Adding a home theater has always been a popular home improvement project, but with COVID-19 shutting down movie theaters, a growing number of people started hosting movie nights on their own. Believe it or not, the home theater systems trend hasn’t stopped, even though many theaters are back open.
Keep reading if you’re thinking about installing a home theater. This post will give you a few ideas to ensure you provide the best possible movie experience.
Theater screen or large TV
The first thing you’ll need is either a big television or a projector and a movie screen. Both options have their own pros and cons. For example, a theater screen is typically bigger than a TV; however, today’s TVs have crystal-clear images that many projectors can’t replicate. Regardless of which one you choose, just make sure it’s big enough to enjoy all of your favorite movies.
Video source
A TV on its own doesn’t do much good without a video source. DVD or Blue-ray players were the go-to video sources for years, but with the popularity of Netflix, Hulu and other platforms, many of today’s homeowners are skipping the discs and streaming their movies online. If you’re going that route, it’s essential that you have a high-quality internet connection. Call JDS Systems to learn about switching to HughesNet satellite internet.
Sports package
Who says home theaters have to be for movies? Consider upgrading your TV package with all of the sports channels if you want to watch all of your teams. You’ll love being the go-to house for watching all of the big games. Talk to our team at JDS Systems about upgrading to a DirecTV sports package today.
High-quality sound system
You can’t discount the audio system when it comes to home theater systems. With high-quality speakers in all the right places, you can feel like you’re actually in the movie or at the game in real life. The trick is finding the best speakers and figuring out the optimal placement for them. Thankfully, we can help with that. We have years of experience setting up home theaters, so we’re able to handle that tough job with no problem.
Comfortable seating
You can’t enjoy a movie or game if you’re not completely comfortable. We’ve seen tons of home theater rooms with reclining movie theater-style chairs. While they’re not completely necessary, those neat chairs allow you to feel like you’re at the movie theater with the benefit of never leaving your house.
