Hand held or tv?

I played handheld for the longest time but I recently just got another monitor to go next to my desktop one so I've been playing New Horizons and other console games on that. I like having access to the internet like the forums and Youtube when I play so it's been much better playing on a bigger screen, I haven't played handheld since I got it.

Typing using the in-game keyboard was the only pain but I just set up Nook Link so it won't be a problem anymore~
 
i'm somewhat visually impaired, depends on the day... but since mine is connected to the main tv, mostly hand held and then tv late at night.
 
I play on TV most of the time, but sometimes I switch over to handheld. Kind of weird for me because I always prefer to play AC titles on handheld, but having it on the big screen is just too convenient.
 
I haven't played a single time on tv. Not opposed to it...just that handheld is easier and is ultimately what I've done since the start. Hahaha. I definitely want to see it at some point, just to see the graphics all big and shiny. But, yeah...almost 200hrs, and I've only done handheld.
 
the tv !!! its nice to play bc ive got it in my own room so its like My Area...tho i get some back neck pains after a few hours...i need to sit somewhere that isnt my bed oops
if i do handheld for more than 10 minutes my adhd starts kicking in and i try to check my phone too often to make Any progress at all
My adhd causes me to multi task when I play handheld. I should play on my tv more. The graphics are gorgeous. Now about your bed problem sit on the floor,, I used to sit on my bed but it makes me feel drowsy and unproductive. Get a nice bean bag or a chair and you'll be comfy.

I play ac on my lite so I never had the tv experience besides mario kart
 
i only play handheld! even bought an extra charging cable for it so i wouldn't have to stop playing to charge in the dock.
 
I'm 90% handheld. It's just more convenient for me. I can play in a chair, from my bed, or facing however I want.
 
Depends on where I am! If I'm in one partner's room I prefer to play on his TV since it's super close, but if I'm in my second partner's room or the living room I prefer handheld. I'm kind of blind so playing on a TV that's p far away hurts my eyes lol.
 
i played ww on ds and nl on 3ds so i bought the lite for NH - animal crossing just feels better for me as handheld :')
 
started playing on my tv!! later on switched to my monitor. got the switch lite and started playing handheld!
 
My switch is permanently on my second monitor :) love playing handheld if only 6 out of 8 of my joycons weren't drifting

Its also super convenient to have discord/forums open on the main monitor
 
I do both, if it's late at night I'll probably use the tv, but throughout the day I'll probably play handheld.
 
I like to do both! I actually prefer to play handheld if I'm fishing. For some reason, fishing feels "easier" when I'm playing handheld? Not sure why.
