Thread: Guide: Building a Home Theater

I have tried to put a few things together. This is really a vast subject and I cannot really do it justice in 4/5 pages. But hope that it is useful anyway.

Please do comment.

Not a single download???

1st I need to build a house....
then theater..........

Plan the two together. That is the best way.

nice one just4kix, i will plan to get this after about 6-8 months coz can not even think to get it at the moment, need to stay satisfied with my present AV Setup, which don't have projector but yes sound is good

Projector is optional. Also projector is not feasible at most homes. It requires a special room and darkening (especially during day time).

But a good 40" Widescreen TV is good enough. Plasma is better for cinema (because of high contrast and black level) but LCD is more versatile.

However, to enjoy movies like Ben Hur or Lawrence of Arabia, a projection cannot be beaten. Still I will not recommend a projector to everyone.

Amen to that RameshJee

With the current trend I don't see it happening for sometime

Sweet post ... small + informative + accurate + inspiring.

makes me want to go and make my bed room into a Home theater.
Just purchased a 22" Samsung LCD "TV" which also doubles up as a Monitor.
The resolution is 1680*1050 ...... its super cool ... (and its less expensive than u think ...about 15000/- INR)
Its HD ready and comes with HDMI too ...

Its perfect for all those bedrooms ..which needs both a Monitor and a 'small' TV but there is space only for one...

Unfortunately not many ppl know about this option...even Computer resellers.

The reason i am posting this info in this thread is one can consider it for an relatively inexpensive 'mini' home theater in one's room.

good article....
i have(but not with me...my parents have then in ruwais :crying::crying::crying::crying: )
LCD : LG 32 inch
DVD PLAYER : SAMSUNG
AV RECIVER : DENON 6.1
SPEAKERS : BOSE ACUSTOMOSS 6 5.1

Shadow had not been online in IBB for quite sometime, and possibly just about the days he went offline, he might have given you a repo. That could be the reason why he's not able to repo you.

yeah when i was active ... about a month back .... i use to repo everybody like crazy (for legit articles/tips/posts etc)...... and then i stopped forum-ing for a long while ....... and now i am only semi-active .... logging in for a few minutes ..... that may be the reason why i cannot repo any of the old members (ppl who were around when i came here first).... like navgemi , Admin , Rameshji , Starrynight a.k.a Punch Suckr , Manish , Preeti, itsmemad ,Pingu mod etc etc

@Shadow, do you not know the "repo obscure members" trick?

Are you that desperate for a Rep

No. I am not. I have enough reps. But if someone wants to repo me and can't, then I can't let the opportunity pass. Can I?
