...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

Admit it - you were waiting for a post like mine as an excuse to show your system! :) - Victor Khomenko 06:52:47 03/28/10 (3)
Projectors in general beautify less, I agree. They have less of those "brilliant colors" that the public buys.
- Maybe. :-) But virtually ALL TVs can be adjusted to be rid of the grossest... - jeffreybehr 14:19:54 03/28/10 (2)
  ...of excesses. My last TV was a 67"-diagonal Samsung single-DLP-type RPTV, and it had NONE of the excesses it now has living in my daughter's home. I guess they like those eyeball-burning images. :-)

    But don't worry, those bulbs have finite life time! :)
