Every movie buff and/or TV lover has a home theater system at the top of his “wants” list. If you too are a member of the “I want a home theater” club and are now planning to move up to the “I own a home theater club”, here’s some buying advice for you.
A home theater set consists of an LCD TV, a DVD player, speakers and a remote. One must choose each of these components carefully.
The general perception about LCD TVs is that the bigger they are the better it is, however size is not all that matters. Of course you need a big screen for a home theater system, but before you decide on the size of the screen calculate your viewing area. You’ll get a better experience with a big screen, if you viewing couch is at an adequate distance from the screen. The universally accepted distance for a 50 inch screen is 16 feet. Do make sure the LCD has a high pixel resolution and a good contrast ratio.
Most DVD players provide good picture quality. Even though an expensive one may be slightly better than its cheaper counterpart, the slight difference is generally not worth the money, if picture and sound quality are your only concerns. You may have to pay more for wireless, high definition HD ones or for those with additional features like disk changers, parental control settings etc.
Buying the right kind of speakers is also extremely important for a good viewing experience. For a complete surround sound system you would need center, left and right speakers, two satellite speakers and a subwoofer. You can opt for a dolby or digital format. Though both are good, the DTS has become quite popular.
If you do not want to shop for individual components you can buy integrated home theater systems offered by most companies.
Finally, do make sure that you keep aside a budget for home theater accessories like TV cleaning kits and extra component cables if needed. If you buy an integrated home theater system, you may also consider buying additional speakers or remote control systems.
