Digital projection will keep me at home. It looks godawful and almost makes me sick, even just to think about it. (Granted I haven't checked it out for a year.)Digital sound is no great shakes either; always I look for the Sony SDDS exhibitor, far and away the best of the lot.
"The quality at your local cinema suffers from a less than optimal print with colour degradation etc." You talkin' to me?! Then think again. I attend widely here in Boston and around South Florida and South California and *never* have witnessed optical degradation. Oh, the occasional dim bulb -- but I always complain and get a coupla free passes for later.
I'm glad to hear you attend to the gamma, color temp etc. -- most don't, and I'm sure you have mounted a good presentation.
