Correctly select equipment, create the desired lighting and put comfortable furniture - tell me how to provide all the nuances to enjoy your favorite films.
1 Selection of the player
Projector
If you want to fully recreate your atmosphere atmosphere, choose a good projector.What are the models?
- For work and studies: playback of presentations, video protection.
- For mass events: light shows, concerts.
- To use the house: Compact and not such powerful models that are enough for the projection of the film on the wall.
You need a third type. It is cheaper than others and has more modest characteristics, but it does not need to be attributed to its disadvantages.
Technical characteristics of a home projector
- The distance you want is to display video. In a small room, this is especially important, so be sure to measure the distance from the wall where you can locate the player.
- Brightness. It is measured in lumens and for a fully or partially darkened room you will have enough 800-1800 lm. If you want to watch the movie in the afternoon and do not delay the curtains - 2000-3000. All values are higher for large bright illuminated rooms and are not needed in a regular apartment.
- Resolution. This is the number of small pixels per unit area. Than them more, the better the picture. But remember that you lose the film on the wall or special canvas, therefore it is enough to 1280x800 or 1920x1080.
- Contrast. This parameter creates a color depth of the image. The optimal value is between 800: 1 and 1000: 1.
- Media player. If it is built into your player, you can watch movies using a flash drive.
- The ability to connect a phone or laptop.
Television
You can stay on the TV. To do this, choose a suitable screen for a comfortable viewing of the movie.Important characteristics when choosing
- Diagonal. More - it does not always mean better. To select the optimal size, measure the distance from the wall, where it will hang or stand the TV, to the sofa on which you will sit. Approximately the screen diagonal must be 3-4 times less than that distance. That is, you should not buy a huge screen in a very small room and vice versa.
- Resolution. Good permission is FHD - 1920x1080. It will be enough to watch the movies. There are models with a resolution of 3840x2160 with the resolution maximum available today. If the budget allows you to take it and watch movies 4K. At the same time, remember that such an amazing picture you will only receive if the video itself has this permission, and ordinary films and television programs will not look like it.
- Frequency. For regular video you need 60 Hz, if you plan to watch 3D - 120 Hz.
- The matrix. You have a choice between LED and AMOLED. The difference is that AMOLED can show a real black color, because at the right moment the pixel, which must be displayed black (for example, in the night scene in the film) is simply turned off. In this case, such a TV is inconvenient to look if the sun rays fall on it.
2 lighting
If you create a zone to watch a movie you are planning in a small room, it makes sense to hang on the window curtains blackout in addition to the already existing or instead of them. The fact is that any day lighting negatively affects both the movie from the TV screen and as an image from the projector. Plus, if you have such curtains, you may not spend money on the projector with a high brightness indicator - even 600-800 lm will be enough for you in complete darkness.
3 audio system
When you come to the cinema, you hear the surround sound. The columns are located near the screen, in the middle of the hall and in the back of it. To achieve such sound in a small room easier, in this its advantage. You have enough pair of columns from a TV or screen and more couples - the place where you will sit and watch the video.
4 furniture
You can throw soft puffs on the floor or put the chairs and sofa. The only important point in the choice of upholstered furniture is its back should end at the level of your shoulders. Otherwise, it will not be so good to reach the sound from the rear audio columns, and it will turn out that you put them in vain.
Also, if you purchased the projector, you will need a coffee table or a special box for him. You can, of course, hang it to the ceiling, but it does not always look aesthetically, especially in a small room. Plus, if the player is temporarily not needed, it can be removed into the closet.
If you want to hang the projector to the ceiling, this, of course, will save you from the wires on the floor, the noise of the cooling system and the light flow, which can distract from the film, but then you will have to bring cables to it. That is, planning such a solution is better before repairs in the room.
