The Screen and Projector
Your premium viewing experience starts with the right screen and projector. We feel you can't go wrong with a Sony Cinema home theater projector. Pair your projector with an ambient light rejecting screen for the best image, visible even when you're not in complete darkness.
When it comes to screens, choose the size and placement that is most comfortable for you. Try outlining the screen size on your wall with tape before moving forward. We can always recommend specifications, but it ultimately comes down to your personal preference.
Surround Sound and Speakers
Many people will say that the screen and projector are the most crucial part of a home theater system, but we don't necessarily agree. Sound is also critical to enjoying a premium viewing experience. Going to a movie theater with grainy or muffled sound would be awful, so why deal with this at home?
For your surround sound, we recommend a McIntosh processor and amp paired with Sonus Faber speakers. Not only are these brands very stylish, but they also produce a fantastic sound that you're going to love.
Lighting
Did you know it's best not to watch movies in the dark? Instead, most movie buffs recommend that you watch with dimmed lighting so as not to strain your eyes. You can control lighting in your theater room by layering lights or using a home automation system with pre-programmed lighting scenes, such as “movie time.”
Consider motorized window treatments if you have windows in your movie theater space. These help to control the amount of light coming in, and you can integrate them into your home automation system.
Extras
We said we wouldn't tell you how to decorate, but a premium movie-watching experience should include some very comfortable seating. We also like star ceilings that serve as acoustic treatments and create a lovely aesthetic for your room.
Oh, and don't forget the popcorn and snacks!
