Home Movie Theater: Screens
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
When it comes to deciding on a screen, the first thing to think about is the kind of screen you want or even may need. If the room where you are going to set up your home theater is a big one, then you will have to have a home theater projection screen or maybe you just want one anyway.
I, personally, like the idea of having a drop-down screen, but sometimes you have to have one even in a modestly-sized home movie theater. It would convert your living room into a home movie theater. Imagine: you recline in your chair; click the remote and a screen drops down; click another remote and the lights dim; click another one and the film commences!
If you prefer a television screen, then you might be considering buying a new one if you can afford it. They say that a 27 inch screen is big enough, but I do not agree. In my opinion, you really need 48-60 inches, but then I am a 50 something year old and my eyes are definitely not what they once were.
If you are buying a new TV for your home theater, I think you should aim high. HDTV is upon us and since February 2009 the USA is committed to High Definition. So, I would make sure that your new TV is capable of receiving it. Then I suggest that the new home theater screen be a flat one to reduce the annoying glare that could ruin the experience. (This could be another reason for opting for a projection screen).
Then you should make sure that your new TV has enough input and output sockets for the equipment you have in mind and you're ready. Therefore, to summarize, I would go for:
At least a 27 inch screen
A flat screen
HDTV compliant
Plenty of input and output plugs
Satellite compatibility
I would definitely get a receiver which is already satellite enabled, because it is the future or even the near future. If you get a satellite TV connection you will have access to HDTV downloads which you can watch on your new home movie theater set-up whenever you like.
