When I was a teen, I would watch stuff mostly on my phone and sometimes a low-end laptop that’s like 1366x768 resolution, cuz that’s all I had.
Now I have slightly better displays, I use headphones now, but still I’m probably not going to a movie theater any time soon, mostly because I’m not used to it, and also because the Post-Covid fear still lingers, not to mention, a crowd of too many people making me anxious, and various factors (mostly anxiety of other people, but also: yaRrr 🏴☠️). I mean, its just something I never experienced so its too much anxiety for me, and home viewing experience is more relaxing, even if it isn’t the IMAX experience.
(btw: Does anyone actually enjoy theaters? 🤔)
Agreed! This is how i watch too. Last two times I’ve gone to theatres was for both Dune movies. Otherwise, its just home.
Very true for both audio and sound. There are just films made by specifically for large formats and higher quality set ups.
Its great that you have headphones OP as it’s a step. If you still enjoy what you’re seeing, that’s all that really matters IMO. Not everyone is privileged to have a nice home system set up which is I think why theatres are still a thing.
More information on sounds and subtitles that I watched a few weeks ago. I also watched a video on TV modes and the differences of visual on theatre vs TV vs mobile but can’t recall the video.
