There are many upcoming film releases that people are excited to see. But one of the main debates with these new film releases… do we watch them in the cinema or create our home theatre?

Heading out to the cinema to watch these upcoming film releases seems like the most ideal idea to choose from. It is the idea where you will be with like-minded people who like the same films as you. There is nothing you need to do other than just turn up and pay. They have snacks for you, as well as the ability to watch the film on the biggest screen there is.

But, the truth is, heading out to the cinema to watch these new film releases is not always the best option. If you are a film fanatic, wanting to see every film there is, heading to the cinema can become expensive. With it costing roughly £10 per visit, seeing every film in the cinema will become costly. It may be more beneficial for you to create your own home theatre.

Whilst the initial cost of setting up a home theatre can be daunting with every item being fairly costly. It will be worth it in the long run. You will be able to watch the latest releases without needing to leave your home. You will be able to choose exactly when you want to watch them, without being restricted to the times the cinema is showing them. You can pay monthly for online streaming services that allow you to watch more than just films. Meaning as time passes, you will be getting more for your money than heading out to the cinema.

We will always recommend that if you are a film fanatic that you do invest in creating a home theatre where you are your friends can watch the latest film releases. Yes, heading out to the cinema for some will be fun and fine, but to save money you want to invest in a home theatre.

It is becoming increasingly popular among the population to create spare rooms in their homes into home theatres or a gaming paradise. Due to this trend, we are going to share with you some techniques on how to make your home theatre the best it can possibly be.

Screen Size
One of the most important factors within your home theatre will be the screen. Screen size is an important factor to consider. At the end of the day, the larger the screen the better the atmosphere is going to be. You may also with considering a projector as this can be displayed easily onto a plain white wall or pull-down screen stored above.

Comfort
To make your home theatre the best it can be, you need to have comfort at the front of your mind. Making your home theatre as comfortable as possible will help to make it the best it can be. Consider where you will be sitting, a large sofa is always the best option. As well as comfortable cushions and blankets especially for your home theatre.

Colour Scheme
When considering creating your spare room into a home theatre, the first aspect to consider is the colour scheme. The best colour to use within your home is the darker reds and greys. This is because it helps the white screen to stand out, making the picture clearer. However, if you are wanting to project your video straight onto the wall, this wall should be painted white, with the others being darker.

If you are planning to create your own home theatre, follow our simple suggestions to make this the best it can possibly be. Every spare room in any home has the potential to become an outstanding home theatre or gamer haven.

Now I don’t expect many of you can afford a set-up anywhere near what’s depicted in the picture, but an inexpensive home theatre set up will make a world of difference to your viewing experience. Whether that’s playing video games or watching the latest films, you can get a complete living room overhaul for less than £500, if you really want to.

Being immersed in your favourite shows or movies is an experience everyone can enjoy, from the elderly to the youngest of children. When you’ve come in from a hard week at work and you want nothing more than to sit back and enjoy a good film. There are thousands of DVD’s on offer to suit everyone, from horror to comedy and documentaries to music, but you just don’t get the full benefit of what they have to offer without a home theatre set up.

As I said earlier there are various options for those on a budget. A simple surround sound system can cost as little as £50 giving you that immersive feeling that you get at the cinema in your own home. Something like this costs less than £40 (1/9/11) and will give you quite a lot of bang for your buck.

So the sound is sorted, now for the visual. HDTV is the current technology that’s within most peoples budget. Amazon again come in with a respectable HDTV (1/9/2011) for less than £275. Some things to look out for when looking at HDTV’s most people go by screen size and nothing else, which is a pretty terrible way to decide on a TV that will more than likely be the centrepiece of their living room for years to come. Make sure that you take into account the contrast ratio, this is the difference between the whitest white and the blackest black that the screen can show. The higher the number the better. Also don’t forget that with technology progressing HDMI ports are becoming more and more common on devices, so make sure that your new TV has at the very least 2 ports. Sky and Virgin Media both have HD boxes that require HDMI ports as well as modern games consoles such as the xBox or PS3.

I personally dont think that a home cinema is complete without a PS3, it is one of the cheapest blu-ray players on the market allowing for a full HD experience without breaking the bank. The Playstation 3 is able to play the latest blu-ray’s with its ability to be updated to the latest blu-ray profiles, which are like updates for your computer, you can still use it but it won’t have all the new functionality of the newer blu-ray discs. If you do decide to choose a stand-alone player, then you will have to make sure that the profile is updatable otherwise the longevity of your player will be short lived as 12 months down the line you may be unable to take advantage of the new features available on blu-ray discs. The other added bonus of the Playstation’s media abilities is its DVD up-scaling function that will improve the video quality of your DVD’s to near HD standards so not only will your blu-ray’s play in fantastic HD quality, your old DVD’s will look a lot better too. Obviously it is first and foremost a games console that kids will love, especially with the new Playstation move that is available, meaning you can actually get physically involved in the game that you are playing, along with the HD graphics and the surround sound system, the experience is almost unparalleled. Sony have recently reduced the price of the PS3 to <£200, so, this means that you will still be just within your budget and now own a fantastic home theater system without breaking the bank.
