Hi Lampshade,
Yes, I know what you mean re black and white. I used to have a darkroom and enlarger and worked entirely in black and white and I loved the grain when I did enlargements from 35mm.
Some older movies shot in black and white can really look stunning viewed on an HD screen that's set up to show off the gray scale. I guess what I mean by seeing too much film grain is when I notice too many artifacts and they become distracting. Oddly, it bothers me more in color than in black and white.
Earlier LCD front projectors that had noticeable pixelation also bothered me, but in recent years the better models are really excellent.
Cheers,
Alan
