I had an opportunity to stop at Northern Audio (on Babcock, near the old shop) and see their store remodel. In the theater room was a new system, with the Dolby Atmos multi channel audio set up. While the sound was very good, I was most impressed by the video display. There is an edgelit 161" (that's almost 13 1/2 feet) screen displaying an image from a Sony 4k capable projector. Considering I was sitting only about 8 feet from the screen surface, I expected a somewhat grainy or pixelized image. Not a all the case; even the upconverted DVD images were impressive. The experience very much reminded me of sitting close to the screen in a movie theater. I had to turn my head occasionally to follow the action. All in all, most impressive.
It's worth the visit to see what I believe has to be the state of the art in video displays.
