Aside from savings, having a theater system right in your home also means comfort. You do not have to deal with noisy moviegoers and you can relax when watching a movie with your family. So, how does one select the right theater system for their home? Below are some guides.
1.) Although size matters in most products, bigger television sets do not necessarily mean better. Consider first the space of your living room and find the TV screen that will be proper for its size. At least 32 inches of viewing size can serve as your starting point. Remember your room's measurement and ask TV dealers for advice on the ideal screen size.
2.) Determine the television form that you will need. If you have unlimited space, you can opt for a rear-projection TV, which is more affordable. But a flat television is of course more favorable for those who need to save on space.
3.) Decide on your preferred picture quality. An LCD TV shows higher resolution pictures compared to a plasma. However, the latter is less expensive so it is up to you to balance your requirements. There is also the more recent LED, which provides crispier images but it comes with a higher price tag too.
4.) A high definition media player is a must. We recommend that you choose an upconverting DVD player which do not rely on HD DVD or Blu-ray technologies to ensure that you will get optimum results even if your DVD is not original. But yes, original DVDs should be prioritized especially if you want to get the best resolution and quality.
5.) Be aware of the amount of power needed to properly install a theater system for your house. Let the technicians do their job but also check if they are doing it appropriately.
Lastly, do not forget to enjoy your very first home theater experience with a box of popcorn and your favorite beverage. Have fun!
