[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"][QUOTE="sts106mat"] probably still crap compared to avatar IMAX 3Dclyde46False, the 4K projector I saw blows any IMAX projector right off the water. the 2D image thanks to the resolution and dynamic ranges makes it look like its in 3D. Basically glasses-free 3D. What did you watch?
There are only 2 people in my country that have one of those projectors, and its been calibrated by Norway's finest calibrator.. it hits the 6500K D65 colour measurement standard on the dot by 0.1-0.4 or so AT ANY GIVEN TIME. the black painted room gives it an ANSI contrast which is perceived as virtually infinite. (Like an OLED display)
We watched the Art of Flight which is filmed by the 4KHD Red Epic camera, some other 4K native clips, the rest was blu-rays upscaled by Sony's external Lumegen video processor to look as close to 4K as possible, and it does a great job. We watched The Avengers, AVATAR, Tron Legacy, Teminator 4, The Dark Knight and probably something else I'm forgetting.
There are plenty more of these projectors in the U.S. but in order to see them here in Norway you have to visit one of the only two people in the country that have one!
The screen is a 129" and we sat 3 feet from the screen. even when we paused the image, got up and looked closely at the screen it was virtually impossible to see any compression artifacts or pixels.
Other than that, there is a Panasonic 152" 4KHD television, that I'd like to see in person some day. Unless you've been to a CES show/expo, those are the only two 4K products available to consumers I believe. 4K in the cinema is great, but the contrast on those projectors are horrible because of the high ANSI lumen requirement to fill up the large screens, so the blacks look very grayish, as well as 4096x2160 pixels on a 30+ feet wide display isn't the same as on a display that's "just" 10 feet wide :D
Powered by 4 ps3s? How do you even do that? :P

OT, I'm interested to see it.

That's pretty sweet. I'm coming from the broadcast side of things. For films, 4k is awesome but for TV, 4k is nothing but a headache.[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"][QUOTE="clyde46"] What did you watch? clyde46

Well living in Norway, I'm not going to expect 4K to come here until at least 2030.. haha.. NHK and BBC did broadcast parts of the Olympics in 8KHD I believe.. I wonder how that looked.. but there are only a few 8K displays in the world anyways.. JVC projector used in the KSS and Panasonic is launching a 145" 8KHD TV later this year price tag probably half a million USD :p So many channels are still in SD.. :( and I don't even think there are any 1080p channels yet.. The Japanese are always so far ahead though :( And if any of you SWers live nearby Conneticut.. I envy you.. First thing I'd do is call Jeremy Kipnis and ask for a demostration of his 264" Sony 4K / JVC 8K cinema and 100,000 hi-fi watt 12.12 channel Snell THX Reference surround :)

The current crop of large outdoor screens is pretty poor. They are really low resolution and are made from panels so if you lose a panel it's really obvious. The partnership between NHK and the BBC was done to allow the public is watch the action of live screens around the Olympic village. The only alternative for large screens is bringing a projector in. Having worked with both LED panels and projectors they are both a pain in the backside to work with. Projectors being the worst.
