This is like saying "$100 wine is not for me."

I want $10,000 a bottle, or nothing.
Perhaps you have not experienced a 10 foot screen with good projector in your room.
There is no limit to what's available. I once installed equipment in Rupert Murdock's home theater in lower Manhattan. There was a projector room with two 35mm projectors and one huge DLP one. Full time projectionist. The films were delivered to him straight from the vaults of 20th Century Fox.
Perhaps THAT home theater model would make you excited? :)

Not if I had to suffer Murdock. You said, "sufficiently." Not for me. - tinear 14:56:10 06/02/20 (0)
It's a far bigger compromise and I would not be satisfied having seen 10' tall lips (not screen, that's still small).

And you're taking a lot of license with logic: I don't have Murdock or Croesus pockets. A typical 65" screen experience vs theater screen is more like bookshelf speakers compared to large full-range...

Saddest thing in the world is these fellows with their massive home systems. I knew one who invited me to watch a film: he had the plush theater seats, even a popcorn machine (from one of his shuttered theaters). His wife, somewhat exasperatedly, confided to mine that he invited "just about everyone!"

Similar situation to larger sailboat owners: they die of loneliness. No one wants to play with their toys.
