With the rise in popularity of streaming media entertainment services, more people are skipping the box office for the home theater experience. A flat screen TV is an obvious essential, but with TV sales happening at almost every electronics store all year long, it can be difficult to determine which one is right for you. Here are just a few factors to consider to narrow down the selection for your home theater.

Screen Size

If you are really looking for that movie theater experience in your home, getting a screen that is at least 50 inches is a good idea. This can either sit on a TV stand or be mounted to the wall for a more cinematic atmosphere. According to numerous TV sales studies, the best times of the year to get a great deal on a big flat screen are on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and a few weeks before the Super Bowl. Waiting to buy your TV until one of these key times can save you up to 30% off the purchase price.

Resolution

One of the reasons people go to the movies is to see fantasy come to life. If your screen has a poor resolution, it may not be any different than watching a movie with Wi-Fi service on regular electronics. Full HD resolution is 1080p (pixels), but one of the newest innovations in TV technology is the 4K Ultra HD, which has four times the resolution of your average HD. These TVs can also enhance regular high-definition shows and movies for an even clearer image.

Lighting

Did you know the lighting in your home theater can have a huge impact on what kind of TV you buy? If you have a normal or brightly lit room, LED screens are recommended. If you have a darker room that is similar to an actual movie theater, Plasma or OLED screens are the best. Talk to an electronics service expert about the lighting in your home theater to see which option is the best fit for you.
