In Reply to: immersion in a movie- does this happen with DVD? posted by tunenut on March 21, 2005 at 17:25:14:
My wife can get fully absorbed into Beethoven music played on a small portable radio - she gets to the soul of it (and vice versa), and the sound quality doesn't stand in the way.Ditto for being absorbed in the film. It has nothing to do with image quality, or screen size, but everything with the film's impact.
I had watched the Bicycle Thief on a 6" B&W screen and gotten goose bumps, and I had seen plenty of dreck in its full glory on 100" HDTV projector that made me want to go out and rake some leaves.
Like in audio, equipment lovers want good quality of reproduction, but who care about the quality of the work care little.
Ask not the screen size... ask what you are watching.
