So the answer is no.
But then again, no digital video can compare to a true film experience.

HD, as shown in the theatres, is 1920 x 1080 x 24p at (guessing here) 4:4:4 log colour. Maybe 4:4:4 linear, since it's DLP, which I'm not sure can display log stuff. (We miss you, Laserman!). Consumer HD is either 1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720, but not 1280 x 1024.

I think it's a handy, Luddite-type myth that "no digital video can compare to a true film experience". It can, and it does. Especially when digital video is being used to create many film experiences. We're at the earliest stages of digital video, and it can already kick ass. It's only going to get better, and more flexible.

Still, I'm with you: consumer-grade HD ain't no 4k master.
