The big difference maker imo in movie theater experience is size and sound. You still need to drop about the same few thousand dollars you had to drop in 2002 to buy a proper projector and sound system today. 85 inch low pixel density screen and a sound bar ain't it, but if it is it for you, you are probably no discerning audiophile who would have probably have been fine with whatever was sold in a comparable market segment in 2002 (refrigerator width crt displays were in fact all the rage and very desirable at one point).
- crazygringo 1y agoYou can drop about $800 on a great 1080p projector, screen, and a pair of AirPods that will give you better surround sound than most speaker systems will give you. My projector screen takes up more of my vision than any movie theater screen I've ever seen except IMAX.
- jjcob 1y agoPeople don't just go to the cinema for the image/audio quality. Most people go to meet friends.
- crazygringo 1y agoThat's kind of my point. You don't need to go for image/audio quality at all now. It's purely social, or to see something sooner. Whereas it used to be very much about image and audio quality.
- asdff 1y agoI'm sorry but airpods and a 1080p screen from your couch are on a different planet compared to theater sound and even liemax or smaller formats. You can't feel sound from an airpod in your chest.
