Malaysia has installed 2 OLED screens in one of their cinema complexes. Is this the way for the future of cinema?
No problem-where ever you think it should be listed .@cinemiracle - Peter, may I change the thread title to something more indicative that this actually belongs in this sub forum and not the displays one?
"OLED screens start to appear in cineplexes, replacing projection".
"Can OLED screens replace projection in cineplexes"
Or something similar?

It all gets down to if the audience wants to see the particular movie. I doubt that more than a small percentage of techie buffs care what kind of display is used as long as they can get absorbed in the show.
I forbid anyone to watch a film with me at home, if they're still futzing around with any foods that are held in paper or plastic wrappers.Probably. Most people think going out to the movies is just television anyway. I mean, look at how a lot of them behave. They act like they are in their living room, so a giant OLED screen will just complete the transformation.
When I can buy a 120" MicroLED for my wall at a price that's manageable, I'm in.
I think we'll see the shoebox cineplexes adopt screens faster than the big formats, despite any burn in concerns.
Maybe NYC is different. But out in the burbs, screens are set back and up off the floor. Rampant rug-rats can’t just randomly run into screens. And I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anyone throw a cup of coke at a screen, in my own viewing experience.All it takes is a couple kids running around the auditorium unsupervised before the latest Disney movie and body slamming into it, or throwing a gallon of Coke on it, to break it. If they do that to a projection screen, it might tear and need to be replaced, but that's far cheaper than something like this.
I'm in for any technology that gets me to 120" at under, say, $4k. I'll keep my PJ in the meantime but i could definitely go bigger in my living room with ease.
