TV / Projector for Avatar 2

[Zupadupa]

Watching Avatar 2 in cinema was amazing, how likely is it that there will be affordable (less than 5 digits $) TVs or projectors in the near future that can play it as it was made to be?

 

Requirements:

 

4K

HDR

3D

High frame-rate (48fps)

 

From what I read some months ago, consumer projectors can not do all of the above, usually it will only display in 1080p for example.

 

No news on if 3D TVs will make a return?

Without the 3d it's super easy to get there.

 

With 3d https://www.beamerexpert.nl/epson-eh-tw9400.html this one exists.

Honestly there are already really good projectors that immerse you in the movie/TV show. After that the next best thing is making a dedicated theater room and getting better audio.

Its not being released in 48fps so you'll never be able to watch it as intended at home. Don't know why Cameron didn't use 60fps.

 

This was the only reason I saw it in theaters. The movie itself was pretty dumb.

While the Blu-Ray spec is technically capable of doing HFR, it's not actually used and would likely require firmware updates on your player to work, so that's likely a bust right there.

 

3D is also a dying breed. Most 3D TV's are so old they would lack other critical things like OLED quality or HDR capabilities. Maybe you can find a 3D Projector that does HDR? The one @jaslion linked covers the basics, but it uses Pixel Shift to display 4K, so it's not a a native 4K projector. That doesn't mean it'll look bad, but it won't look as good as it could.

I would guess that doing VFX at 48 FPS is already taxing enough, let alone 60. I was wondering why they didn't just do the entire movie in 48 FPS given how much of it already is. The frame rate switching detracted from it in my opinion and it didn't seem to serve a particular purpose, especially when it happened seconds apart within the same scene.

I doubt it personally. It's cool, but I get the feeling that even for theatres it's already borderline gimmicky. I like it when it is done well, but I know plenty of people don't care for it much.
