If it seems like just about everyone is watching video on smaller and smaller screens, you’re not crazy. Research firm Ooyala has noticed a global trend away from watching content on larger screens and toward more mobile options.
Internet-connected TVs still grab the lion’s share of the video-watching pie for content longer than 30 minutes, but mobile devices rule the shorter video market. From Ooyala’s research:
For video content more than 10 minutes in length, tablets accounted for 57% of users, compared with 52% for connected TVs, 40% for PCs and 33% for mobile phones.
Indeed, the second quarter saw video on mobile devices account for 44% of consumption, which was up 74% from the prior-year period. By the end of the year, Ooyala projects mobile to account for 50% of all video consumption.
Do you find yourself streaming Netflix or downloaded content on your mobile phone or tablet more than on your TV these days?

Nope… big screens only.
Youtube and other short online videos I would use a mobile device. If I’m watching a show or movie I would want to watch it on the biggest screen that I have which is 120″. More immersive, better sound quality, etc.
