Introduction
What’s even better than relaxing with one of your favorite TV shows or a favorite movie to enjoy your free time? The answer is doing it big, comfortably and in style! There are many benefits to dedicating an entire room into the epitaph of relaxation and enjoyment – by creating your very own home theater systems. Entertain yourself, those closest to you or even your rivals – if it suits you – with a carefully thought out and executed space that embodies the heart and soul of entertainment.
Options
50” flat screen TVs are on sale almost constantly these days – it’s a perk you get from living in the modern era. There’s even bigger, for the right amount of cash exchanged – and there’s even more options available to meet or exceed your viewing needs, like 3d TVs, 4k quality or – what may be the most beautiful viewing experience you’ve ever had – 70”+ curved screens.
What’s even better than that is you can achieve a high definition screen of 100” or larger with a projector. Worry not about bulb life anymore – where in the 90s people had to replace the bulbs in their projector every few months, costing anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars – and enjoy again the perks of modern living with a LED projector, whose bulb is guaranteed by most manufacturers to last up to 13 years!
Another consideration is how exactly you bring your media to your screen of choosing – DVDs, blu-rays, even finding a VHS player for your years-old collection of hundreds of old tapes. What you may want to consider is a smart device of some sort, like a smart TV or an Android TV box or even a small, cheap laptop that you connect to your screen in order to stream whatever you want – whenever you want it – from the depths of the Internet. Different solutions like Kodi or Netflix can keep you entertained for literally weeks upon weeks with new and updated content for you to enjoy at your newly founded and ultimate leisure in your home theater!
On top of picture quality, the single most highly sought after piece of functionality in any home theater is the depth, range, and volume of a proper surround sound audio system. There are many options available – some are even wireless for an altogether beautiful arrangement around the room- and it’s important you consider and plan for the full use of the entire surround sound spectrum when you’re planning your home theater. For instance, there’s a choice between 5.1 surround or 7.1 surround – you should research of ask a techie to find out which you’d prefer! Also – beware opting for a bluetooth setup, as Bluetooth commonly has a three or four second delay on playing the audio that gets sent to it, which would wreak havoc on the goal of entertainment you’re looking to provide yourself, your friends and your family.
Consult your local tech shop for sorting out any questions you may have about what combination of what technology is right for you. You might even be better off with a home automation system. However – consult only your gut instincts when it comes to selecting the chairs, couches or whatever kind of relaxation tool you plan on sitting on, lying on or sprawling yourself in when you enjoy your new masterpiece of a home theater. Choose the best fit for yourself – and try many options before buying!
What’s more is that if you yourself or someone close to you is a computer or console gamer – they’re going to surely love every minute of gaming with a high definition ridiculously giant screen and the most high-quality surround sound they’ve experienced. Nothing quite puts an edge on competitive gaming like having the proper hardware – and a home theater system is the ultimate way to experience your all-time favorite games. It’s a proven fact (or, well, maybe it’s just a very popular opinion) that the larger the screen, the greater your competitive edge – ask any gamer, and they’ll have the same idea!
You might also consider how to protect your equipment. An LCD enclosure or monitor enclosure might save your thousands down the line.
Finally, if you or someone in your family is hearing impaired to the point where you require multiple visits to an audiologist or ear doctor, you will want to consider the numerous options available.
Although you’re dreaming right now of going out and spending thousands upon thousands of dollars, it’s worth noting that you can accomplish all of the dreams and aspirations you’re feeling right now with a $200 projector, a $200 stereo and a $200 computer. Every dreamer has a budget – pick yours!
Conclusion
When you’re looking for the finest way to relax on your own – or the most invigorating way to achieve a sense of relaxation for many friends, family and anyone else you can conceivably entertain – there’s not quite anything else that achieves the net result like your own home theater.
