1. Laser Projectors

The main highlight of a home theater is always the projector. But standard projectors require certain conditions, such as little or no lighting and a large space for optimal view. However, these limitations aren’t an issue when you add laser projectors. 

With a high number of lumens, laser projectors deliver clear and crisp visuals even in well-lit spaces. The lifelike colors make the scenes you watch much more captivating and detailed. The incredible laser technology ensures you experience the same visuals as you get in a cinema. The only difference is that instead of only watching the movies, you can stream any content you want in the same cinematic quality.

If your home theater space is particularly small, no worries. Just opt for an ultra-short-throw projector. These powerhouses are capable of projecting a huge image even when only a few inches away from the screen, so there’s no need for the large throw distance a standard laser projector requires. 

2. Surround Sound System

After visuals, sound is the most important element of a home theater. But simply adding a standard stereo system isn’t enough to experience a captivating cinematic feel. Instead, you need a surround sound system that engulfs you with audio from all angles. 

Equipped with front, center, ceiling, and back speakers, you may add one of many several different channel systems, depending on the available space. The high-performance sound adds more depth to each spoken word of dialogue and every song, thus enhancing the movie-watching experience. Depending on the brand you choose, the speakers may be wired or wireless and can be mounted on or in walls to save space. 

3. Automation System 

Last but not least, an automation system is also an essential part of home theaters. The smart system streamlines all home cinema technologies, allowing you to adjust the lighting, shades, AV components, and more with a press of a button. 

Customize a movie-watching scene where the lights tune out, the shades drop, and the climate control adjusts the temperature at your preferred setting. Moreover, the movie can be paused/played, and the volume can be adjusted using the same convenient interface. 

Whether you need to pre-program the system or adjust the devices on the spot, the choice is yours.
