Creating Your Home Cinema: An Overview
Getting your hands on the latest technologies can be tempting, but it’s worth looking into your current set up to figure out what can and cannot be achieved. Below are some things to consider as you create your home cinema:
- Your space: how much physical space do you have to work with? Can you accommodate a large screen TV? Do you have a spare blank wall to project entertainment onto?
- Your current set up: do you have an entertainment unit to fill or are you looking to wall mount or have freestanding products?
- Your viewing needs: are you mainly a TV viewer? Do you enjoy movie marathons with friends or perhaps you’re a gamer?
- Your budget: how much do you have to spend? What’s your limit?
