Do you prefer your TV over a cinema screen?

Same. If I had the money. A 98" would do just fine for granduer in my perfect imagined theater room and perhaps I'd even go 8k if it doesn't have some soap opera like effect with that much detail and the upscaling doesn't have some disastrous effect on quality. Hell, if you're rich enough you could get a costume screen installed I'm sure that'd beat any TV on the market or one of those concept slTVs from trade shows that are like 8 foot. I'd love to see if these high end projectors actually produce colour and black levels even close to OLED, I have to doubt it but I'm not financially blessed so I may never know. 

You're not going to get equal blacks, but the black levels on a modern laser home projector are very good and 98 inches is a tiny ass screen size for a projector. Once you turn the lights down, you really don't sit there going "oh but the black level is XYZ", you can also go with a gray screen/ALR screen for greater black level. 

I have a setup similar to this with a floor rising screen (Vividstorm mine was a larger one):

You can go 150-300 inches even on consumer grade projectors (obviously prosumer is going to be even bigger than that) which is way bigger than a 98 inch TV, like it's a magnitude of a different kind of experience altogether. 

150 inch OLED I don't think even exists and if it did it would cost like $80,000. 

You notice way more detail on a much larger screen, I have a large screen OLED and I have a roughly $3000 laser projector in my theater room, I prefer watching movies on the projector, have pretty much left OLED only for TV + sports viewing and some gaming but even gaming I don't game on my main TV anymore (sorry PS5). I'll be watching the new Beetlejuice 2 movie on my projector tonight that I ordered on VOD not on the OLED. 

Movies just have more impact on a larger screen and you appreciate more all the details the filmmakers put into a movie when watching it on the larger screen format as they intended. The other cool thing about a projector is it makes watching older films that you've seen before much more fun, they just feel like movies that just came out yesterday and you get the feeling of watching them as if they were new and notice more of the detail in them I find. 

Obviously most people aren't going to be able to have this kind of a setup, I get that, most people don't have the space or the money to spend and if you have a projector you kinda feel obligated to drop some serious coin on proper speakers too. But having both in the home, for movies, not just myself but other members of my family prefer the projector room. It's not really even much of a debate. I have a wall mounted 65 inch screen directly behind my 150 inch floor rising screen, 150 inch is just ridiculously larger. 

I suppose I'll never know cause I'm not going to have enough money for that. You beat the original topic though, you brought the cinema home and replaced your TV with it.
