Do you prefer watching movies on TV or computer?

When you rent DVDs, or obtain movies in other (legal) ways, do you prefer watching them on your television or your computer screen?

I find that the resolution on my computer monitor is much better than my television, and my computer speakers are also better on my computer.

I'd rather watch movies on TVs and keep my computers neat without having those unncessary stuff on.

TV All the way because I hate my sound system.


Everyone: Would it be worth it to get nicer speakers and watch them on a computer?

I've occasionally watched movies on my computer, but I prefer listening through my TV. I've got a 36" Toshiba TV, Kenwood receiver with Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS surround sound and Energy Take 5 speakers. I ran Monster cable through the walls to the rear speakers. It looks and sounds great! Like being in the theater.

And for what it's worth, DTS kicks Dolby's ass when it comes to sound quality.
