I watch them on my TV with my regular DVD player. Watching DVD's on the comp sucks! IMO..

I agree 100%. I can't stand grainy pixelated DVD images that computers produce, if you haven't compared a set-top player to the computer, you don't know what you're missing.

My DVD-ROM must've been the one of the biggest wastes of $$$. I watched about 1.5 movies on it. Gimme the ole TV anyday.

I agree with you 100% Windogg. I have watched maybe 2 movies on my computer, but tons on my DVD player for the TV.

Now if I had only used that money for something better than a DVD Rom :(

Used to watch them on my computer, but then I started buying them and got tired of sitting down in front of my 19&quot; to watch movies so I bought a separate player to go with the Wega:)

Same here, all on my puter til I can afford a nice HDTV. I don't wanna compramise on DVD player or the output medium... so i'm content with the 17&quot; monitor for now.

In the future, I'll be hooking up my puter to the HDTV with my infinite library of DivX :D

I watch all DVD's on my computer. My family can't afford a DVD player, so we don't have one.

I usually watch on my tv, but if someone is watching there I watch it on my comp.

The ONLY time I use the DVD-Rom is for screen captures.

I didn't spend MAD DOLLARS on Home Theatre to watch DVD movies on my PC!

yeah, used to watch on the pc, but then saw some on a widescreen tv, and thought other wise, now my folks got a set top, but they confiscated my CAmbridge FPS 2000...

Set top's are nice, but does any one get funny play back from the dvd of the Saint?

TV of course.... why the heck would anyone want to watch a DVD on a little bitty screen? Even on my 19&quot; Sony monitor it would be suck.

Besides, you should cuddle with your significant other while watching movies, not an option with the computer (at least for me).

I have a Pioneer 525 hooked up to my 32&quot; Panasonic flat screen... and I like it.
