Most home 'HD' is 1920x1080i, but most HDTVs only resolve about 50-60% of that.

Theater DLP is 1920x1080p, and the bitrate is WAY higher.

A very expensive home setup that does 3:2 pulldown on 1080i sources and resolves the full 1920x1080 resolution may approach the theater DLP picture, but it will never match it.

And properly projected film does have more detail than the (current) theatrical DLP.
