Picture quality? What kind of theaters are you going to? What TV do you have?
3 comments

I saw a movie in a theater for the first time in forever last weekend. At one point I was distracted by lines in the screen where the sky was projected - it was the actual screen, not part of the projection. This was an iPic, so not cheap tickets

If streaming services could handle busy times without artifacts my LG 4K 77in would always be a better experience for all content

As a recent example, we went to an animated film and could see lots of artifacts on the image. It wasn’t the theater’s fault. But also, picture quality isn’t just a matter of source. I can change the output of my TV to whatever I want. The theater gives me the combination of whatever the staff set up plus the file from the studio.
My local movie theater has a 70mm projector. Not gonna get that at home no matter what setup one has.
