I have to agree with Mark that visit to movies theater is a social experience
that enhances movie experience. It's still a "magic". I even think that movies
are made for movie theaters and TV shows are made for TV's. Movie theaters now
are a part of our culture and I hope it will stay this way for a very long time.
I think direct view may be at 100" sooner in many homes then projection. Maybe
in the future that will be a part of home construction. If these screens will
be giant "iPads" with touch screen or better "hand wave" control the 4K native
resolution may have a place there. However, I think Video transmission at 4K
may be redundant because viewing of this material has to be done at some
distance.
Best Regards,
Mike Tsinberg
