What you watch it on

[Qonundrum]

Multiple choices allowed as applicable, they're broken down into 5 categories (Size, screen refresh frequency, audio, effects type, media viewed on)

So I have an itty bitty 49" screen, which does 120hz refresh rate and using an image processor to simulate frames to create fluidity (and I keep it turned on since that VIDFire style soap opera fluidity has grown on me, oddly). I prefer original sound (mono or stereo as applicable per series) but for some episodes (TBOBW) you bet I turn on 5.1 because they finally got the Borg audio to really work. Then comes what type of disc or streaming.

P.S. I apologize for being more pedantic than Troi's father’s brother’s mother's nephew’s cousin’s former uncle.

Trek needs a big screen to appreciate it. I favor the TNG blurays - will lie on the floor in front of the tv watching it, soaking up the HD.
It's come a long way from watching the VHS tapes with the commercials from the 90s still interspersed throughout. I still have them all, though!

 

[Vger23]

109 inch screen with an Optima UHD 4k projector. 7.1 surround. Bluray when available (all movies, TOS, TNG). 4k HDR for Star Trek Beyond.

 

[Ovation]

85” screen with 1080p projector
TOS, TNG, ENT, all 13 movies—Blu-ray (TMP Director’ Cut on DVD)
DSC—HD PVR (Canada)
DS9, VOY—SD on Netflix
Also occasionally watch in living room with 32” SD CRT (various media)
Also occasionally stream on my iPad—Netflix (HD or SD, depending on series)
All audio in original format where possible (not always available with streaming)

Have Errand of Mercy on VHS with VCR hooked up to 13” SD CRT. I use that gear to cue up things for class that are still not available in other formats (though that diminishes every year). Every once in a great while I take a trip down memory lane and pop in Errand of Mercy (lately to show my kids what TV watching used to be like—they remain unimpressed ).

I watch a video from an early noughties phone pointed at a black-and-white CRT television playing worn out home-recorded VHS tapes. The sound is mono and out of sync.

 

[BillJ]

40" or 50" 4K TV, depending on the room, Blu-ray (most of the time), original f/x, enhanced sound, 60 hz.

 

[XCV330]

I used to use a screen but now I have a big window installed that looks out into space

 

[Push The Button]

Even back in the mid 70s, on my old 13” B&W set, with the grainy picture from the UHF station in Boston 50 miles away, it was glorious.

 

[JKM]

65 inch UHD 4K Curved Samsung tv with 4k player for the newer movies and play Blue Ray for the others. Also tv has a Sound Bar

Had the same setup back then.

A couch.

 

[tomalak301]

I have a 40 something inch TV, all the blu rays except for DS9 and Voyager and the original and the animated (Other than the Animated, I have the rest on DVD) and I also stream CBSAA.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Now streaming. Originally anywhere from 13 to 27 inch. Never had bigger than 27 until I was a grownup with money.

If new Trek ever comes back to broadcast TV my current TV is 48”.
