Mount your TV while Keeping Things Simple, Fast, and Easy

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

The process of installing a TV wall mount and then, mounting your flat-screen can take time and effort. Done incorrectly and you could wind up with a damaged wall or TV. Unfortunately, poor TV wall mount installations are common. Equipment not mounted to studs and/or not enough screws are two of the several mistakes one can make when trying to mount. Alternatively, here are a few ways to keep things simple, fast, and easy.

 

Plan ahead.

 

Knowing what devices you need to connect, the cables you’ll need, your speaker system, and any shelving units or cabinets required to house your devices, make a plan as to how you want to proceed. You may choose to use certain devices wireless while in other households, it may be better to go with a wired Ethernet connection. Light, wall support, and height all need to factor in, when deciding where to place your TV wall mount.

Buy the correct cables.

You don’t want to have everything in its right place only to find out you don’t have the right cables or enough of them. If you’re concerned about the number of cables you have, consider a surge protector to keep things safe and hazard-free. You will also want to buy some cable ties if you’re going to have more than two or three cables. These ties can help keep wire together and organized.

 

Ventilation.

Every electronic device needs space to ventilate, as they all create heat which can damage them or shorten their lifespan. Therefore, ensure you’ve left a little space behind the TV set to ensure it does not overheat in any way. Any cabinetry you use for devices should also have ventilation holes to allow heat to escape. For device-heavy households, they may choose to install a cabinet cooling fan if everything’s locked in.

 

Use the studs.

The best advice we can give anyone when it comes time to affix your mount to the wall is to find the studs and use them. There is no point in mounting a flat-screen if there aren’t studs to attach the mount to. Be sure to use a stud finder and use those studs as a means of securing your wall mount. They will help in ensuring the weight of a flat-screen does not cause any damage to the wall.

 

Using these tips, we’re confident installing a TV wall mount will be simpler, faster, and easier all-around. Choose from Canada’s best TV wall mounts today at PrimeCables.

Should you Buy a Projector and Projector Screen for your Home – a Case Study

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

Many Canadian households have what we would call a ‘home theater system’. There’s a difference though between what we consider ‘home theater’ and what we call ‘home cinema’. More high-class, luxury-ridden, and professional, home cinema is much larger and more immersive. To reach a place where you have a home cinema setup, it oftentimes requires a sizeable screen. To get the biggest screen for the best price, many Canadians choose to go without a TV screen and purchase a projector instead.

 

Should you buy a home theater projector – some might say, yes. That said, projectors are often quite costly, especially when you begin searching for ones that can carry 4K signals. At PrimeCables, we think there are some ways to get around the obvious disadvantage of the price tag. Shopping with PrimeCables, we have more than a dozen premiere projector models on discount, in addition to offering ‘free shipping’ to anywhere in Canada on all orders above $49, free returns, and a 1-year product guarantee.

 

PrimeCables works with all of its manufacturers to offer the best possible price on home theater accessories like projectors, projector mounts, and projector screens. Minimizing costs on your projector, you won’t have to overpay on something that’s inferior to a flat-screen. Instead, when you buy a projector through PrimeCables, you’ll receive a high quality, premiere home cinema product affordably priced. Keep in mind a projector can have the same high-definition 1080p video and amazing audio you can receive from a flat-screen.

 

If you enjoy customizing and personalizing home theater products to match your preferences, there’s a lot of modifications you can make with a projector. As a portable product, it’s easy to move around the room to find the optimum viewing position. If you wish, its video size can be modified to both large and small depending on what you need. Using a projector mount, you may fixate it to a location similar to a movie theatre. Lastly, using a projector screen, you can get all those deep blacks, bright colors, and optimum picture design. Just as an example, PrimeCables has both 100” and 108” projector screen portable and collapsible options for a wall or ceiling mount.

 

PrimeCables’ projectors boast impressive resolution and breathtaking imagery. Featuring great color accuracy, connectivity to almost any digital device, and is aesthetically adaptable to every home theater system. If you’re tired of using a TV screen or aren’t able to get the size you want under your budget, a projector and projector screen is highly impressive. Used by home cinema entertainment systems across Canada, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what you’ll find with PrimeCables.

