Recreating that film studies nostalgia might be worth the loss in picture quality. I don't know if movies like The Rope will ever be re-mastered for HDR...

Not that far away from 100+ in tv at this point.Recreating that film studies nostalgia might be worth the loss in picture quality. I don't know if movies like The Rope will ever be re-mastered for HDR...
Well for very old movies, HDR doesn't really bring anything new. But the issue is coverage. You wouldn't spend $10,000 on a projection home theater to NOT be able to watch FUTURE MOVIES.
That wouldn't make sense.
And now that 85" is available, with even larger panels going into the future, projection will fall on yesteryear.
With the term "HDR", they have actually bundled together two improvements. Not just higher contrast, but also wider colour gamut.
HDR and UHD BluRays are encoded with Rec. 2020/Rec. 2100 colour spaces. These are wider apart than what any camera is capable of, just to be future-compatible.
BTW. Theatre projectors use DLP with a rotating colour filter or lamps or lasers in primary colours, not LCD with just a white bulb like in most home-projectors. These have a contrast ratio of at least 1500:1.
Yes but pricing is insane. I have an 82 inch tv right now and it's reasonable but above that in a high quality panel, you start hitting 5-6 figures for a tv.

I am holding out for light-modulated IPS panel. I believe this will probably be the end game TV for most people. It will have OLED like contrast ratio, along with Very good viewing angles.
Right now most of the big sets are VA-panel to produce HDR near the lvl of OLED.
However, with VA, the black lvl drift makes it a Single viewer machine, it's unsuitable even for 2 people sitting side by side, because of how sensitive it is to viewing angle approximately 10 degrees.
What are the advantages that IPS has over OLED other than the burn-in thing?
According to the specification, the displays have to be able to show content in 12-bit color-depth, a minimal active black level of 0.005 cd/m2 and a displayed luminance of 500 cd/mē
Just on the cinema side of things there's a new draft spec for displaying HDR content, which I saw an article (https://www.myce.com/news/hollywood-drafts-hdr-specification-for-cinemas-85533/) on recently.QuoteAccording to the specification, the displays have to be able to show content in 12-bit color-depth, a minimal active black level of 0.005 cd/m2 and a displayed luminance of 500 cd/mē
That's not ANSI-Contrast ratio. That's Full on vs Full off..
It's the same advertised number that projector companies use like 100,000:1 contrast ratio, or 1,000,000:1 ETC..
Real achievable contrast ratio on the very best equipment in theaters is ~500:1.. That's the top end.. And if the whole audience wore white shirts that day, you can expect 300-400.

Where are you sourcing these figures you're posting btw? As for example a Barco projector used by someone I spoke with last year who does professional event/portable cinema projection, has a spec contrast ratio of 2000:1 and that's a $30K projector. Are there examples of projector companies actually claiming 100,000:1 contrast?
I'm just curious about the tests that have been done with such projectors.
Nothing was better than going to my friends house, entering his garage and watching Friday on a bed sheet with the projector he stole from school.
Sometimes its about the journey and not just the end product tp.
Also that guy is in Jail now, not for stealing the projector though.
I can see the backyard BBQ movie thing becoming a thing of the past.
Invite the neighbors over and they deny the invite not only because of your projector quality but also because you're not using the latest video codec.

It's very possible people may stop going outside altogether..
