Projection As A Presentation Medium

[Maggot]

What is up with projection as a medium of displaying films? Every movie theater from every movie chain I have been to for 20+ years or more, I have come away with the conclusion that backlit technologies like tube TV, LED and Plasma are far better at producing inky black levels. It's one of the main reasons I just don't go to the movie theater anymore. The black levels are more toward grey and are not even close to being inky black. That tends to make every presentation I've been to in adult memory to lack punch/contrast. Every time I get out of a movie theater, for me it's always..."great movie, but poor presentation". I don't know if it's a limitation of the projected image, but I always tried to give theaters a chance and every time I walk out disappointed by the technical visual presentation side of the experience. It's like watching films with no life in them. Dull and drab has been my experience with projection.
