An expensive TV is a poor investment, and people spend FAR too much on them

Well, an article about the direct view LED cinema claims otherwise: “ Tatsächlich kriegst du Zuhause technisch gesehen das bessere Bild als im Kino.”

OMG, Duh......
125k$ to 750k$ and even higher $ projectors will obviously roast any consumer shit.

Pay attention, dude. The quote I was referring on my post is:

Sorry, but the 2 of the Christie setups I've seen just outdo everything else. Standing right in front of a 300 inch screen, their corner to corner optical focus alone, at every location on the screen where you can seed a clear square grid hatchet from the DLP surface, free of any chromatic divergence whatsoever roasts any consumer grade projector I have ever seen. No smear at all as if I were looking at a gigantic LCD TV, except each pixel has the RGB superimposed into a single square block. The true 4k 240Hz support 3 chip dlp also just operate on another level.

If you're comparing anything home-theatre wise to an LCD TV, you're going to be sadly disappointed.
For picture quality plasma, and now OLED, have always been the frontrunners. LCD was always compromised by slow refresh rates and poor contrast ratio. The technology has got better over time, but it will fundamentally never keep up with OLED, it's just not achievable.

Home cinema projectors suck. Gigantic LCDs can look really good. A huge part of the flaws come down to the sources used and the image processing done in the TVs.
Cinema projectors are great, but they can’t ever reach the black levels of a direct-view display.

The advantage projectors have is size, the picture can be really, really big, and very economical. The physical unit can be very small, for example mounted to the ceiling with a screen you lower while using. Below about 80" though LCD or OLED is going to look a lot better.
