Admit it, sometimes when you are watching in a movie house, there would be a time that you would be thinking “How great if I can just experience this at home.” Yes, having your own home theater is nice thing to have in life but it could it just so simple to setup this?
The first thing you’ll want to consider: What’s in your bag? What is the main thing you plan to use your new home theater for?
So, below, we’ll list everything you need to take into consideration before you go shopping or even start setting your budget. This should help you to determine exactly what you’re going to need to create a home theater you can be happy with…
WHO IS THE HOME THEATER FOR?
By this we mean… how would you describe your audience? Simply put, how many people do you think will be sitting in your living room with you while you’re enjoying your new setup? For a large family or for the sports fan who hosts the annual Superbowl party, screen size becomes more of a priority than it might be for the cinephile bachelor who just likes watching his favorite movies with a couple of friends now and then.
WHAT IS YOUR TOP PRIORITY?
You can go ahead and admit that you spend a lot of time daydreaming about your perfect home theater set up. Now the question is, when you sit down and daydream about it, what’s the first thing that pops into mind? If it’s a gorgeous 1080p HDTV, then make your new TV top priority , if you see yourself watching movies with a rear projection TV in a room decked out with classic movie posters, then focus on the rear projection TV and what you can do to complete the experience. The bottom line is that there’s really no One True Way to set up your home theater. It’s all about creating an entertainment experience that you can be happy with, and nobody knows what makes you happy better than you do.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MODERN ENTERTAINMENT TECH?
If you’re clueless about LCDs, Plasma screens and Dolby Digital, then for now just worry about the general idea of your home theater, and worry about the specifics once you’ve read up on them a bit.
In other words, you wouldn’t write a grocery list around a meal you don’t know the recipe for, so don’t worry about a shopping list for your home theater until you know exactly what you need.
SO WHAT DO YOU NEED?
You could say that there’s an art to setting up a home theater. There should be a general feeling you want to enjoy when you’re sitting in front of your new TV. Maybe you want to feel relaxed while watching a favorite movie, maybe you want to get pumped up for pay per view boxing events, or maybe you just want a comfortable spot to flop down in at the end of the workday.
Owning a home theater (Pioneer, Samsung) could be a bit expensive dream that you may have but it’s not impossible to have. As long as you know what you want, how to prioritize and how you envision yourself sitting in that theater-like home entertainment setup, then this dream could be attained.
