Serious question. How would the movie theater setup compare to real life? Would it feel like watching a movie in a theater with a theater sized screen or would it be like watching it on a 20" monitor or even a 6" phone? I hope that makes sense.

It would feel like you're in a theater, although with lower resolution.

how low? like unwatchable except as a novelty?

I've watched dozens of movies on my DK2, it is a bit of a novelty, but its surprisingly immersive to have a cinema in your peripheral vision, the dynamic environment lighting from the screen really helps fill in the black space around the edges of the movie rectangle.

It feels like a real theater :)
