Just my own opinion but I think it would be just fine as a capture
format, even for digital theater. But when sitting less than 3 screen
heights away it may still be possible to see jaggies/pixels and thus
would have some advantage to upscaling that 1080p to maybe twice that at
display time. But that is just the general rule that it may be better
to have the display format with maybe twice the pixels of the
transmission format.
