Custom-built home theater rooms have made a resurgence recently. The pandemic was certainly part of the reason. But the popularity of streaming services and the affordability of new, high-quality technology has helped home theater make a comeback. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of having your own custom home theater.
1. High-Quality Entertainment All of the Time
The pandemic kept families under the same roof for an extended period. And the recent rise in home costs has kept adult children at home longer than ever before. Add the fact that the price of home theater equipment has fallen, and the popularity of streaming services has skyrocketed, it seems like anyone with a laptop can now have a high-quality entertainment experience. So, why bother going to the movies when you can enjoy your entertainment just steps away in another room? Plus, you don’t have to pay $8.00 for popcorn.2. Cinema-Like Visuals
The price of technology is more affordable than ever. Big screen 4K TVs and laser projectors that were once only attainable by the elite are now a fraction of the cost. These video technologies allow you to enjoy visuals that are comparable, if not better, than the movie theater. Affordable 4K ultra-high-definition TVs, for example, provide bigger, brighter, and sharper images for movies, watching sports, and playing video games. When watching live sports on a high-def large screen, you feel like you are on the field with the players. You can become so immersed in a movie that you feel like you are part of the cast. And the kids won’t complain about poor graphics when playing video games.3. High-Performance Audio
High-performance audio elevates the entertainment experience. New, wireless surround sound technology immerses you in the dialogue, the music, and the FX of movies. It makes watching sports feel like it’s happening on your front lawn. One of the most significant benefits of customizing your home theater room is that you can maximize acoustics for the best sound as well as sound-proof all around, so you don’t disturb the rest of the house.4. Smart Automation
An automation system in your home theater allows you to control the lights, playback, sound, and the rest of your technology without getting up from your seat. You can connect all the AV equipment to your laptop or smartphone to play, pause, and adjust the volume of whatever you are watching. You can choose a movie or TV show from your online streaming service. And you can set the lights to be at a certain level throughout the movie, and then turn them back on at the end with just a tap of your fingers.Home Theater Design-Build
