Whilst the visual experience may not be the best you can achieve.
I must say I've watched and enjoyed more films in the last 2 weeks viewed on
my 2" screened media player than I've managed to watch in the 2 years
before.
I can watch a film anywhere I end up with time on my hands but no access to
a 32" TV.
I often find it's the sound that carries a film and I've enjoyed all that
I've watched.
If I want to see a particular visual experience I go back and watch that
part on DVD.
