What’s Your Screen?
So… my TV has cracked the snots and doesn’t want to show a picture any more. Yes, like most others we have more than 1 TV but this is the one in the living area and the one that is usually always on.
The kids still watch TV up stairs but they don’t watch as much TV as they used to. I’ve also seen them spend more time doing other activities – reading, playing, games etc and this is a really good thing that I want to encourage.
I don’t usually watch TV when it was actually on and let my PVR take care of recording shows for me – but when I watch my pre-recorded shows I liked to watch them on the TV in the living area.
Now, what I find really surprising is that while I am missing the large screen after a short while, I’m perfectly happy watching these shows on my laptop with my ear buds.
So what’s my preferred screen – I prefer to not have to watch shows on a laptop and wear earphones but once your involved in the content the engagement is about the same as a large screen 2.5 metres away. This also correlates to some posts I have seen stating that an iPad at 10″ from your face is just as engaging as a movie on the big screen.
Do you agree? What’s your screen?
