Home theater screens & equipment

Home Theater screens are a wonderful investment for the home entertainment experience. Many memories await you and your family. You can design a custom home theater projection screen to fit almost any installation and budget. It means planning, researching and purchasing your home theater projector, audio/video receiver and DVD/Blue-Ray player and either a fixed (you can build your own fixed home theater screen for a fraction of the cost of a purchased screen) or motorized home theater screen that will meat your expectations and more importantly, not breaking your budget.

But where do you start? That is a question that constantly comes up all the time… You see, I’ve had a couple home theaters of my own that I set up and built my own fixed home theater screens from scratch… The screen materials I picked up from the local fabric and lumber store. At first I thought about having one custom built by a professional, but learning the cost was more than my budget could bare… So I decided to try it myself… It worked out well and I continuously get compliments on the performance and workmanship.

A knowledgeable enthusiast can do a great home theater installation and achieve a phenomenal image with sound qualities that will blow you away even in a small family room and many will tell you that you need a dedicated room (miniature movie palace) to get any kind of quality from a home theater. This is simply not true… With today’s technologically advanced Screen Material, HDMI 1080P Projectors and Audio/Video receivers, it’s easy to achieve a great image and totally awesome sound from a simple home theater system that you can assemble yourself. You just need to know a few details on setup and what home theater equipment products to buy that fits your application and budget.

One point I will be hammering home any chance I get is that it is very important to know your projector output range before picking one from the barrage of home theater screens available! Don’t just run out and buy the first home theater screen and projector you see, otherwise you’re in for a big disappointment.

For instance, assuming you have the average budget to work with and you run out and buy a 2.35:1 aspect ratio screen… Then you pickup a projector that matches your budget… what you’ll find is that you’ll probably wind up with a home theater screen that is too large width-wise and too short height-wise for the native aspect ratio of the projector. why? Because only the more expensive home those screen aspect ratios. I suggest sticking to a 16:9 aspect ratio screen because you’re more likely to find a home theater projector that can produce a 16:9 image with 1080P quality at an affordable price than one of the larger screen aspect ratios.
