Laser-illuminated projection (LIP) is finally becoming available for the general public to view in commercial cinemas around the world. I've been very impressed with the LIP systems I've seen—they generally exhibit deeper blacks and thus greater dynamic range than lamp-based projectors—and I encourage anyone who lives near a LIP-equipped theater to check it out.

Unfortunately, you might not know if you live near such a venue, so I've compiled a list of theaters with a LIP system. I've separated them into three groups: the upcoming Dolby Cinema locations with Dolby Vision high dynamic-range LIP, currently operating Imax LIP theaters, and other venues around the world with this technology.

Of course, there may well be other locations I haven't found yet; if you know of any, please let me know in the comments or by PM, and I'll add them to the list. Plus, this technology will be installed in a growing number of theaters—Imax says it has sold over 70 LIP systems so far—so stay tuned to this thread for updates. Hopefully, there's one near you now; if not, there might be soon. In my opinion, it's well worth the trip and expense to see something you can't get at home—at least, not yet.
