And then there are the old farts that still play movies from Blu-ray disks. The picture quality is better and you have more control over the experience. And I'd argue that the picture on my OLED screen is better than what I've seen in most cinemas. And you don't have any rude idiots to contend with and the disk costs less than two cinema tickets and a bowl of popcorn.

Absolutely!

I love my OLED as well and before that my home Plasma TV was better than theaters.

As far as viewing experiences nothing beat my home set up.

Honest question not intended to be antagonistic in any way. Have you not had an enjoyable communal experience watching a movie?

I took my kids to watch K-pop Demon Hunters at a theater. They already had that movie on loop for 2 months in my house. But hearing a hundred kids sing along was one of the coolest movie experiences ever. Hearing 100 people gasp or jump or laugh or cheer and being part of it just isnt an experience that can be recreated by an OLED.

I have had such experiences. But as a grumpy old fart without children, these are harder to come by. If there was any chance of that, I'd gladly go to the cinema.
