This is probably an old subject, but I'm curious now that we have sub $5000 Home projectors (e.g. Sony SXRD VPL-VW40) doing 1080p/24fps has the quality of home theater exceeded the local cinema's digital projectors?
Consider the VPL-VW40 can output 1920x1080 on a a 300" screen (25 feet) but I would wager most home theaters projectors are projecting on screens
Seems like projecting 1920x1080/24fps on a 150" (home theater) screen would provide more than twice the resolution of 4096x2160/24fps on a 55 foot screen... Maybe I'm misunderstanding this technology, but it seems like when you make screen size relative, the home equipment has surpassed the professional gear and at a fraction of the cost.
This would also be a good example of why 1080p is the pinnacle for home use. Going up to a 300"/25 foot screen 1080p can match the quality of the pro gear in terms of resolution:screen size and most consumers are opting for the
