Home Movie Theater Screens

By Owen Jones | June 8, 2009

When it comes to deciding on a screen, the first thing to think about is the type of screen you want or even may need. If the room where you are setting up your home theater is a big one, then you will need to have a home theater projection screen or maybe you just want one anyway.

I, personally, like the idea of having a drop-down screen, but sometimes you have to have one even in a modestly-sized home movie theater. It would convert your living room into a home movie theater. Imagine: you recline in your chair; click the remote and a screen drops down; click another remote and the lights dim; click another one and the film commences!

However, if you prefer a television screen, then you might be considering buying a new one. They say that a 27 inch screen is adequate, but I do not think it is. I really think you need 48-60 inches, but then I am a 50 something year old and my eyes are definitely not what they used to be.

If you are buying a new TV for your home movie theater set-up, I think you should get the best you can afford. HDTV is upon us and since February 2009 the United States is committed to High Definition. Therefore, I would ensure that your new TV is able to receive it. Then I recommend that the new home movie theater screen is a flat one in order to reduce the annoying glare that could ruin the experience, which is another reason for opting for a drop-down projection screen.

Finally, you should make sure that the new TV has enough input and output plugs for the peripheral equipment you have in mind and you’re done. Therefore, to summarize, I recommend you go for:

More than a 27 inch screen

A flat screen

HDTV compatibility

Plenty of input and output plugs

Satellite enabled

I recommend satellite compatibility because it is probably the future or near future at least. If you get a satellite TV connection you will have access to HDTV downloads which you can watch whenever you like.
