A Tinseltown Movie Theater At Home

By Owen Jones


Nearly everyone would agree that the cinema or movie theater is a fantastic environment to watch movies and relax - that is the magic of a Tinseltown movie theater.

Surely, the reason for this is because you are watching the movie on a panoramic screen with quadraphonic sound that can easily make you lose yourself in the plot of the film

The high quality of the Tinseltown picture and the realistic stereo system are surely the most entertaining part of the movie theater-going experience. It definitely is not being in the cinema house itself! They are usually full of kiosks trying to get your money before you sit down and full of loud teenagers after you've taken your seat!

But, what if you could bring this technology home with you? And what if it worked out less costly also? Surely, this would definitely be something you would enjoy more. Just think about it for a minute - a real Tinseltown Movie Theater in the house - in your house!

Until a few years ago, only very few American homes had acquired a Tinseltown movie theater to be used in their own houses. In recent years, however, a good percentage of American families are beginning to be less interested in making the effort to watch Tinseltown movies in a movie theater.

Surely, this is due to the evolution of the Tinseltown movie theatre system.

A simple home movie theater is relatively easy to install. All you need is a TV with a screen that is bigger than 27 inches, a DVD player and three ordinary speakers. You have the basic components of a Tinseltown movie theatre. This is possibly enough to give you the level of home movie entertainment that suits you.

However, I should imagine that you want the original feeling of sitting in a full-scale Tinseltown movie theatre, but without the annoying other people or maybe it's you, who would like to sing along, shout out loud or otherwise get involved in the film, but doesn't like to annoy the others. Its possible, you know.

Any how, the reason why I am saying this is because there are other items of kit you might add in order to upgrade the home Tinseltown movie theater experience. A few additions, over time, say, which would ensure a rather more authentic Tinseltown movie theatre experience right in your very own living room.

For instance, you could supplement the above mentioned three vital pieces of equipment by putting in specialist home movie entertainment loungers a cool drinks cabinet; a few small tables for amuse-bouche; adjustable lighting on remote; air conditioning or fans; an usherette with a torch - OK, maybe that's going a bit too far But, everything is determined by the budget you set for your home Tinseltown movie theater. The proportions of the room are another consideration determining how resplendent your home Tinseltown movie theater may be.

A handy piece of advice from home theater enthusiasts is that you need to find the proper size television screen for your Tinseltown home movie theater. The right size does not necessarily mean the biggest you can find in the store. The correct sized television is dependent on the location in your dwelling where you will install the home movie theater. Big is not always the right choice for your home movie entertainment system. It is, however, a recommendation that the television set should not be less than 27 inches, because the picture on a smaller television might be disappointing for a Tinseltown home movie theater. A good rule of thumb is that the seating should be about 5-8 times the diameter of the television screen away for normal eyesight.

Another tip is that you buy speakers that will give you high fidelity surround sound from a high quality manufacturer of speakers. In addition, you need to make sure that if the speakers you buy do not give enough surround sound, then you are able to exchange them. There are speakers that sound fantastic in the mall but when you get them home in a room, they sound inadequate. If the shop allows replacements, then that is all is well and good.

On top of that, you may need to choose a DVD player. Again, quality is important. It is a belief of many home theater experts that all DVD players deliver clear and crisp images. Although some DVD players guarantee a flicker-free picture, almost all DVD players provide this feature, so do not be too much swayed by this assertion.

So, size is important, in this case. Knowing what the size of the room is where you will set up your home Tinseltown movie theater, will be the deciding factor of how big the screen should be. The size of the room is also the basis for reckoning the number of speakers. If the location is of a size, you may require more than the basic three speakers. The addition of a sub-woofer may help too, to achieve a good surround sound if your home Tinseltown movie theater is situated in a bigger room again.

All of these factors will afford you such a home Tinseltown movie theater experience as, a few years ago, only a few could experience. A professional home movie theater designer may be a big help in ensuring you have the best home Tinseltown movie theater set up to give you the best possible home movie theater experience right there in your very own living room.
