A couple of years ago we went to a movie @ the local Rave theater. They used DLP projectors. The display was so jerky that it gave the wife a headache and I found it downright unappealing. But 2 weeks ago we went there to see "The Adjustment Bureau" and their new digital projectors are not so objectionable. Smooth frame transitions and thus no headaches or other ill effects. Pleasant. The new gen of projectors is quite nice and that leave film only for shooting & editing, after which all else is digital. I expect that within 5 years all theaters will have some new digital projector.
