear glasses (contact lenses) while driving.

I have a 3D camera. And also if you switch on the 2D to 3D conversion at 4K videos you get excellent 3D. The higher the resolution the better the result. But this TV was not the cheapest one. Most 3D movies were converted from 2D to 3D afterwards. And I could make an experiment with you. I display two photos on the TV - one from the 3D camera and a converted one. Even for me it is often not possible to tell which one is converted. But this kind of 3D is not for everyone. Some get headache. So far none of my friends had problems. Only one couldn't see 3D and a doctor told him afterwards that he needs an eye operation (lens replacement). He didn't realise this so much before.

I often watch on tablet / large phone and the picture size isn't a problem. The strain on the eyes can be though. Watching a large TV at a distance is easier on the eyes. I still do both though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest though the amount of movies I watch now is far, far less than it use to be. My entertainment of choice is now through Getflix and the iPlayer/ITVX/Ch4/Ch5 streaming services. Dropouts are also a thing of the past. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never looked for 8K but certainly seen 4K movies on Kodi with file sizes in excess of 30Gb. I can't watch them unless I download, but that is down to the internet connection and nothing to do with file size or TV. It is always each to their own.

jaywalker2 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 5 hours ago, BritManToo said: A 10" tablet gives the same viewing size as a 55" TV. According to chatGT: No, a 10 inch tablet does not have the same viewing size as a 55 inch TV. The viewing size, or the size of the image that you see on the screen, is determined by both the screen size and the distance between the screen and the viewer. Assuming that you are sitting at the same distance from both the tablet and the TV, the image on the 55 inch TV would appear much larger than the image on the 10 inch tablet. This is because the TV has a much larger screen size, and therefore, the image it displays is much bigger. In general, larger screens allow for a more immersive viewing experience, especially when it comes to movies or sports. However, the portability and convenience of a tablet make it a great option for on-the-go entertainment or for personal use, such as reading or browsing the web.

Poor choice of words referring to physical dimensions as opposed to logical image size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
