And given how so many people are wowed by the 2K digital presentation at the BFI it's a method that's not entirely without merit. I've seen several 2K movies there and not once did I see any visible pixels or other such digital greeblies.

In bright 2D scenes (white), heck, even the DLP logo in the beginning, I can see the SDE of IMAX 2K anywhere in the front 2/3 of the room.
3D though, I sit SUPER close, 2 rows behind the split. Love it.
