Got Something You Want To Say?

lol Yesh. I mean, I had a convo with Ralph about watching dramas on TV vs. on the Computer. And he's right. You get more involved when it's on the larger screen.

I can't imagine watching movies on an Ipod. Mebbe dramas, but then again, the subs would be so small I'd get frustrated.

@Eve: Do you work out at home? Or do you head off to a gym?

The funny thing about that is, he thinks his TV has better resolution that his computer monitor... Not true, unless he has a 1080p HDTV... ;)

Yeah, having a 27-inch TV on your bed and under your blanket is a little tough. :beaten: :hehe:

Just wishing I had a movie pod..........
Be so great to watch drama at the Gym. :beaten: :metaldevil:

I have a 9" panasonic portable DVD player. Never go to the gym without it. It fits perfectly on the elliptical machine display. Then with the great rythm of kuraki Mai the workout is just a pleasurable breeze. Can't wait for the next workout in between workouts..... On occasion I watch dramas also. I made a DVD compilation of my favorite endings which I watch a lot. It includes Pride, Friends, Sakura, Honma Mon, Prince's First Love, Star No Koi, Santuary and Nana. The endings DVD runs about 2 hours and often I get so engrossed I end up with 2 hours on the elliptical...
Yippee... :dancing: :dancing: :dancing:

Resolution may be the wrong term. It's just that the detail and colors are more vibrant on TV. Espcially shadows.... they look like blobs of blackness on the monitor and on TV there are real people and things in those blobs.
:bleh:

Imagine trying to watch eye candy like Kuraki Mai or Kuninaka Ryoko (or for BMW Yonekura Ryoko) on the dismal undetailed uncolorful blandness of a computer monitor. UGH.

Ahhhhhh this is true. Although my eye-candy is of a different breed, I see what you mean. For me, it's just not possible to watch on TV, since all sets are being constantly used by family members. :grumble:

Btw, Ralph, I LOVE Mat Fam! Thank you so much! :muack:

You're very welcome. Hope you did not have too much trouble navigating the menus. :crazy:

Nah, it was fine. Besides, since I watch dramas on my compy (:ashamed:) I was able to disect the episodes from the video folder. :victory:

I should be able to finish Mat Fam tonight. :fingerscrossed:

I have the same problem.... we have 2 TV's and one comp, and getting a free hour on any of them to watch an episode is a real hassle :(

LOL, you're Miyagi is ready for 2007, I see. :victory:

Excellent. :woot: :dancing:

Yep, i'm trying to decide how to make a hung-over Miyagi for New Year's Day :)

Hmm, that's odd: detail would be a resolution thing, I think... Colors would be a result of how you set your video card: 24/32-bit color is the same as that of a TV... You must have a crappy computer monitor.

Maybe the fact that a monitor is higher resolution (regular TVs have 500-600 lines of detail max and it's interlaced) that it exacerbates the lack of quality in the video cource.... :headscratch:

Heading over to my uncle's place soon to show him how to edit, author, and burn DVDs. :sweat:

I get excellent detail on my Lucroms Daewoo 17" monitor for computer related stuff. But now that you have me thinking about it, possibly the relative sizes make detail on a 27" TV come into greater focus than when they are compressed to a 17" monitor. My colors are super brilliant. So that I have to turn down the brightness.

Wow!! How do you manage? :doh:

We're two people with 3 TVs and 4 computers between us.

Its finding the hour to watch the drama thats difficult. :nut:

I used to be in that position as well. Then I got my sister hooked. Than my brother. One with Nobuta wo Produce, the other was Gokusen. But if you'll believe it, it's become more of a pain now, because plots twists are prematurely revealed, endings are ruined, character's are criticized, etc.
