What is your preferred screen, TV, iPad, Laptop, or phone?

iPad for me. Couple of reasons:

  1. Apple TV is great for Zwift with its native app, but having to mirror my phone for TR is just one more hassle I don’t want to be bothered with. Even if there was a native app, it only supports 2 Bluetooth connections.

  2. For my personal living situation, I can have the bike on the trainer with the iPad attached permanently in the corner of the living room. If I want to use the TV I have to rearrange furniture.

I’m in a condo so I use my iPad for TrainerRoad and Zwift (though I’m thinking of canceling the latter). The TV is in front of but off to my left, as my trainer is setup on the side of the living room. It’s close enough to watch trash TV or play music. Used to pull the trainer to be centered in front with Zwift on the TV but moving it back and forth got old real quick, so I rearranged the whole living room.

I don’t like to run either on my phone because I use that for messaging and other entertainment or distractions while on the trainer.
