It depends. When I'm watching it by myself I prefer home almost always but when it's with my bf it's a mixture and for certain films not seeing them at a cinema is doing yourself a disservice unless you have a truly amazing setup. Top Gun: Maverick is the biggest example for me since that for sure would not been as enjoyable back home with a smaller screen and lower audio. It is very true that home setups keep closing the gap and I actually find my audio setup more pleasing than a lot of film screenings I've gone to despite it not been anything special but 4DX is something you won't be able to get at home unless you're quite rich so cinemas will keep having stuff like that at least.

My next TV will likely be a 8K tv.

Wont be like for another 5 years so very likely it will be that. I can see myself getting a 8K TV in 2028 or 2029 and then sometime in the 2030s , a 98'' 8K TV.

My first 4K TV was my 75'' back in 2018 and my 85'' is my 2nd 4K tv which I got back in 2023.

I'm not in a rush to get another TV anytime soon so I could wait more than 5 years too until the TV I want becomes available. By that time I'm thinking about getting a 9.1 surround sound system as well but like I said it'll likely be closer to 2030.

What I have right now (85'' 4K with a 7.1 surround sound) was something I had planned since 2015. I always plan for stuff about a decade in advance. Same with my house, been wanting to live in this new developed area since they started development back in 2012. They are still developing buildings and more houses lol - but got lucky when I moved in 2018, now the prices of the houses here are doubled.

I watched Gaurdians of the Galaxy 3 again, streamed in 4k HDR.  Yeah, my TV has beaten cinema screens for me, I don't have the best sound but Dolby atmosphere provided ai sit in the correct spot directly infront is good enough, it's pretty cool tech but it's the HDR and the smoothness of the frame rate without the sitcom effect that really just beats it out right, the deep blacks and explosion of colour is nothing the cinema can come close to. I see now why cinemas are dying. Even through streaming, I find it exceptional...well on Netflix and Disney plus only. Amazon and Now TV have a lot to improve on.

I've had my new TV for about a month now, and I'm absolutely blown away by how gorgeous and immersive the home experience has become. Its HDR-capabilities are world-class, and the brightness makes Atmos titles shine (pun intended) like nothing else I've seen on streaming services. I'll be buying a dedicated 4K blu-ray player after new year's, to really make the most out of the TV, but it's already damn impressive. I've used an Xbox One S as a 4K player until now, but it lacks proper HDR and audio capability. A dedicated player will really make the most out the whole set.

I managed to snag a Harman Kardon Kardon Multibeam Citation 1100 this January, for about half price, along with the subwoofer (also 50% off); the combination is incredible. I have yet to watch anything above 25% of max volume, for fear of ruining my neighbor's day. Amazing experience! 

I also in the prefer my Home TV for viewing experience. I also prefer sound in my home setup.

My TV is a LG G1 77 inch which I love. For sound I got a 5.4.2 setup. My receiver could process 7.4.2 but I would have to add an dedicated amp and been happy with 5.4.2 that not felt the need to spend the money to move to 7.4.2 (My receiver have 11 channel of processing and 9 channel of amplification).

And you also Don't have to pay through the nose anymore, I bought in midrange and was gobsmacked to see it holds up to TV's that are two thousand or more and I see the tech filtering down to budget TV's too so more people are going to experience great HDR. It really is the HDR that makes the difference, I'd rather go 1080p HDR than 4k HDR but having 4k HDR is just fantastic. I don't see the need to have a sound bar or sound system, Dolby atmos dual speakers is properly fine by me, even on my phone I'm blown away by how good at mimicking surround sound it is. 

I have something called Nano cell tech from LG which is like Quantum dot from samsung as a cheaper alternative to OLED and it exceeded my expectations my a country mile even when the room is bright. 

This is true, mid-range TVs are now immensely good, picture-wise. Even budget models are becoming worthwhile, especially if one only uses streaming services, doubly so if one doesn't stream 4K. What they often lack is support of certain formats (HDR formats and types, for instance), some anti-glare coatings, and possibly things like peak brightness and up-scaling tech. They're mostly terrific in color, contrast, and even blooming. Some budget models from TCL have blown me away with their audio quality as well, performing as TVs more than twice the price.

I actually did pay through the nose this time, opting for the Bravia 9 85" variant. I also considered the Bravia 8, which is an OLED screen, and even the A80L (also OLED). However, size options were limited (I felt that the upgrade size-wise from 65" to 75" or 77" was too small for what it was), and there are still certain burn-in issues with OLED, especially with static elements like video-game UIs. Additionally, I've never had a place where I can fully control ambient lighting (not even close), meaning that many OLEDs can get overpowered during daytime. My biggest caveat with Mini-LED/LED was blooming/light-bleed, but I can report that I've only ever seen this once on the Bravia 9, and it was an ancient, terribly compressed movie on Amazon Prime (I can't remember which one though). The 85" model is actually even better than the smaller sizes, since it has lots more local dimming zones, meaning better contrast and higher accuracy, as well as higher peak brightness.

The only things I splurge on are gaming, TV, movies, and audio gadgets; what I spend on that over a 5-year period is easily less than what most people spend on partying, expensive holidays, phones, brand clothing etc. It's all about priorities. I have zero regrets. I'll be set for at least 6-7 years with this big boi, and by the time I'm in the market for a new one, I believe Micro-LED will be affordable and spectacular, with (mostly) the best of both worlds (LED and OLED)!

I bought a TCL before my current TV, lasted me a year before black screening, hence why I upgraded to midrange proper brand name. It was really entry level but the features it had were immense. Dolby atmos, 600-700 nits HDR10, 120fps, VRR and some really cool AI post processing that made games ultra smooth. I have that now but I'm missing VRR and back down to 60hz and the smoothing tech isn't quite as mindblowing. But for entry level it was unbelievable value for money. I got some downgrades with my current TV but a lot of upgrades too like much better tone mapping, black levels, peak brightness and I feeling of security with the brand name. 

You're TV sounds amazing. You really can't beat OLED right now, it doesn't get much better than that and no cinema screen will ever be that good. I mean, micro LED and all but can it really get noticeably better than OLED...  I doubt it. 

People underestimate how much of a difference a 100 foot screen makes because they don't have a direct compartive when they sit down at the theater, as in if you put the best OLED display next to a good projector side by side, sure the OLED will have nicer picture quality, but I'd bet most people would prefer to watch the (way) larger image. It's far more cinematic.

I have a pretty high end projector in my home and it's set to 150 inches, but I'd much rather watch movies on that than my 65 inch OLED, the screen size difference is just massive even at 150 inches, you're not going to get a television that size for a reasonable price anytime probably even in a decade. And it makes the movie watching experience feel much more like what I assume the director intended. Movies are created for the big screen. 

Modern projectors are pretty great too, the image quality is very nice. 

Yes, those are the prettiest and bestest films
