Home theaters can be as simple as some AV equipment in the living room or as complex as a fully renovated basement, designed to look like Hollywood's El Capitan theater. At the heart of a home theater system should be a high-quality video experience and an immersive audio experience. When building your own home theater, one important thing is to choose the right monitor.
When you think of a theater-like video experience for home theater, you probably think first of projection systems and very large screens. This is undoubtedly the first choice for a typical home theater. Projectors and screen combination is usually best used in a dedicated cinema room with fully controlled lighting. Projectors are not limited to the rich. This type of display device can actually provide the best screen size and cost ratio.
Companies such as JVC, SONY, optocom, and epson offer high quality intermediate and entry-level projectors. For the projection screen, you can choose a fixed frame, a pull-up/pull-down or an electric screen. Most screen manufacturers provide a variety of screen materials to accommodate different projectors and environments.
You also need to consider the screen shape you want: a standard 16:9 screen or a 2.35.1 screen. Another option is to add a screening system that uses curtains or panels to customize screen shapes.
Some of the top names for home theater screens are Stewart Filmscreen, Screen Innovations, DNP, da-lite, Vutec and Elite Screens
Projection system is not the only choice in the field of display. Flat-screen TVs are almost the driver of the home theater and entertainment market; And, thanks to falling prices, you can now get bigger screens. Whether you're paying a premium price for a 75-inch panel or using a more modest 50-inch screen, flat-screen HDTVS can still provide a good foundation for home theater systems, and you can watch them for the benefit of a variety of lighting conditions.
Today's most popular flat-panel technology, liquid crystal displays (LCDS), was once considered a technology for indoor use only, but has come a long way in performance. Full-array local dimming techniques using leds instead of CFL and 120Hz / 240Hz refresh rates help overcome the limitations of black level and motion blur, respectively.
All the major LCD brands - including Samsung, SONY, Vizio and LG - have adopted these performance improvements.
OLED, another flat-panel TV technology, recently replaced plasma TVS as the video aficionados' choice. OLED has so far proved difficult to produce reliably on a large scale, so companies like Samsung have pulled out, at least in the short term. LG is currently the only company to make OLED panels for televisions in the U.S. In fact, they make the panels in SONY's OLED display.
