I used to shoot Kodachrome back in the day. When I went for my RPS distinctions they projected them in a cinema to cinema screen size (35mm is a cinema format) using the top-end Leitz projector onto a top-end screen, and I can tell you that the experience for me was stunning. Until then I never realised how good 35mm could be. When I took some digital shots to another distinction day and they were projected, I was deeply disappointed with how flat and meh they looked. The evaluators told me that they recommend people to print digital stuff rather than project it. That was a few years ago. Nowadays with very large OLED monitors I think it's likely that the best results would be to show them on a good monitor; they're not yet cinema size, but I reckon in less than 10 years they will be.
