Hello World! Welcome Friends! The cinema is a wonderful place to go for entertainment. There’s something about the communal experience of watching a film on a big screen with other people that can be very satisfying. However, going to the movies has some significant downsides too not just for your wallet, but also for your time and energy levels. If this sounds like you then read on! We have some tips that will help you get more from your movie-watching experience at home than at the theater.
Screen Size
Let’s start with the most important: quality. A problem that almost all people have when watching a movie at home compared to the cinema is the screen size and sound system. Obviously, you can’t do much about the screen size if you watch movies in your own home. However, there are ways to get around this difficulty. Television manufacturers now produce TV sets with screens as large as 164 inches. If you don’t have one of those, or you simply want a different viewing experience, there are also ways to make your regular TV appear larger and more like the cinema. You could also purchase 3D glasses to have a really immersive experience. If you’re really serious about having a good movie-watching experience at home, then invest in a short throw projector for a superior view. You can purchase one for as little as $160 these days! While they will never compare to the big screen with surround sound speakers of the cinema, they can be great for regular viewing.
Sound System
The second most important thing about watching movies at home is the sound system. You really need to invest in a good surround sound speaker system if you want your viewing experience to be closer to that of the cinema. The speaker systems built into today’s flat-screen televisions are designed for TV broadcasts, not home theaters. They don’t come anywhere close to the quality of surround sound that you get at the theater. This is where surround sound speakers can help. You can buy a good sound system for a relatively low price these days, and it will be more than enough to give you the theater-like sound that you need. You can either purchase a 5.1 speaker system or a 7.1 depending on your space and preferences. You can easily improve the sound you hear from your TV or laptop at home by simply purchasing a better quality sound system. This doesn’t have to cost the Earth, either; a simple good quality soundbar can be enough to take your movie experience up a notch or two.
Time and Money
Of course, another good reason to stay in and watch movies at home is the money you can save. If you live in a big city then it’s often much more expensive to go to the movies than it is at home. If you live in a less populated area, then it’s often cheaper to watch movies at home than it is to go to the cinema.
What’s more, you can save time by watching movies at home. Instead of traveling to the theater, sitting around until a film starts, and then going home again after it’s finished, you can simply stay in and watch a movie. You don’t have to worry about missing the beginning or end of the film, you don’t have to wait in line and you don’t have to sit around until the end. You can simply load up your laptop or TV, pick a film, and enjoy.
Comfy Seating
There are many different ways you can make your viewing experience more comfortable, too. The seating is one of the most important things to take into consideration. Comfortable seating is a must for movie night. It’s one of the most common reasons why people go to the cinema, so it’s something that you really need to consider when watching movies at home. Whether it’s soft cushions, reclining chairs, or beanbags, your seating should be comfortable.
We hope that the points we’ve made in this article have convinced you to spend a night at home watching movies. Sure, it may not be as glamorous or exciting as going to the cinema, but if you do your homework and invest some money into better quality sound equipment and seating, not to mention more comfortable seats you’ll find that movie nights at home can be just as enjoyable! In fact, many people would argue that they’re even better than going for a trip down memory lane with friends and family on Saturday evening. So go ahead: turn off all of the lights tonight and enjoy a good film from the comfort of your own couch. With our input, you will surely get an unforgettable experience!
