"Well, has your smartphone changed the way you look at your television?"

Andrew Shoemaker Yah! My phone not being the one that i want, I spend more time looking at the phone that i want on the internet than watching things at my regular tv... so... yeah my phone changed the way i look at tv.

Andres Castañaza I dont see tv anymore (4 years clean) since I decide that the only reason I use my tv is to play games.... and have a netflix account, there is no reasson to see tv in the house

Jayson Mattoon Maybe if you have a lackluster television. An ISF calibrated Sony XBR will fix this problem ;)

Aaron Makeham Yeah, I think everyone wants retina display lol.

Gary Bowling I have 20/15 Vision, I can see the difference in a 1080P display, but 720P is not a deal breaker. I have a Note 2 and it looks fine. I picked the N2 over the Droid DNA. I am pretty sure people had the same opinion of 720P on phones.
