Home Movie Theater Screens

When it comes to choosing a projection or TV 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 movie theater is a big one, then you will need to have a home theater projection screen or maybe you just want to go down that route 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 consider 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 baby-boomer 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 television has enough input and output sockets for the equipment you have in mind and you’re done. Therefore, to summarize, I would go for:

At least a 27 inch screen

A flat screen

HDTV compliant

Enough input and output plugs and sockets

Satellite compliant

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 installation whenever you like.
