Of course, the resolution will not be the only thing that will highlight theater screen. According to the brand, it includes an integrated Amazon Fire TV system that will allow you to access platforms like Netflix to watch movies and series. This will be possible thanks to 5G connection that the BMW 7 Series itself has.
All this is aimed at making travel as comfortable as possible for passengers, although the experience is not like the one we can get in our living room at home. However, to get as close to that feeling as possible, the Munich-based brand caused the activation of a special mode in the car as soon as this screen lights up.
What does this option do close the roof and window shades to reduce light. The ambient lighting will also be dim and the sound will change patterns for a more immersive experience. What’s more, there’s even a system that links seat vibration to sound to create a 4D cinema-like experience.

For example, aspect ratio 32:9given the dimensions of the interior, so a small amount of content will be able to take up the entire screen, and we will almost always see black bars on the sides.
Added to this is another problem for the driver, since theater screen Completely blocks rear view when deployed. It could be equipped with some kind of rear camera that reproduces the image on the dashboard screens, but there is no doubt that the sensations would still not be the same.
However, there is no doubt that this big screen bmw 7 series This will be one of his stellar elements. An interesting touch, which will obviously be associated with a clear increase in the base price of this model.
