Being able to enjoy films just like we do in the cinema but in the comfortable (and much cheaper) environment of our own homes has long been an aim for many people in the UK, enjoying the action, sights and sounds of the latest movies or even sporting events has always been a big focus for those looking to buy a new TV or surround system.
Being able to build something that rivals the local multiplex though is going to need some serious money and time to make sure you buy the right kit for your home. First of all many people will want to sort the screen or viewing device, we say device as not all home theatres use a TV, some may use a projector just like in the movie theatre. If you have a screen or even a plain wall you could project images much bigger than any TV you could buy and with many HD projectors now available you could get the crisp picture of a HDTV set but one that engulfs your home.
The only downside to owning a projector is expensive costs compared to many leading LCD and Plasma televisions, also they don't fare well in well lit rooms, and instead they are best used in dark rooms which may make them less preferable as your main TV.
When it comes to sound many people will opt for more speakers and have them placed all around the room, wired speakers can be fiddly and require a degree in electronics as you try to route the cables through your room and hide them out of sight. Fortunately many surround speakers are wireless and can be mounted anywhere in the room with no worries about trailing wires or the wires not being long enough.
There are sound bars, elongated single speakers that include many speaker parts in one long box that can provide pseudo-surround sound and can be great if your room doesn't quite have the space for larger speakers or can't have them mounted on the walls. These sound bars aren't as good as individual speakers from traditional surround sound speaker sets but they are a good alternative that many people have reported as being a suitable substitute.
A lot of people will make sure that other features of their home theatres are in place such as comfy seats and couches and lights with a dimmer switch to make sure your room fits the description. With plenty of new TVs at huge sizes and low prices there are many ways you could create a home theatre experience but you should make sure you do your research and compare the many models out there.
There are many Plasma TVS and LCD TVs as well as all the home entertainment features to help you enjoy TV, movies and sport.
