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? 🤔)
I have a pretty good setup at home (65" oled with 7.1 sound system) so I rarely go to theaters.
Also every time I go to theater I’m disappointed with something, people making noise while eating, bad audio (I went to a Dolby theater to watch Dune 2 and they cranked it up so high that it was saturated as hell) or poor noise insulation (hearing the rain from outside during silent desert scenes was a bit confusing).
Anyways, I think I would struggle to watch anything in less than 720p and/or with bad audio
