All a projector is, is a means to display what was captured from the camera to a large audience. We’re finally in a world where our displays achieve better than cinema picture and people still complain. People aren’t forced to adopt the format, don’t like HDR then stick with sdr. I find it amusing that many of the naysayers of the format choose to ignore the audio side of the format. If the theatrical exhibition is the only way to measure what should be seen or heard then I assume those have chosen subwoofers that can’t dig lower than 25-30hz since commercial theatres can’t even though a movie soundtrack contains bass lower than what theatres can produce.

Did Ted Turner, himself, write this eloquent defense of colorization? Seriously, it’s the same argument. If you can understand the “why wouldn’t you” of colorization, you can apply the very same logic here.
