How big can you print a M10 image

I saw well-made prints from a Leica M (Typ 240) at a size of 1 × 1.5 m = 40 × 60 inches, and you could inspect them from as close as your eyes would focus (with reading glasses, if required). No grain, no noise, no pixelation. I'd say this print size is still far from the maximum.

Easily up to A1 size, even with minor amount of cropping. No need to resize the file, I print directly from Lightroom with excellent results. Up close inspection, pointless anyway for a large print, shows no pixelation or artefacts whatsoever. Grain is very film like, I won't have any problem in printing A1 size with files up to 3200 / 6400 ISO.

As a recent convert to Leica M10 from Fuji X, I am happy to discover that the Leica DNG files need very little adjustment other than cropping and clarity or contrast. The colors and sharpness are great using Capture One Pro's default settings. 

Fuji X raw files look great in Capture One Pro, but Leica has them beat with less work, IMHO.

And of course, if your picture is any good at all, the resolution doesn't matter.

I watched some old movie via streaming service. It was a Japanese film from the 90s, shot on Kodak film (yes, I usually watch all the end credits). I was impressed by the camera work and lenses. Nothing out of ordinary, just plain regular impressed how wonderful it can look.

Of course the stream was digitized to a resolution. I think it was 720p. So that means something around 1280x720 pixels. Those miniscule 0.92 megapixels seen from a 42" telly (~36" by 20") are more than plenty to convey all the necessary detail, emotion and atmosphere. So just think how much extra details every megapixel your camera provides more than that.
