Where do you stand on this issue?<\/p>\n<h6><!--more--><\/h6>\n<p>I have a subway commute every day, and I enjoy using that time to watch movies on my Android phone. I find this a very good way to make use of my DVD collection that I no longer find acceptable to watch on my projector. The low-res DVD image just looks terrible blown up to a large home theater screen, but it looks perfectly fine when ripped to my computer and then transferred to my phone. <\/p>\n<p>I try not to make this my first viewing of any movie, and I probably wouldn&#8217;t watch movies that I consider <em>important<\/em> on the tiny screen. But disposable movies that I don&#8217;t care too much about make a great timewaster on the subway.<\/p>\n<p>What about you? Do you have strong feelings one way or the other?<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-11\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form id=\"polls_form_11\" class=\"wp-polls-form\" action=\"\/blog\/index.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_11_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"fca5861d94\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poll_id\" value=\"11\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Do You Watch Movies on a Portable Device?<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-11-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-43\" name=\"poll_11\" value=\"43\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-43\">I enjoy watching movies on a phone or portable device.<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-44\" name=\"poll_11\" value=\"44\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-44\">I refuse to watch movies on such a tiny screen.<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-45\" name=\"poll_11\" value=\"45\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-45\">I'll watch movies on a portable device only when desperate.<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-51\" name=\"poll_11\" value=\"51\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-51\">I'll watch TV shows on a portable device, but not movies.<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><input type=\"button\" name=\"vote\" value=\"   Vote   \" class=\"Buttons\" onclick=\"poll_vote(11);\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#ViewPollResults\" onclick=\"poll_result(11); return false;\" title=\"View Results Of This Poll\">View Results<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-11-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems that some people enjoy watching movies on a phone or portable device, while others \u2013 especially home theater purists \u2013 refuse to watch movies on such a small screen.
