A Samsung internet Blu-ray player, a Roku box and now more recently Apple TV has something very useful in it: Vimeo. If you don’t have an internet TV or your TV doesn’t have Vimeo, there are many add on devices that give it. ![]() TV screens are of course optimised for video and suddenly everything looks so much better. Computer screens are not flattering to video, as they are not optimised for it and are too bright. It gets my more or less undivided attention (mobile phone can still ping!), big screen, I am comfortable, and everything looks better through internet TV, despite the blow-up to the much bigger screen. This for me was a revelation and from that moment on I loved internet TV.Īdvantages of this are simple. Sitting at my TV, I can now click on “watch later” and I can catch up properly on stuff people have sent me. I linked up my Vimeo account to the TV and I could watch all my stuff on the TV, and also whenever someone sent me a link to watch when I was at my computer, I would click on “watch later” and it would go into that queue. Then I got a new TV for my bedroom, a Samsung LED one and that had Youtube, BBC iPlayer but more importantly Vimeo. I looked at some stuff on Youtube but as many of you know, finding good stuff on there is hard. It has Dailymotion and Youtube but not Vimeo. My first internet TV was my Panasonic TV. Emails popping in, tweets etc…yes full screen helps but it’s just never an enveloping feeling like when watching stuff on a TV. It needs my undivided attention and when I’m at my computer getting my attention is hard. When I am at my computer, yes I could have it on whilst doing other stuff, but that’s not fair as I mentioned. I get sent a lot of requests to watch stuff, and it’s tough finding the time. On my large flat screen TV…and you know what? It’s about 100 times better watching something on my TV than on my laptop. When I watch a movie, it’s an all in one thing. So if I have a spare half hour and am sitting on my sofa these days having a bite to eat or just chilling, do I turn on my Sky box and watch TV or do I actually watch something more useful with my time? Sure there are loads of films I can watch but I do not watch them in chunks. Now, how many times have you sat on your sofa flicking through dross on your TV but given it way longer than 20-30 seconds before switching over? I have lost many a half hour to stuff I would never plan to watch, simply because I am comfortable on my sofa and my boredom tolerance is a lot higher. Not fair on the filmmaker but it is a pretty standard thing to happen. ![]() Or most likely, if it doesn’t grab you within 20-30 seconds, you are onto something else or skimming it. Watch something at your laptop or desktop computer, and you end up having it in smaller windows whilst you multitask. Our attention spans have gotten pretty short – mine certainly has. I just love the service! This may come across as a bit of blogvertorial but it isn’t! I am not currently sponsored by Vimeo or affiliated with them.
