Best Home Theater - How To Choose The Best Home Theater System For Yourself

At first it seems like much fun having the cash to indulge and immerse yourself in high-definition video and surround sound, and then you realise there's more decision to be made than just placing a sleek TV panel and a bunch of speakers in the living room. Investing in a home theater system practically takes some planning in order to get the aesthetics right and make yourself comfortable with all the equipment around.

Best Home Theater - How To Choose The Best Home Theater System For Yourself

1. Most readers won't expect this, but first of all, you do need to get your immediate family's agreement to have a home theater right in their midst. Decide whether it's OK to install the system in the living room, or have a separate room dedicated for a most complete TV watching experience while disturbances to other members are minimized.

2. There are 2 main types of flat, high-definition TV: plasma and LCD. Plasma is made for larger size and is closer to 5 figures in pricing than LCD, which can cost as cheaply as less than a thousand. Plasma is the main choice for a TV in a home theater context since LCD TVs have a size limitation.

3. How could you do without a video source? That's the DVD player. Unless you are a discerning aficionado, you'll be spoilt for choice as more advanced technology and decreasing cost continue to impact the market. Almost all come with Dolby® Digital Surround sound (EX 6.1). Watch out for the blu-ray DVD and their players in the coming years.

4. As major TV and radio broadcasts are expected to 'port' into the digital format in the future, the broadcasted material will be encoded with surround sound instructions. A receiver takes advantage by accessing and decoding these instructions to give you superb sounds. Surround sound currently comes in the multi-channel formats of Dolby® Digital EX 6.1 or THX Surround EX(TM) 6.1, DTS, AC-3, etc.

Receivers can connect to most types of players and handle their respective media, including VCR or HiFi and the latest ones are designed to be forward-compatible with future standards and formats. Also, some DVD players have built-in receiver capabilities, and this is great for those looking to do more with less.

5. Speakers usually come in sets of 5: 3 in the front (left, right, center) and 2 at the back (left, right). Check with your dealer that the right speaker is placed for the right position because spoken dialogue and sound effects are handled differently. Note that "surround sound" means separate speakers can play different sounds at the same time. The subwoofer is a different animal as it's in charge of processing low frequency sounds which gives you "deep boom-boom bass". It adds an unexpected dimension to a movie which you would not have 'heard' otherwise.

6. Get the right cables; that means good quality ones. Having the latest equipment is pointless if lousy cables are used for connection as they naturally degrade whatever electrical signals that come through them.

7. Check how you can make your home theater lightning-proof or safe against power surges. You can safeguard your equipment once you take certain precautions. Ask for professional advice.

These are just general guidelines for you to refer, but you can take it from here to build your further interest in home theater equipment or home electronics. If possible, ask for a test at your dealership to get yourself familiarized with the quality you desire. Ask your dealer to help define a proper checklist of things you are looking for to gain clarity. The more ticks you can make on paper, the clearer your mind gets.

RMS Power vs Peak Power

RMS and Peak power are ratings used to determine the overall performance of home audio products, such as speakers, subwoofers, and amplifiers. This article is an overview of how these ratings work and are applied.

RMS Power vs Peak Power

RMS Power refers to Root-Means-Square power. The formula for determining RMS power is 70.7 x Peak Power Rating. The RMS power rating is a measure of continuous power measured in watts and the higher the RMS power means the device is either able to provide or accept the specified power over a significant length of time without fail.

Many suppliers use the PEAK POWER ratings in their specifications. We do not recommend the use of Peak Power ratings when assessing the capabilities of a music product because Peak Power does not reflect a product's capabilities under normal, every day use. It is simply a measure of how much power can be generated of handled for a very short period of time. Speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers should be compared using the RMS power ratings to ensure that the right product is chosen for the application in question.

As an example, if a speaker has a RMS wattage rating of 100 watts and a connected amplifier has a RMS wattage rating of 100 watts, the speaker should theoretically, be a perfect match regarding power capabilities and result in optimum performance from both products. Most importantly don't be fooled by "Peaker Power" or the erroneous numbers often made up by the supplier. Only true power, under everyday, realistic circumstances actually means anything.

