It's all relative. If i sit a few meters away from a 50 inch screen, then it's roughly the same size as a phone screen held 30cm from my face. It's just a matter of perspective.
The level of detail i can see is the same. My fancy earbuds make the sound quality essentially the same if not better.
The only real difference is i have to hold the phone to watch it.
Well, most people... not me, I have a folding phone with a stand, so for me, i can comfortably put the phone on a table on the stand that's built into the case and watch from there. Works just fine.
I'd have to hold me phone so close to my face I can't comfortably focus on it to match the relative size of my computer monitor, and it's not a big monitor. Why would I settle for the jumbotron from the cheap seats when I can sit front row?
