What blu ray discs, and today's home digital projectors have done, is to make the home cinema as good as, or perhaps even better than the professional cinema. That is something that has never before been possible, unless you have a 35mm set up in your house. When I was a youngster I dreamed of being able to project motion pictures in my house, and my first projector, the lowly Pathescope Ace, was literally a dream come true in Christmas 1954. Then I dreamed of sound movies, but sound projection was totally out of reach until 1975 when I purchased a Eumig S802. Another dream come true. For the next 20 years I enjoyed showing 20 minute digests and shorts, and then started buying a few of my very favourite feature films, some even in CinemaScope. I thought that was as good as it would get. Then in 2004 I borrowed an LCD digital projector and showed a DVD of Casablanca on a 6 ft screen and it blew me away. That experience has evolved into high definition Blu ray projection on a 10ft wide screen, and a picture and sound quality that I never could have imagined being possible for a home cinema. 4K projection is something I might look at in a couple of years when it has matured, but I very much doubt that it will offer a quantum leap in picture quality comparable to Blu Ray versus DVD.
