We all want a fairly decent home theater room. Even if all we have space for is a very small entertainment setup, it’s a luxury to have a home theater space and on a budget, you can certainly have that. It’s all about understanding where to spend and what your priorities are in terms of what type of content you like to watch.
You Will Spend The Most On Your Screen
Video quality is key. A cheap home theater system must have minimum a high-quality screen. A flat-screen. A monitor. A projector screen. Something like this will probably be the most expensive thing you spend money on in a home theater.
Mount Your Screen, Add Lights
For a real theatrical look that doesn’t take a lot, add a TV wall mount to lift your screen and lighting’s the next thing. A real impressive LED-style light setup will blow guests away when they come to join you in your home theater space.
Audio Quality Is Not To Be Forgotten
Audio is equal to video. You want very good audio quality. That said, audio is a lot cheaper comparatively. There are some very high-quality Bluetooth soundbars and home theater sound systems very affordable.
Buy A Smart TV Box
If you don’t have a smart TV, don’t worry. You just need an Android smart TV box. They can connect you to wireless internet and add all the features of a smart TV to any stream. They’ll immediately increase what you can watch and connect you to all the top streaming services.
Local TV From An HDTV Antenna
You don’t need a cable TV connection to enjoy local TV. Try an HDTV antenna instead. To go all the way with it, you may want an outdoor TV antenna but you don’t necessarily need one. An indoor HDTV antenna can stretch about just as far as most outdoor antennas do.
Connect To Ethernet, Not WiFi
Ethernet networking cables offer wired Internet. No slow speeds. No buffering. No interruptions. Maximum internet, 24/7. If your home theater is in a place where you’re concerned about buffering and speed, set up a wired connection. You won’t regret it and it’s very inexpensive.
Surge Protectors And Power Strips
Don’t be struggling to find plugs. A surge protector or a high-quality multi-outlet power strip is an added cost but it’s worth it. There are also some unique ways for you to disguise cabling and attempt to make things look a little more presentable if that’s also a concern. A surge protector plays into that. It cleans up the presentation.
THAT’s just a little glimpse into how you can build a home theater room on a budget. It’s about creativity as well. You can do a lot with a creative mind. Come and shop at PrimeCables.ca for home theater accessories and more.
