One other point: Modern image displays produce 150 - 200 Ft. Lamberts of
brightness so you can use them in the noon day sun.
The average brightness of movie theater screens, whether the projector
lamphouse has a 10 KW carbon arc or a more modern Xenon Lamp, is still
only 10 to 15 Ft. Lamberts. Much dimmer than any consumer TV display.
The house lighting in theaters is controlled automatically so that 7 to
10 minutes before the first images appear on the screen, the lights have
been dimming slowly from full up to extremely dim, so that over this
time the human eyes can become accustomed to the dark and adjust to the
low light level coming from the screen.
A really bright iPhone in a dark theater can negate all this very quickly.
