At home, as in life, there are things that are essential to have and there are things that are nice to have. Most people would put Home Theater in the nice to have category, but did you know that there are real health benefits of having a private cinema in your own home?
Movies stimulate the body and mind. Heartrate goes up and down due to the narrative direction of the movie. Big emotional moments produce peak physiological activity and strong emotional responses from the audience such as joy, laughter and tears. The act of watching a movie has been shown to elevate moods and relieve stress.
Three Essential Elements to Get The Most From Your Home Theater
What is essential to make your private home theater that special place? The willing suspension of disbelief. This is what happens when the experience is so good you have forgotten that you are watching a movie.
A Distraction Free Environment
What makes a private theater special? Watching a movie is both a focused activity and a shared social engagement. A distraction free environment away from the disturbances of the household helps the experience deliver long term benefits for focus, memory, productivity and overall brain functioning according to some.
Sound. Real, Accurate Sound
Sound is the stimulus we have been designed to be most sensitive to and impacted by. Sound affects us physically, emotionally, mentally and behaviorally. The hair-raising effect of a guttural growl in the dark or the nostalgic warmth felt after hearing that first love song of our youth exemplify this fact. The ideal private cinema will recreate the artistic intent of the film. High quality, multi-channel sound is achieved by using professionally designed and installed speakers, electronics, room acoustics and seating. No sound bar in the world can deliver anywhere close to the same impact as a purpose driven system.
Image Matters
Compared to a typical flat screen, the depth of color and purity of a higher-end projection TV is profound. Movies are created to be experienced in theatrical settings and scale, and at rigorous performance criteria. This is the experience you can have in your own private home theater with the right projection system, proper seating and professionally designed sight lines.
