Recline those seats, grab some popcorn, and throw on your favorite film – it’s summer movie season!
The best part is you don’t have to leave your house for amazing picture and sound. With your home theater at the ready, you and your family can make your own movie night – all from the comfort of your couch or other home theater seating.
That’s not to say that there aren’t some upgrades your home theater needs before it’s fully ready for movies this summer. Let’s take a look at just where you should focus your time to get the most movie magic possible.
Upgrade your TV
How big is your TV? And what resolution is it? If the answer to the first question isn’t “as big as my house can hold” and the second isn’t at least “4K,” then we just might have to send the electronics police your way.
To get the most out of your high-resolution content, you need a big screen. There are absolutely mammoth sets available for consumer use now, so you have no excuse there not to bring the newest and biggest one on the block home. And there’s no excuse not to have a 4K screen in the year 2019, so get on that as well before you fall even further behind the upcoming 8K-ball.
Upgrade Your Sound System
While picture perfectionists may argue the point, image quality really is only half of the cinema experience. The other half is audio: The score, the sound effects, and the other notes and nods to reality that you hear while your eyes follow the action on screen. And if you aren’t sitting pretty with some Atmos speakers, then you, my friend, are falling behind.
There are also other areas of growth in the speaker category as well – in-wall and in-celling speakers are being made by more and more companies, giving you powerful, yet discreet, options to really make an audio impact.
Upgrade Your Control System
Long gone are the days when your home was split up into a bunch of different tech systems that can’t communicate or work with one another. Long, long gone. Thankfully.
By bringing your home theater under your existing smart home controller or system, you can get features like IP video, video tiling, IP video input, and more. With easy control and options to see your content no matter where you are in your home, it doesn’t take long to see why families are embracing the quality-of-life features such a change can give them.
Upgrading any part of your home can be a challenge, and we aren’t just throwing these awesome ideas at you and then running away. Of course not!
