I went to my local theater for Oppenheimer and was shocked by how bad the experience was. I hadn’t been there in 10 years with the only other theater experience being Dolby Cinema Laser a few times which is great. This dated local theater with Christie DLP projectors was shockingly bad compared to what I have become used too. The “blacks” were more of a bright whitish grey and the entire picture looked ridiculously washed out. The audio was subpar and bass almost non existent.

This is the same theater that looked great to me years ago. My budget 5.3.2 Atmos and S95B blow it away now.

Has anyone else been shocked by an unexpected bad experience due to being unknowingly spoiled by newer tech?
