3 Reasons to Update or Upgrade Your Home Theater System
Enjoying a Cinematic Experience at Home Has Never Been Easier
The pandemic has impacted so many aspects of our lives and certainly profoundly affected tourism and conferences right here in Las Vegas. But, while we're on the road back to normalcy, some of the impacts have endured. One of them is in cinema and film.
During the pandemic, many theaters closed temporarily, resulting in a dearth of new releases. Even now, when theaters have reopened with or without limitations, there haven't been many great reasons to go to the movies.
What does that mean? It's a better time than ever to invest in a home theater system for your Henderson, NV home. The newer immersive video and audio formats, plus the vast array of available content, make it easier than ever to bring the cinema experience home. Keep reading for three reasons why now is the perfect time for a home theater upgrade.

Content, Content, Content
Some years ago, cable was referred to as “500 channels and nothing to watch.” Whether you agreed with that or not, it reflected that there were many channels available, but the content quality was a far cry from what is available today over streaming. The competition in streaming with Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Apple, Warner Media, and others has created a vast array of on-demand content across many genres, making it hard to say there’s nothing to watch! In fact, sometimes it’s hard to decide because there is too much. One of the results of this is that many movies once destined for the theater end up premiering on a streaming service. For example, last holiday season HBO streamed the new Wonder Woman release the same day it hit the theaters.
Unlike the cable quality of the past, today’s streaming content is increasingly available in the highest audio and video quality, featuring Dolby Atmos audio and 4K HDR and Dolby Vision video. All of that is best enjoyed on large home theater screens and high-quality surround sound systems. If your system doesn’t support these formats, you may be missing out on the best home cinema experiences.
Home Theater from Minimal to Grand
Today's technology lets you enjoy a cinematic experience in practically any space. Want one in your bedroom? A large screen high-end OLED TV and soundbar or architectural speakers can give you a sleek, minimalistic theater that intrudes little on space but is high on enjoyment. Of course, in a dedicated theater room, you can go all out with a 150-inch plus screen, high-end processors and amplifiers, built-in speakers and subwoofers that rival the best freestanding ones, and cinema-style lounger seating. Whether your idea of home theater is a specific room or one that pulls double duty for gatherings and other entertainment, the latest audio and video technology coupled with great content will give you a cinematic experience far better than what was available just a few years ago.
Surround Music
Music is not something you typically enjoy at a commercial cinema, but you can take advantage of it at home as a bonus in your home theater. One of the newest trends in music streaming is surround, with services like Amazon Music and Tidal using immersive formats like Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Audio to remix popular music to leverage surround sound systems. If you once enjoyed music videos on MTV back in the day, you will love how this takes music videos to a different level. Even without the video, enjoying surround music in your theater will be like going to a concert – without the crowds or the high ticket prices!
