Enhance Your Movie-Watching Experience With The Best Display Possible

Why go to the movies when you can get a cinematic experience at your home in Westchester, NY? When you have a home theater, you can personalize everything to your liking – from the seating and design to the audio and video display. 

Whether you’re just beginning the planning process, or you have already begun the design, a key component of home theaters will always be the theater screen. While many wide-screen TVs exist, high-end theater screens, along with laser projectors, remain the top solutions for home cinemas. But how can you choose the best screen?

Read on to learn about the three things to consider, so you can have an amazing viewing experience in your custom home theater.

Screen Size

Most homeowners think a bigger projector screen offers better results. But that’s not true. Your screen’s size is dependent on multiple factors, including the seating arrangement, room size, and projector type. 

Most people consider adding a super-large screen to their home theater, covering the entire wall. However, if you’re installing your speakers right next to the screen, you must leave some room for them. Moreover, you want the best possible view from the seats. A larger screen may not give the best front-row view if the seating is less than 12 feet from the screen. You can use a smaller screen to accommodate your home theater space. So, the screen size all depends on your preferences as well as the shape and size of the room. Electronic Concepts can help you determine the best-sized screen for your space. 

Screen Material

Generally, screens are made of vinyl. While they are a good solution, they aren’t the best when the speakers are installed behind the screen. Yes, you can install hidden speakers behind the display for an incredible auditory experience! 

For this type of home theater speaker setup, it’s best to choose a woven or perforated screen. The tiny, invisible holes in the screen allow sound to pass through without degrading the video or sound quality. Moreover, the screens can be retractable or fixed. Fixed screens are better for recreating the look of LCDs, while retractable screens allow you to transform your home theater into a multipurpose media room. 

Screen Color

Most projector screens are white or gray, and they serve their purpose in a well-designed home theater. Generally, theater designs have proper lighting that doesn’t hinder the video quality. However, if your home cinema has ambient lighting, it might interfere with the visuals. In this case, a black projector screen is best. It only absorbs light from the projector, offering ultra-high-definition visuals. You won’t have to close doors or windows to watch a movie. However, they don’t have viewing flexibility like white screens, which may impact the movie-watching experience for those who aren’t directly in front of the screen.
