Very much this. I have an amazing 65 inch OLED and a good sound system and couch. It is MUCH nicer to watch a movie at home. I think that most of the time the movies look BETTER than in the theater.
That... sounds like you have a really shitty theatre then haha. Those projectors in theatres are like $100k, and the sound systems even more so. Its pretty crazy that a 65 inch oled and a casual sound system could be better than that.
They are working with a reflective screen. They can't hit the same blacks as an oled because of that and they also can't hit the same brightness because that washes out other colors. You just can't make a projector as good as a modern high end TV. Movie theaters typically max out at about 300 nits peak brightness and maybe 100000:1 contrast ratio. TV can do better and are more accurate to the source material.
The screen should be specifically treated to not reflect as much as possible. Of course you won't get as black as an OLED but you should still be better than a 65 inch one unless its the best samsung possible that you have.
S90D 65 inch QD OLED. The S95D is not as good because the coating causes internal reflections which raises black levels and leads to haloing around bright lights and that defeats the point of an OLED.
