Screen

There are a lot of things to consider when picking a display for your home theater or media room. The most common question that we get is whether to go with a television or a projector. If you are interested in a larger display, a projector is more affordable at bigger sizes. If brightness and contrast are essential to you, a television is a better option. It ultimately depends on the specifics of your project.

The size and brightness of the screen are also important factors. The size of the screen depends on the size of the room that you are using. A bigger screen is not always better for a smaller room. Your size also depends on the viewing distance, as big screens become pixelated when you sit too close. Brighter displays or projectors are needed in any room that will have a lot of ambient lighting, like a multi-purpose media room.

Sound

Sound is also an important consideration when planning your home theater or media room. A full audio system is what we recommend for a home theater, but for a media room, a high-quality soundbar might be a better fit. The location of the room also matters. If it is near a busy road, you might want to invest in more speakers or some with greater power. Finally, consider whether you would like to add acoustic paneling to your walls. Any rooms with a lot of windows or glass displays may cause noise to bounce around. Acoustic paneling prevents the sound from  becoming muddled as it moves around the room..

Seating

Finally, seating is an important consideration when planning a home theater or media room. After all, who wants to sit on an uncomfortable chair for several hours? Luckily there are several options for you to choose from. For those that are looking for a dedicated home theater, the typical recommendation is to buy recliners. There are a variety of different customization options, such as cupholders, charging ports, and under the seat lighting. For those that are looking at a more multipurpose space, comfortable couches and armchairs are an option. The vital thing to consider is whether everyone has a clear view of the screen and whether there is enough distance between the viewer and the screen for them to fully enjoy the picture.
