SMK Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I mentioned in a previous thread that I generally watch all my TV shows and movies (kung fu movies included) on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 tablet, at night when my son and wife are asleep, with earbuds. For me I find this the optimal viewing experience. My tablet has a higher resolution than any of my 1080P TV's in the house. Plus, watching with headphones/earbuds at night, I get to hear things much more clearly and direct, as opposed to having to trying and understand dialogue over other noises that cold be taking place in or around the TV, such as the sound from my AC, kids playing, dogs barking, etc. I also currently own a Galaxy Note 3, this phone has a 1080 5.5 inch screen, I have watched my fair share of media this way as well. If I had to put it in numbers, I'd say I enjoy TV/Movies; {TEXT1}70% {TEXT1}25% {TEXT1}5% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member KenHashibe Posted July 24, 2015 Member Share Posted July 24, 2015 My PS3 has a YouTube app so I can watch kung fu movies on my TV. Other than that, I usually watch them on DVD/VCD using my TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Lady Jin Szu-Yi Posted July 24, 2015 Member Share Posted July 24, 2015 I still prefer tv / dvd, but if I have to watch something on my computer besides a scene or two I will. The computer is my least preferred method of viewing though. When I commute, I use a phone. I will start Vengeance (1970) tonight on the way home.

Great film, might just be my all time favorite Shaw Brothers film. I still need to see many of the Shaw's classics so I could change my mind, and Furious Slaughter comes a close second. I didn't vote on the poll but I prefer to see films on a big screen. Saying that I have watched some films on my laptop but its just not the same experience. I also find it strains my eyes after an hour so tend to avoid if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are movies I've seen on my laptop and at the theater (no Fu but I can think of Iron Man 2 and Once Upon A Time In America), and they always looked much better and were much more enjoyable on the big screen.

Member Drunken Monk Posted April 18, 2018 Member Share Posted April 18, 2018 I've kind of put my DVD's to one side at the moment as I'm focusing purely on Blu Rays. I'll go back to DVD's eventually, of course. It's the only way I'll see some classics. But right now, it's all about Blu Rays on my tv. I don't use tablets, laptops or phones to watch kung fu. I suppose I'm a traditionalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member shaw golden Posted April 18, 2018 Member Share Posted April 18, 2018 i used to watch films on disc, but this was along time ago. ive since transferred the majority of my films to mp4 files and stored them on external drives, then playing files back on laptop, using a wireless mouse to navigate then linked from laptop direct to widescreen TV, to view relaxing on sofa. Its all about comfort isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DragonClaws Posted April 19, 2018 Member Share Posted April 19, 2018 Still watching films on large T.V screen via DVD/Blu-Ray, I'll never get into seeing a movie on a mobile phone. Why would you subject a lovely widescreen print of a movie, to being shrunk onto some small tech?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Omni Dragon Posted April 19, 2018 Member Share Posted April 19, 2018 I attach a DVD, BD or (less commonly VHS) player(s) or my desktop computer to a TV. I like the picture scaling options on computer software plus being able to take screenshots and converting the music into audio files (like I did with FULL CONTACT the other day:FULL CONTACT Airport Music.mp3) I don't own a tablet, or phone that would be capable of playing movies and I rarely use my laptop for anything now a days. It's a shame I've never actually watched a kung fu movie on film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can perfectly understand people who travel a lot using tech to view films, especially when you are spending hours waiting for planes, trains or coaches to turn up etc. However, if you are at home, why not choose a small screen over your own T.V?.

Member Fist of the Heavenly Sky Posted April 21, 2018 Member Share Posted April 21, 2018 With the exception of the Shout Big Boss blu ray release, I don't really go out of my way to buy home media at all. I'd rather much spend money on other things, and I don't really have the physical space for that stuff anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Koravec Posted April 25, 2018 Member Share Posted April 25, 2018 I've only ever really considered watching kung fu on a tv screen (flatscreen). And with that requires a near-perfect setup in my opinion. The idea of watching kung fu on a computer screen or laptop kind of appalls me, but I could see the use for that some late night half distracted with something else (surfing web). Would almost go as far as to say I dont even care about fight scenes out of the context of the movie, as opposed to the Millions! of youtube viewers watching clips. Would rather wait to buy the film than do that, but we're all probably similar in that aspect. Now the idea of watching fu on my phone has brought up new ideas in my head, could be enjoyed in so many more different contexts! Sure small screen but this sounds like it could have amazing potential. I watched every episode of Dr Katz on my ipod touch which was one of the best viewing experiences of my life.

Seconded, I have no interest in looking up fight scenes on youtube out of context from the rest of the movie. As I remember @KUNG FU BOB mentioning in another thread, it's a bit like loving a guitar solo in one of your favorite rock songs, then only bothering to listen to the solo without listening to the rest of it.

Member Drunken Monk Posted April 25, 2018 Member Share Posted April 25, 2018 I'll re-visit fight scenes on YouTube but I won't watch them if I haven't seen the film first. I actually like watching fight scenes I love over and over, especially if the film itself is shit. I also have a penchant for kung fu gif making so that involves watching a lot of individual fight scenes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
