Why the Realist of course. But we are not comparing different formats.

Yes it will, but that holds true for the hand viewer as well. Remember 
we are comparing what the same format image looks like in a hand viewer 
as compared to being projected. If you start out with an image that is 
ten times better in a hand viewer it should stand to reason that it 
would be ten times better in projection. However the percentage of 
degradation should be the same (10% of 100 is far less than 10% of 
1000).

That's all for now,
