Resolutions higher than fullHD are useful not only for TV in front of your sofa. You need 8k (and even higher) to VR-helmets. Also there already are cinemas with giant displays instead of projectors. Don't be a retrograde.

Don’t be a retrograde.

I already know that launching stuff to the orbit this way is more expensive, but there are situations where a retrograde launch makes sense. Mainly of military nature.

I refuse to accept other meanings of the word.

Also there already are cinemas with giant displays instead of projectors.

Tool for the job. For me instinctively a projector and a screen seem to be a better solution than a humongous LCD display. But if that's cheaper (how in the world though), then let them do as they want.
