It is easy imagining yourself enjoying your favorite Netflix show or movie in the luxury of your very own home theater.
The crystal clear imagery from your television screen.
The crisp and awesome sonic quality of its sound system.
The comfort of watching on a soft recliner.
Yet, for most of us who could not attain one, it is the intimacy of viewing them at your simple laptop with plush pillows and comforters to boot that suffices. So what if we can convince you to take it up a notch and get the viewing experience you all deserve? In today’s blog episode, we will lay down the reasons you have to get yourself a personal theater and what key items you will need to make that a reality.
We are living in odd and uncertain times. As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on (as of this writing), not even the eased restrictions have calmed our nerves of catching the virus in an enclosed theater. Fortunately, with our current technology, the unmatched experience of a movie theater can be recreated with the amazing audio-visual tools of a home theater!
In addition, streaming platforms such as Netflix, HBO Max, and more are becoming an alternative and highly preferred source of entertainment. That’s twice the perks of endearing and homemade comfort!
Your upgraded level of entertainment doesn’t just stop there. Thanks to the likes of Steam and the shifting preference from cable to live streaming channels, you can now even enjoy playing your favorite online video games or watch that upcoming sports match from the other side of the world live! Watch your virtual world live as you battle against great foes with your console, or view your favorite teams fighting for the glory and championship as if you were a stadium spectator yourself!
One last, and definitely not the least, reason to add a mini-theater to your home is that it makes your residence more valuable and marketable to potential buyers, who may find a house with a room dedicated to entertainment and leisure much more appealing than others. Although there may be several factors that will determine the market price of your home (i.e. remodeling costs, current value of your home, etc.), research estimates that a home with a personal theater added increases the sales value of your house by as much as 65%!
Are you feeling enticed enough now to have your home theater? If so, let’s get started! By the time you are reading this article, there are two possible scenarios. Either you are just in the blueprinting stages of building your new abode, or you are searching for new ideas to remodel your room.
Whichever the case, it can be overwhelming to build one without knowledge of the basics of a home theater. Without further adieu, here are three key features you will need for that sweet home viewing experience.
Of course, the first and foremost item you will need for your at-home movie experience is a television that can project top-quality, high-definition images to viewers like you. But, these days, LED TVs can do more than just that. With streaming services and smartphone use on the rise, these TV sets can also play music on Spotify, play videos on YouTube, show Netflix features, and even mirror your Apple or Samsung phone screens all in one device!
A handful of TV brands have adapted to these new changes. Among those sets are Samsung’s UHD TVs, capable of rendering 4K quality resolution and producing Q-Symphony surround sound.
With that said, you can improve this latter aspect of the TV with the assistance of great sound systems. There are three types of surround sounds, 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1. Each depends on the number of speakers and their placements within the room.
For our purposes, this blog article will only discuss one.
The 5.1 is perhaps the most common, the least costly, and the most utilized in film theaters, with five speakers (the stereo, the rear, and subwoofer) located at the front, back, and center of the space, as illustrated below. Thanks to this type’s ubiquity, you can find some sound systems such as the LOGITECH Z607 5.1 Surroung Sound Speakers with Bluetooth to recreate that theater experience.
Now that you have prepared your audio-visual set-up, it’s time to find a comfortable place to sit. Whether you are viewing your movie or series by yourself or with companions, a good seat can influence how you enjoy your viewing.
Elevate that experience with this 2-seater leather recliner by URBAN RELUXUR, consisting of manual backrest and footrest, as well as two cup holders in between to satisfy your hunger and thirst!
And there you have it! With these three reasons and three items in mind, you are ready to elevate your audio-visual immersion to brand new heights! Still, there is still so much that you can add to your home theater. Building one is a personalized experience that is grounded on one question: how do you wanna see and hear it?
