Could LG LED Cinema Display Technology Replace Projectors?

The world’s first movie theatre powered by LG LED Cinema Display technology, rather than a projector, has opened its doors in Taiwan, at the country’s leading cinema chain Showtime Cinemas.

The LG screens at Showtime Cinemas are 14 metres wide and 7 metres high, displaying 4K images in bright, stunning detail.
