Glass plates it is, then. Good luck matching the resolution.
In all seriousness though I think your normal set up would be detectable even on normal 35mm film due to 1: insufficient resolution (even at 4k, probably even at 8k), and 2: insufficient dynamic range. There would probably also be some effects of spectral response mismatch - reds that are cut off by the film’s spectral response would be converted into film-visible reds by a display. Il
Detection of forgery may require use of a microscope and maybe some statistical techniques. Even if the pixels are smaller than film grains, pixels are on a regular grid and film grains are not.
Edit: trained eyeballing may also work fine if you are familiar with the look of that specific film.
