How cool would it be if you could watch a movie in a cinema every day, that too without paying for a ticket? Doesn’t seem possible, right? What if we told you that you could actually do that by setting up your home entertainment system?
The basic essentials you require for a cinema-like experience include a high-definition TV (preferably a 4K TV), a home entertainment system, and a strong internet connection to stream movies. For a seamless streaming experience, we recommend checking out Xfinity internet packages to pair up with the entertainment system. I personally use Xfinity as well and my movie streaming experience is always flawless!
Besides the internet, there are other things included in a home entertainment system, and I have listed them all below:
Start Off with a Good TV or Screen
You obviously need something that you can watch your favorite movies and shows on, which could either be a TV or a screen with a projector.
If you are planning on getting a TV, you should probably go for a Smart TV which allows you to directly connect to the internet. Also make sure that the TV has a good resolution, something like 4K. On a smart TV, you can directly open streaming apps such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Max to stream movies and TV shows. This gadget basically makes things convenient for you!
On the other hand, if you want experience of a large screen in a dark room, getting a projector is generally better in this scenario. These gadgets can project larger images than a TV, giving you a cinematic vibe to match with.
Home Theater Seats and Sofas
This is something that also requires a lot of your attention. You need a place to sit and watch movies and shows, so you need to decide between getting a home theater sofa or home theater seats instead.
It all comes down to your preference. If you want to enjoy sports on the big screen with your friends, then it would make sense that you get a sofa. However, if you are into watching exhilarating movies and shows, you should get seats for the sense of individuality they offer.
Get a Proper Sound System
Your audio is just as important as your video and if you want an immersive audio experience, you should get a sublime audio system.
There are AV receivers that have the capability to upscale both your video and audio to give you the best video quality and immersive sound quality. For instance, if you want a 4K or an 8K resolution, you should get a receiver that is capable of upscaling your output to your desired resolution. The same goes for your audio as well: if you want a 3D sound system, you should have the components that can support it.
Time to put on your research cap and browse through the variety of sound systems to find the one that fit your needs the most.
Buy A Disc Player (If You’re into That)
Some people like keeping it old school and are into discs rather than streaming. We see you, and we respect you. However, if you are going to get Blu-Ray discs, you should have a compatible disc player.
We recommend a disc player that can support both Ultra HD and Blu-Ray discs. This gives you the best resolution and all your movies will be as crisp as possible!
Don’t Forget the Console
Considering how it is an entertainment system, who says that you can’t add a console to it? If you are an avid gamer, you should definitely add a console to your home entertainment system!
Plus, consoles such as the PlayStation 5 aren’t only used for gaming, you may also use streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime on them! The best part about keeping a console is that since you are investing so much in the visuals and the audio with an 8K TV and surround sound, you will have an amazing time playing your favorite games.
We recommend investing in a TV that supports gaming, so that you can run your games at 120Hz and in high-performance mode, enhancing your graphics!
So now you know about everything that you need to set up the home entertainment system of your dreams. You may now catch the next football game on the big screen with your friends!
