What devices do you primarily use for streaming? Do you have an android box like Telkom's LIT or an Apple TV? Or do you rely on a Smart TV or forgo the larger screens in favour of your laptop, tablet, or phone?
 
For video streaming: Other. Desktop with a 27" screen is my make-shift TV. Have a fairly small lounge area in my flat so it works.

A bigger display would be nice, but I stream so little that it doesn't even justify the monthly R99 for netflix, never mind the up-front purchase of a big TV (I say TV but I really mean display, I'd probably get one of the big Mecer ones if I were thus inclined because I don't want to faff with a TV licence).

For music streaming though, mostly laptop because that's where I sit most of the day...

to TV, I'm permanently connected to my 32" TV as a 2nd monitor with laptop screen shut.
If it's a really good movie I pull out the HDMI and connect the other HDMI to my 55" TV
 
Android box - not often
Wife's Samsung J8
My Dell laptop
 
Shield on the TV, and occasionally my macbook if I want to watch something in bed
 
Oh, ya, I sometimes have the cycling on a second screen during the afternoon during work, but I guess that technically yet another linux laptop.
 
Have a raspberry pi running plex connected to a NAS, that doesn’t count as streaming though

Xbox one S with HdMi pass through as my main TV source... I use showmax Netflix and plex on there.