Turn your Living Room into a Movie Theater with a Projector and Projector Mount

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

An amazing home theater system that’s affordable, high tech, and immersive is not hard to come by with PrimeCables. If you’ve ever wanted to create the closest thing to a home movie theatre for the living room, an inexpensive projector and projector mount combination is where many start. Though TV screens have their advantages, a projector expands the limitations of screen capacity to accommodate larger, more detailed images.

 

If you’ve always used a television screen, now’s the perfect time to consider a switch to a projector. Be it for a small or large space, a projector can be tailored to that space with high-definition 1080p quality and more. Sadly, many Canadians would never consider replacing their old TV with a projector. Using one though, you may end up re-thinking your entire home theater system. If you end up enjoying a projector, buying an accommodating projector mount and projector screen are a great way to set things up. After you’ve seen a projector’s image, it’s difficult to pass up on the possibility of watching however large or small you want to go.

 

Examining high-end home theater systems in luxury properties, many will notice that these homeowners gravitate towards projectors instead of TVs. If you are looking to accommodate a family sized viewing experience or enjoy having friends over to watch sports, concerts, or live events, a projector’s a pretty cool thing to embrace. Also, it gets around the size of a TV screen. For rooms dedicated to TV viewing, a projector is perfect. Even trying it out on a white wall, you should see the difference. Anything can be used as a projection surface. Even better, connect an existing surround sound system or speaker system, laptops and digital devices, or whichever video source you wish. A projector is very diverse in what it accepts as a source.

 

Projectors come in a wide range of price points. Courtesy of PrimeCables, there’s the portable LCD projector 1500 Lumens for $64.99, the Epson VS345 WXGA 3LCD projector for $539.99, the Epson PowerLite 980W WXGA 3LCD projector for $1,079, and the Epson PowerLite 2040 XGA 3LCD projector for $1,416.

Designing your Ultimate Home Theater Systems by Renovating your Living Room

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

The layout of your living room plays a key role in implementing a home theater system. Designing the ultimate in-home entertainment experience relies heavily on what’s possible in your living room. For Canadian households who want to take their home theater system from plain to remarkable, take a look around. There may be opportunities to renovate your living room to make it more conducive to media consumption.

 

For many living rooms, it’s a common practice to see some sort of mass-marketed HD television mounted on a white wall. If you haven’t done so already, using a TV wall mount to suspend your screen in mid-air can establish theatre-esque viewing all ages are sure to enjoy. The next recommendation to step it up a notch is to install and add speakers with either a home theater speaker stand or mount. These are all pretty easy and somewhat inexpensive ways to maximize what’s already available in your living room. For those on a budget, start here.

 

For those who have a little money to spend and who want to really get into the nitty gritty of designing the ultimate home theater system for themselves, a living room renovation might be in the works. Think of your personal style and preferences. Think of the décor you may want to add to the room. Take a look through examples of some high-end luxury media spaces to get some ideas. In some cases, you may wish to put your speakers directly into the wall. In other cases, it may require a custom build to get all the accessories you want in the same area.

 

If you’re working with a compact space like a semi-detached home, townhouse, or condo, customizing one’s media space can assist in delivering an even more immersive, room-filling viewing experience. Consider contacting a renovation company experienced in home theater-based constructions. They may have specific recommendations regarding audio working in the space’s acoustics, the size of the room, how many people the room is intended to accommodate, in-wall options, the possibility of using a projector instead of a TV screen, and more.

 

Leverage your budget and enjoy a well-designed, home theater integrated space. Shop your home theater renovations with PrimeCables and enjoy the lowest prices in Canada on mounts, stands, HDTV antennas, media streaming devices, media boxes, projectors, projector screens, A/V receivers, pro audio, speaker systems, soundbars, HDMI cables, home theater cables, and more!

