Home theater and where to begin



If you are looking into upgrading your current TV and speakers or if you just want to dedicate a room to home theater you may be wondering where to begin. The first step is to decide what room in your house you will be using. The size and shape of your room will determine what type of speakers and what size TV you will be able to use. Once you choose a room, you can then start the fun part of finding new equipment. Now i will cover choosing a TV size. When picking out a TV size you must first take in account the size of the room and the viewing distance. For a standard 4:3 TV the viewing distance is 3 to 6 times the width, but with widescreen and HD you can sit 1 1/2 times the diagonal distance of the screen which is much closer. In my next blog i will cover types of TVs and products you may not think too much about that are key in a great home theater.
