*** Notwithstanding that the color palette is equally, or more, the choice of the director (or the DP), making such judgements risky ***Actually, this makes it even more important to render colours accurately. I want to see white as white, not some yellowish-brownish shade. Unless of course that is what the director intended, in which case I don't want to see it as white :-)
But this is precisely what you can't guarantee at a typical cinema.
*** it actually happens that my engineering background is in optics so I'm a finicky customer. (Careful whom you try to put down.) ***
and somehow this makes your comments more valid? very amusing. i notice you don't know my background either, so you try to be careful.
*** Hooboy! Polls have been taken. Great. Um, doesn't that sort of thing rather contradict the sort of detailed concern you clearly have? ***
Note: "research" is not the same as "polls". and where is the contradiction?
*** Many houses here, as in Westwood (exhibition capital of the world) are equipped with HPS-4000. Lacking that, many have Kintek. How can you even *hope* to compete with those systems, at home? (Perhaps you haven't heard them?...) ***
Again, without knowing my background, this is a really funny comment. Hint: someone who gets invited to film premieres is not likely to be lacking in experience. As i've pointed out, it's a lot easier to achieve better results at home for many reasons.
*** DVDs never have droput? Ha! ***
Actually, no. they shouldn't. Unless you have a faulty player and equipment?
*** As for "Colour degradation", I tend to see films early in their runs, for all the obvious reasons. ***
So when you said you've "never" experienced colour degradation you are obviously speaking from a wealth of experience and your "engineering background in optics" :-)