3 Advantages to turning your Restaurant into a Multi-TV Theater Room for Patrons

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

The Canadian restaurant industry is dependent upon small businesses being able to differentiate from the pack. In an era of tech and screens, multi-TV theater rooms for patrons is a favored approach taken by everyone from sports bars to family settings.

 

As one of Canada’s top eCommerce spaces for A/V commercial systems and home theater arrangements, PrimeCables would like to share a few of the advantages to building a multi-TV entertainment setup for your restaurant.

 

Setting the right tone on the floor

 

Across the main dining rooms of your restaurant, you want to ensure you’ve set the right tone. Multi-TV theater systems for restaurants are a great way to tailor audio and picture to attract and keep consumers. Things like number of screens and speaker placement is highly important. The more speakers you have, the more control you can have over the volume. The less speakers, the louder they will have to be, possibly resulting in an uncomfortable experience. The same can be said for less screens. The more screens there are, the more likely every patron is to have a good view.

 

Management can control the atmosphere by hour

 

Certain times of day call for different approaches. After a restaurant has an A/V theater system in place, staff and management have the option to adjust what’s on screen and volume. For example, a competitive sports game in the evening and into the night will require a louder presentation. If it’s mid-afternoon and the restaurant is more or less empty, you don’t need to give it so much. In fact, you may change the source of what’s being viewed on your commercial A/V system to better accommodate the limited guests.

 

Personalize every event

 

When there are special events, you can personalize and create restaurant events inviting consumers to come in and watch together. The Olympics, the World Cup, the Stanley Cup playoffs, election night, the Academy Awards, and so many other events come once in a while. When they do, transform your restaurant into a place consumers want to be. Throw in some specials on food and/or beverages and you may have a winning combination on your hands. If you have a separate room in your restaurant, you may also wish to look into hosting events like private parties, business meetings, and/or birthday parties.

 

Shop PrimeCables today for everything you need to build a commercial A/V system for restaurants, including TVs, wall mounts, stands, media boxes, streaming devices, projectors and projector mounts, A/V receivers, HDMI cables, speaker systems, pro audio soundbars, and more!

Why Now is a Great Time to Upgrade your Home Media and Home Theater Room

Andrew the Cable NingaLeave a comment

We all have TVs in our homes. Few of us have what the home theater industry likes to call ‘media rooms’. These are dedicated spaces where home theater systems are built and where the focal point of the room is in creating the most immersive, comfortable viewing experience there is. Now’s a great time to upgrade your TV area into a home theater/home media room. That’s because of the affordability of high quality products at PrimeCables.

 

As one of Canada’s fastest growing home theater eCommerce brands, PrimeCables specializes in providing different home theater products to be used in customized media room configurations. There’s no set rules when it comes to building or upgrading a home media room. Go with a big screen and tall speakers. Use a TV wall mount to uproot your flat-screen and suspend it against the wall. Choose a projector and projector screen for a completely different home theater room. Select appropriately sized home theater accessories if you’re working with a small condo-esque space, or pair together some bigger, bolder products to arrive at something more heavy-duty.

 

Browse the PrimeCables catalogue for the best discounts and deals on speaker systems, HDMI cables, pro audio components, A/V receivers, A/V cables, TV wall mounts, TV stands, outdoor and indoor TV antennas, media streaming boxes and devices, projectors, projector mounts, projector screens, Blu-ray cables, smart home accessories, network routers and switches, and more.

A complete home theater media room experience may be just a few clicks away. Remember, any orders above $49 receives fast, free shipping to anywhere in Canada so be sure to buy appropriately.

 

The great thing to remember about building a ‘media room’ is that it does not necessarily need to equate to just an average home theater system. Yes, ‘media rooms’ can be somewhere to watch TV and movies but they’re also ideal for those seeking a place to stream their favourite media off websites like YouTube, to stream and listen to their favourite music, to play video games, and more. Media rooms can be small or large. The ultimate key to a media room is to ensure it’s customized to fit your home and lifestyle. It’s up to the homeowner to decide what best suits their home’s style and needs!
