The first one is that you can download any video you like and keep it with you to watch it again and again for as long as you like it. The tv users cannot do this and they have to rely on what the channels broadcast for them.Also the editing capabilities of the computer are very handy and one can change any video to his own likings and dislikings. Tv users do not have any such option available.I would prefer computer over the Tv because first, the computer is a multipurpose machine and has become a necessity and if the computer can also do the job of a tv then why keep two different machines instead of one single multipurpose machine.

Vistz 1 Report post Posted October 18, 2010 I feel like it would be a good idea to compare computers to TV's in terms of price as well. A TV is generally more expensive than a computer. Therefore, using this logic, it would be a better idea to use a computer to watch videos and TV shows rather than a TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yordan 10 Report post Posted October 18, 2010 A TV is generally more expensive than a computer.Generally, but not always.Very often a PC has a 14 inches to 22 inches display.A 14 inches or a 22 inches TV is far less expensive than a computer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grim reaper1666 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2010 computers also have monitors with less space in between the pixels making it easier for reeading texk whiel tvs have more of a gap between each pixel. even hd tvs the ones the are different are 1080p displays has they are not loaded every other line of pixels. computers run what you want when you want tvs need a dvd player to do that but they need a games console to play games. once you have a tv you don't need to upgrade it to play the latest games but eventually a new console will be released.

Illustrious 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2010 I seldom watch television channels on the TV. Instead, I hook up my computer to my TV using S-video and RCA audio cables. I enjoy it much more than regular TV. I download tons of movies onto my external hard drive and have my movies to watch whenever I want to.The best thing about having to connect the computer to the TV is the fact that I can play 8-bit games on a big screen. I have a Classic NES USB controller that I can use with a USB extension cord to play SNES/NES games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
