Wall-size TVs from Sony and Samsung could make projectors obsolete
Samsung recently announced the Cinema Screen, quite simply an array of millions of individual LEDs spread across something the size of a movie theater screen. Individual modules allow for different screen sizes. It's an interesting idea. Samsung claims potential peak brightness of 147 footlamberts (approx 503 nits).
Because it can turn each LED off individually, a Cinema Screen can produce absolute black and an infinite contrast ratio (just like OLED). Film can't even really do that, and digital projectors definitely can't. Not within a single scene, anyway.
