Home Theater Systems….what to look for in a entry level system to get the most bang for your buck. I’m the sort of guy that would rather spend my money once, and get close to the best, over buy something cheap to hold me over till I CAN buy the best. Personally, I think the differences between the “best” and maybe “third best” are nothing more than preferences of the reviewer. Let’s move on to what to look for in an entry level home theater system.
First, do you want to piece an entire home theater system together or buy a package deal that already has everything included. If you have a dedicated home theater room, and plenty of $$$$$, then buying select components is going to be the way to go. However, if you’re looking for something to simply enhance your audio / video pleasure, then let the experts do the work. Company’s like Sony, Bose, Polk Audio to name a few, have helped make the choice easier by designing what’s called “Home theater in a box” or “all in one”.
These all-in-one systems usually come complete with a stereo receiver, DVD (or Blu-Ray)player which also plays CD’s, and speakers to complete a 5.1 (this refers to how many channels and speakers / 5.1 means 6 channels – 5 full frequency and 1 Low Frequency Effects for heavy bass) surround sound experience.
The next choice you may be faced with is resolution, 1080i or 1080p. I won’t go into details here, I’ll state facts and my opinion.
Facts (1) the p resolution is better (2) High-def broadcasts are in 1080i or 720p.
My opinion (1) Only the discerning and very picky viewer will ever notice the difference. If there’s a slight price difference, and you can afford it, you may want to go ahead with the higher resolution. Of course to see this slight difference you’ll also need to purchase a composite or HDMI video cable which can be very expensive.
In summary, all-in-one home theater systems are ideal for family rooms, bedrooms, and dorms. They will deliver all the power you need for these smaller areas. and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the difference an all-in-one home theater system will make for your viewing and listening pleasure.
