A home cinema does not need a dedicated room or a fortune, just the right pieces for the room you have. Answer the three questions below to see the best group, then read four short sections on building it within your budget.
What is your room like now?
What budget do you have in mind?
What would you most like to improve?
Start with the picture: projector or TV?
If you want a truly big picture and can darken the room, a projector delivers a size that a TV at the same price cannot. If the room is sunny or you watch during the day, a TV remains easier; in that case a TV box and better speakers are the best-value upgrades.
Build in stages to match your budget
Stage 1: a projector or TV box, projecting onto a white wall.
Stage 2: a soundbar or Bluetooth speaker for clear sound with bass.
Stage 3: a screen and mount for a flat picture and a steady projector.
Stage 4: ambient lights, cushions and a popcorn maker to complete the mood.
Measure the room before you buy
Write down three numbers: the width of the empty wall, the distance from where the projector will sit to the wall, and the distance from your seats to the wall. Projector listings usually state the throw distance for each picture size; compare them before ordering. Read more in how to set up a home cinema in a small room.
