HDTV is a great compromise for home use, but nothing compares to the quality of a properly timed signature print (I don't think these even exist anymore) projected properly on a clean screen by a projectionist. The problem is that this is nearly impossible to have these days.

It's just a little sad to me to hear people say that a 42" HDTV is superior to the theatrical experience. I love the quality and privacy of my HT too, but I would never speak ill of 35mm.

I came across this old thread and I wanted to bump it because I haven't seen any CAP code in a long time. Did the studios come to their senses and stop using it?

Flawless print? You call watching a movie in a movie theatre flawless? Ya that constant grainyness is flawless. The only "flawless" print you see is watching the DVD on your 42 inch HDTV.
