How do you guys view your digital photos?

How do you guys view your digital photos?

Computer monitor obviously, but I mean after that. Say you want to
show a bunch of people a few dozen shots.

o Digital projector?
o HD TV?
o Prints?

Do digital projector and HD TV give enough resolution?

Computer monitor. Most often on other peoples' monitors when I'm
visiting. I keep them on my web site.

Yes. Well, a 1080p monitor gives more pixels than I normally put in my
web versions of the photos. "Enough" is kind of a subjective concept.

Just got my wife a 'digital picture frame' for Christmas - that's fairly
cool. I print a few now and again, and post some on my web site.

A portable digital photo viewer. It also hooks up to your TV to display
pictures on the screen.

My wife got this for me for my birthday. It is the Photoco PhotoShare7
with optional lithium ion mattery.

I use my laptop. TV just doesn't come close.

A good projector or HDTV should be fine unless you're doing something
specialized. You can get 1600x1200 projectors for 50 grand or so, or
there's a 2048x1536 model availble for a quarter mil.

Uh, HDTV isn't "TV". A good one will have higher resolution than most
laptops.

Any of them are fine. Even a NTSC TV is fine for showing photos
(although not for text on the computer).

How many people are you showing it to though? I think it basically
comes down to the size of the image, resolution doesn't matter that
much for photos. So projector would be best.

It is interesting to note how few people PRINT their images.
If people are primarily going to view their work on a TV, HD TV,
Laptops, Portable viewers, Desktop monitors or even 4x6 prints, why on
earth do they buy 6-8+ MP cameras.
The finest resolution HD TVs and Desktop Monitors top out at 2 MP.
If camera manufacturers realize this, they should concentrate on making
a killer 3-4 MP camera (to allow ample cropping) with great glass and a
5 micron pixel pitch rather than accellerating this crazy MP race with
1/2.7" sensors.

For my top 10% of my keepers, I am primarily an 8x10 person. For my top
1%, I go 11x14

Yes, BUT, the display spreads the image across a much larger area
resulting in a picture which doesn't look as good, and the aspect ratio
of the widescreen (16:9) is much different from the usual 4:3 or 3:2.
The results in a display that is either distorted, or doesn't use all
the display's available pixels.
A plasma monitor with 1080i will probably look pretty good, but a
standard analog display TV looks terrible for displaying static images,
and the image resolution is terrible.
