<p>Desktop and Android monitors solve the same event problem with different constraints. Choosing wrong usually means battery death, a blocked port, or a machine that cannot sit in a bag.</p>
<h2>When desktop wins</h2>
<p>Long sessions, multiple rooms, large charts, and webhook fan-out all prefer a plugged-in Windows machine. Keyboard shortcuts and a second monitor reduce misclicks during gifts.</p>
<h2>When Android wins</h2>
<p>A phone in a pocket can follow a single room while you are away from the desk. Foreground services and notification channels matter more than chart density. If the OS kills the process, you have no archive.</p>
<h2>Battery and radios</h2>
<p>Hotspot plus 24/7 capture plus screen-on is a thermal problem. Use a charger, disable unused radios, and test a four-hour run before you trust the device on a real show.</p>
<h2>Notification design</h2>
<p>Phone alerts should be reserved for thresholds you will actually act on. Desktop can show more toast noise because it is not in your pocket during dinner.</p>
<h2>Shared operator habits</h2>
<p>Use the same room list, the same gift thresholds, and the same archive naming on both platforms. Tool switching should not require a new mental model every night.</p>
