The tv is better cause it is a bigger screen.

Computer!

I like the computer better.

I can do computer stuff and then choose to watch TV on it to relax

I am finding for me that it is more relaxing to watch TV than it is to be on the computer.

To me it seams the computer puts me into a false "I am doing something" mode and I can not rest but yet if I watch TV I can set back and relax and be entertained.

Is this true for you or can you relax while on the computer?

I know exactly what u mean cuz for many years, i feel computer is not relaxing, n i avoid it. Later I appreciate computer internet gets u lots of things that TV is limited. Now i watch from pc a lot and added small good speakers. U can even connect computer to TV if it helps u relax, n get best of both. Now I try to strike a balance.

Yes, but I don't even have a tv. I Watch on the computer, it's more relaxing, but I can't watch so long.

Just depends on what I'm doing.

Really, what determines my relaxation level is the chair I'm sitting in more than what monitor I happen to be looking at.

I tend to do both at the same time, so I have no idea which does it for me. Although if I opt for my desktop computer over my laptop, it's pretty peaceful to sit in my office with the window open so I can hear the birds in my yard.

I watch TV using a computer the majority of the time. Buying a TV wouldn't be worth the money for me.

Laptop.

 

[TheOliveSeed]

Because I rarely watch Tv, I'll have to say Computer.

True...

 

[colorblindlover]

Depends on what I am using it for and what time of day. If I'm watching a movie or TV shows I prefer TV so i can lay down and watch. But if it's getting late I switch to laptop so as not to bother the parentals. If I am looking to watch videos, tutorials, or do other work, I do it on my computer.

 

[Skylynne]

Computer, I don't watch much T.V.

 

[JackofSpades]

I think computer is fundamentally better because you can watch TV on comp, but not other way around.

 

[sundewgrower]

Can't stand TV. Computer is best for me.

Actually you can, since HDTVs are essentially glorified computer monitors (and the inverse; my monitor is like a stripped-down, small HDTV - it's just missing a channel tuner and an infrared input for a remote). As long as you can use HDMI*, it's do-able.

*HDMI is the easiest and most widespread these days, but some graphics cards did/do have older analog outputs (Composite, S-Video, or Component) and HDTVs will sometimes/often have D-Sub or DVI connectors. In school, some of our teachers had setups like this and were able to hook their standard CRT televisions up to their computers for class demonstrations. I assume via Composite or S-Video, considering the time period.
