Movie dialogue has gotten more difficult to understand

> On an unrelated note: I dont know why so many movies are shot in the dark. It might make sense when viewed in a theater, but when viewing at home, I can't see anything. The last few scenes of Edge of Tomorrow were impossible to understand because of this.

Actually after re-watching BladeRunner 2049 on my q95t I came to conclusion that I like watching dark scenes on my TV as much or even more then in cinema.

Me too.

I often watch movies on my OLED and think, "this is so dark it only just looks OK on this TV - it would definitely look like crap if we were at the cinema".

Honestly I'm surprised that there are so many dark scenes in movies for that reason alone.

Yeah, but my point was that q95 is not even an OLED screen. FALD=high together with filmmaker mode do the job just fine.

I wasn't specifically talking about OLED but the (lack of) quality of cinema projection, probably projection in general. I bet the q95 is very good as well.

Last time I went to the cinema (a long time ago now), it was terrible how little contrast it had. Half the time I was thinking how crap it looked and I'd rather just watch it at home.
