I use the bigger link generally. I like the larger size without all the clutter.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I sometimes use the "bigger" link. Especially for Google Videos as they look the best zoomed. Otherwise I just watch it normally, usually with the comments open, in case I want to leave a comment while watching. I very rarely go to YouTube.

I find their pages too busy and distracting. I remember a while back they had an auto-play ring-tone banner that was really annoying. (disclaimer - we love you youtube, please don't cut off our bandwidth )

size does matter!

as for VS ... i use the reg play button. sometimes i even look at another page while a vid is playing *GASP* i know!

I have a Acer 19'' widescreen monitor with a 1440 by 900 resolution, using Firefox I usually have two browser windows one for sifting and videos while the other is for reading Neatorama, BBC news and various other blogs and information sources.

I don't think I can go back to a 4:3 aspect ratio anymore, viewing everything is so comfortable using 16:10.

sounds like we have the same monitor, farhad!!! i LOVE mine!

CRT FTW! I wished I had more room for a bigger screen, but my room and desk are tiny.

We onced plugged out 32" HDTV into the computer for a while. I tell you, whenever someone signed in on MSN, i would have to turn my head from watching a video to see who had signed in.

LOL, TVs are funny. We got a big screen last winter which I'm tempted to hook up to my system... except it's downstairs, so that's not happening.

I have a nice 17" NEC LCD but after playing with my work laptop at home this weekend I've fallen in love with the idea of using two monitors at the same time - it is so cool to have vids on one monitor and some other items on the other...

I usually open up a bunch of vids in tabs, and go through them in some order, and sometimes open up another window to read items while watching/listening to the music vids.

Emily Haines FTW!!!!
