How and where you watch a movie can significantly impact your entire experience of the media. And if you’re a regular film connoisseur, you more likely prefer the setting of your local cinema for your next movie night.

Plus, it’s always nice to have a night in with family and loved ones—which is why a home theater system is the perfect choice for your living space.

OPTIMIZE YOUR VISUAL EXPERIENCE
Why Display Quality Matters
What you see on your screen is half of what makes up a movie-viewing experience, so you’ll want your home theater’s screen to deliver a powerful image every time. Our team recommends going with a high resolution display that makes every image look vivid and lifelike.
Choosing the Right Screen
For the best value, a 4K Ultra HD screen or projector is four times the resolution of a standard one, and top-quality displays have incredible High-Dynamic Range imaging, as well as high color contrast. You won’t see any distortion no matter how close you get to the screen, so you can feel like you’re truly a part of the action. Plus, high screen refresh rates lessen motion blur on screen—so your home theater will be prepared to host game night when your favorite team is playing.
OLED 4K Displays
There are also OLED 4K displays. These screens light up each pixel in the display individually—meaning that the screen customizes every scene’s image. The lighting creates a beautifully detailed image, separating the scene’s brighter and darker tones. You’ll have richer blacks and vibrant colors for every viewing.
Projection and Projector Screens
For a truly cinematic experience, consider a high-quality projector screen. This enhances the overall visual quality and provides a larger viewing area, making your home theater feel like a real cinema.
ELEVATE YOUR AUDIO WITH SURROUND SOUND
Now for the other half of the theater’s atmosphere: the sound. With a solution like Dolby Atmos, you’ll never need to go to the local theater again. Dolby Atmos takes the surround sound setup to a new level. Its immersive qualities make it unparalleled. While usual surround sound setups have speakers throughout the room, Dolby Atmos does too—but the system brings every individual sound into a three-dimensional soundscape. Now your audio moves all throughout the room, in all directions—above, behind, and at every side of you.
Depending on the scene, you’ll hear a helicopter flying above your head, people passing you on the street, or waves rolling in the ocean. You’re placed right in the middle of your media. Dolby Atmos delivers audio that is completely unrivaled.
INCORPORATE SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY
Integrate Smart Solutions
Who says your home theater setup only needs to include home theater solutions? Our team can easily integrate the smart home technologies you love from around the rest of your house—right into your entertainment space.
Smart Lighting Control and Shades
Smart lighting control lets you dim your fixtures right before a film starts, while motorized shades can prevent any sunlight glares if your room has windows. Smart thermostats make the temperature just right for movie-watching. You can even connect your home theater AV system to your whole-home audio video, so everyone can enjoy the music or other media that’s playing in the rest of the house in the theater as well.
Create Custom Scenes
Create and set scenes that prepare you for a TV show binge or a marathon of your favorite franchise. The lights will turn off, the shades will lower, and your whole entertainment system will turn on—all with the push of a button. It’s that easy.
