An LED screen almost never goes to 150”. But a projector can. Plus projectors are way more immersive than LEDs, especially in a dark room.
And you are right that Blu-Rays have better sound than Netflix. And I prefer them over streaming services. But a 4K UHD Blu-Ray costs $40 for a new release—and the sound still doesn’t compare to a legit theatre.
Theatre tickets costs $18 here. Not bad for something with better picture and sound.
Projectors are nice for extra large... I've never observed a good quality one irl outside of the theatre.
State side UHDs are often much less... Especially on sale. I've never spent $40 and have about 100 movies so far. New, old, criterion... Most I've spent was 25-30 on No Country day 1. Usually spend 10-15/disc.
