⚠ This venue has closed (2017). The IMAX Dome theatre closed in 2017 and the space reopened as the Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium, a non-IMAX 8K fulldome. We have not re-confirmed this since it was recorded.

This is a dome. The area above is the projected surface, worked out from the diameter by convention rather than measured — and it wraps above and behind you, so it isn't the same thing as the frontal area of a flat screen. Treat the score as a rough peer of the flat screens around it, not a like-for-like comparison.

Nobody we can cite states what projects the picture in this room, so the projector scores at the floor — neither credited with laser nor assumed to be xenon. Treat the score as indicative.
