Display

While traditional home theaters tend to sport big screens and front-firing, long-throw projectors, modern systems have plenty of other options. From big screen 4K smart televisions to ultra-short throw projectors that sit mere inches from the wall, your system isn’t limited to a multiplex look.

Ultra HD, also known as 4K, has enabled TVs to look great even when they’re stunningly huge. That means you won’t see pixels, even if you’re enjoying an 80 or 90-inch screen. Plus, HDR ensures you’ll see immense detail thanks to the widened color gamut.

And for those who want to enjoy the benefits of a projector without the hassle of a drop-down installation, ultra-short throw units exist in stylish cabinetry that works within the surrounding decor. Some units offer pictures as big as 100-inches, that disappear completely when the device is not in use. It’s the perfect way to save space without sacrificing quality.

Audio

In a standard home theater, a surround sound system will feature speakers in front of, behind, and (in the case of immersive audio system) above the viewer. But today’s systems are modular and much more flexible. For instance, you can enjoy a full, 5.1 wireless surround sound system in your home theater.

Contemporary wireless systems are capable of fully immersive playback and can work in just about any room. From multi-channel soundbars to satellite speakers that connect over an independent network and won’t interfere with your Wi-Fi signal, you can build the system you want without some of the hassles of installation.

Connectivity

With so many pieces of technology in your home theater, you’ll need a way to control it all easily and comprehensively. A smart home automation system can help you connect your devices so you can operate everything with a single touch.

Remember, a home theater is more than just audio and video. Lights, shades, and other devices can all operate from the same intuitive interface. With one tap on your control device, you can set your theater up for perfect AV presentation.
