Annoying(lemmy.world)

I‘m in the same boat. I went to the cinema a few times in the last weeks and I actually prefer my home setup. Sound and image wise. Everything is perfectly tuned in and I can lay down on my comfy sofa and just enjoy.

Unless your TV is 40 feet, it isn’t beating the theater experience.

Once you’re at a correct distance for the screen, 65" or 40’ doesn’t matter, in a theater I’m just farther away and still end up losing some of the image and have to deal with the other watchers.

As I said, once you’ve got proper equipment at home you just don’t care for the theater experience. I’ll never say it’s the same thing, I still enjoy it much more.

Nope, completely different experience. Sitting a few feet from a 60" TV does not have the same sense of scale as a 40’ screen, unless you’re sitting at the very back of the theater. A 40’ screen feels huge.

I have a very nice home setup, but the theater is bigger and better.

See, better is totally subjective. To me it isn’t better, my setup, tuned how I like it, without other people around, without having to turn my head left and right to see the whole screen, without having to show up in advance to make sure I’m sitting in a spot that’s appropriate for the screen… That’s much better. To me.

I haven’t been to a theater in years and never plan to go back.

Clearly, cause now a days they have designated seating and actively displayed sales, so you can always sit exactly where you want, and go to show times with fewer people so you don’t have as many around. I’ve gotten the perfect seats in nearly empty theaters every time I’ve seen a movie for the last few years, and it’s always been an awesome experience.
