...had to see movies only on 35mm projections, we'd be enjoying about 0.01% of the movies we do now.

My 3-panel LCD-type projector, an Epson 1080UB, is adjusted to make most movies look quite natural, at least in mine and the majority of my friends' opinions. Those images look very little like those on plasma and other flat-screen TVs as seen in the stores.

I project on a 2.35 screen*, and my seating distance produces a viewing angle of almost 42 degrees. The entire experience, including the audio thru my 6-channel tubed preamp, mostly SET-tubed amps, and high-efficiency OBLA speakers, is very rewarding.

And that 6-channel audio system sounds fabulously natural playing Classical SACDs.

And just because TVs in stores are adjusted with WAY too much white level, black level, saturation, and graininess...oops, sharpness...doesn't mean they all look that way in home theaters.

* and fill the screen with Panavision movies by zooming the lens and carefully positioning the image
