Home Theater Screens
If you're looking to improve your home theater system then you may want to look into the different home theater screens types. All of them bring the atmosphere of the movies into your home, and they're built the same way. Plus viewing a movie at home is more relaxed and convenient than having to go to the movies.
In theory, you could throw up a sheet on the wall and call it a day. Why would you want to invest in a home theater screen? First off, using a sheet, you'd be staring at fuzzy pictures at best, so why go through the expense and effort of selecting other components of your home theater and then ignore the viewing surface?
If you are looking for ease in selecting a screen for your home theater then maybe a plasma TV would be good for you. It is thin and able to be mounted either on the wall which will give you a movie theater feel or on a cabinet to make your furniture more appealing.
Lots of people are opting for a projection screen due to its ability to accommodate a large range of movies and HDTV viewing. When it is used for this purpose, using the standard 16:9 ratio will work just fine. If you are into watching older movies and also some of the newer DVD formats which may have a different size to them, images may appear with a black bar across the top and bottom of the screen. The screen material and size may be an issue for you. If this is the case you may want to consider a 2.35 format screen which could be a better choice due to the ability to manage the image and how it appears on the screen.
There are also different types of projectors that you could use in your home theater like electric projector screens, fixed frame projector screens, movie board home cinema projection screens, home cinema projector screens, portable projector screens, and manual projector screens. If compared with the price of the plasma TV, the projectors could be less money.
Choosing your own home theater screen will depend on your budget and your needs. You will have to select the one that could fit well on your home theater room and that meets your viewing preferences. Remember that bigger doesn't always mean better. Think of where you like to sit in a movie theater. You usually want to take in the whole screen and not have to constantly move your eyes from side to side to follow the action.
Do some basic research before you purchase your home theater screen. You'll need to consider screen size, but keep in mind any technical limitations that your video projector may have. It won't do you any good to have a huge screen if your projector can only display up to certain distances.