When people talk about a home theater system, they are talking about many different aspects of the home's entertainment system, including the video and the audio system you are using. In most cases, people only concentrate on the video aspect of the home theater, not realizing that the audio part is just as important as the video.

Beginning in the 1990s, video inputs were added to stereo receivers and amplifiers. Today, almost all companies that produces entertainment systems make combination audio/video equipment for home theater listening and viewing.

To have an entertainment system that is considered a "home theater," you need to have a large-screen television connected to a hi-fi sound system.Most homes with home theaters use a large-screen projection system rather than a television set.

Types of Products Available

The purpose of having a home theater system is to reproduce movie theater-quality picture and sound in your home. The video aspect is usually a large-screen, high-definition television or a projection system with a movie screen to project the image on. The audio system is usually provided by a hi-fidelity surround sound system.

In the past, television, VCR, and a set of speakers were the only form of home theater system available for people. Today, the technology has advanced to the point that it is no longer necessary to go to a movie house to enjoy a theater-quality movieexperience.

Cost

The cost of these products depends on which products you wish to use in your home theater. A large, widescreen, hi-definition television can cost around $ 2,500, and the sound system can cost approximately $ 500 to $ 800, depending on the quality of sound and the brand you intend to purchase. The cost of these systems will also vary among different department stores. It will be your responsibility to find the good brands at the lowest prices. Do not just look into one store, shop around at other stores.

Optoma HD33, 1080p, 3D Projector

Optoma HD33, 1080p, 3D Projector

 

Technical Details

• Bright at 1800 ANSI lumens and contrast ratio of 4000:1
• 3D-capable for Blu-ray and gaming consoles
• Up to 300-inch screen size for large group viewing
• Features Texas Instruments 1080p DLP chipset
• PureMotion image processing ensures smooth, judder-free images

Optoma HD33, 1080p, 3D Projector

The projector has zero crosstalk or ghosting which was tested on several of my 3D Blu-rays. The 3D performance on this machine is phenomenal and to me well worth the money spent. One of my tests, How To Train Your Dragon in 3D, looked great. I only have one set of glasses but my friends (who are non-videophiles) tried it out and were both impressed with it. To them, it was just as good as our local commercial cinema, if not better. The jump in brightness in 3D mode was sufficient enough to almost counter-act donning the glasses which was important to me.

Several days ago I tested the frame-interpolation out on the Monday Night Football game. While I am not a fan of FI, I thought it was a nice touch to sports, real smooth and fluid, others may like this feature to remove judder from 24p films though. It works just as I assumed it would.

Optoma HD33, 1080p, 3D Projector

Just received my HD33 Saturday Sept. 3rd. I was not sure how good the 3D would look, now I cant believe how good this projector is. 2D images are very good, it reminds me the Sony I have and will continue to use it for regular movies, VPL-AW10, got this one back in 2007 it has 1024 hrs on the lamp, and it is still looking Very Good, I should change the lamp when reaches maybe 2000 hrs.
Back to the HD33, this is my second 3D pj, got last dec.2010 the LG BX327, but never liked, bad image contrast ratio, poor 2d, poor 3d and 4:3 native, just bad. I think it will be going to the trash tomorrow.

It will work just fine with the DLP Link glasses, I prefer this one over the RF glasses. I've tried those in the past, just couldn't bear the flickering, you wont see flickering on the DLP link ones.

When watching movies remember to turn the PureMotion off, it will give a more natural look to the movie. The PureMotion was meant for sports, races, otherwise your movie will look "speedy", the " soap opera effect ."
About brightness, in 3D mode images are perfect, did not think it was dim at all. You are able to control the brightness level as you like it, without living the movie!
Well, I am very happy with Optoma HD33, and would recommend to anyone considering a 3D Home Theater Projector.
I will be getting an Extended Service Warranty, 3 or 4 years would be reasonable, just in case.

Optoma HD33, 1080p, 3D Projector

The HD33 is amazing! The 3D quality is impressive. I tested it in several movies I have and they came out excellent.
The unit is solid, and much better than from the pictures I've seen.
I was thinking to get the Sony 3D projector or the Panasonic model, but I am glad that I chose this one.
