What are some top considerations for home theater screen size? Here are several to keep in mind while making this decision. 

<p>In <a href="https://www.avi-utah.com/blog/home-theater-screen-size" title="Home Theater Screen Size Part 1" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">part one</span></a> of this two-part blog series, we looked at some basic factors that often play a role in deciding on the size of a home theater screen. There are a wide range of common home theater screen sizes, plus many custom options available, and there might be a few different variables that factor into your decision if you're installing a new home theater.</p>
<p>At AVI Systems, we're proud to offer a variety of home automation and entertainment products and services to clients around Salt Lake City and Draper, including comprehensive <a href="https://www.avi-utah.com/residential-solutions/home-theater-media-rooms" title="Home Theater &amp; Media Room Solutions" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">home theater and media room solutions</span></a>. Today's part two of our series will look at some additional variables that may impact your decision on home theater screen size.</p>
<h2>Angle Considerations</h2>
<p><img alt="Home theater with seating arranged at an angle around the screen" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/prosource_member_blogs/VAUD23/VAUD23_Home-Theater-Screen-Size-Considerations_1.jpg" title="VAUD23_Home-Theater-Screen-Size-Considerations_1.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>While we went over things like viewing distance and room size in part one, another factor to consider is the angle of your seating. This is an important consideration because you want all viewers in the room to have a good viewing experience, and you don't want those who are seated at an angle to have their view obstructed by seats or other furniture.</p>
<p>You may need to go with a larger screen size if there's going to be any kind of seating at an angle in the home theater space. This is because a larger screen ensures that everyone can see most or all of the image from any position in the room, no matter how far away they are sitting or what angle their line of sight is coming from.</p>
<h2>Lighting/Ambient Lighting</h2>
<p><img alt="Home theater room with lots of ambient lighting" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/prosource_member_blogs/VAUD23/VAUD23_Home-Theater-Screen-Size-Considerations_2.jpg" title="VAUD23_Home-Theater-Screen-Size-Considerations_2.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>Ambient lighting and other types of lighting can also be a factor in deciding on screen size. If you're placing the home theater in a room with windows and other sources of natural light, it could make sense to go with a larger screen so that it can be easily seen even when there's direct sunlight coming into the room.</p>
<p>Likewise, ambient lighting may also play an important role. A darker environment often requires a larger screen size, as the image needs to be bright enough to compete with the darkness of the room. If your home theater is going to be in a room with lots of light and windows, you may want to go bigger if possible.</p>
<h2>Aspect Ratio and Resolution</h2>

<p>Finally, a couple technical elements to consider when it comes to deciding on a screen size for your home theater are aspect ratio and resolution. Different formats require different types of screens, so you'll want to make sure you choose the right size for the type of content you plan on watching.</p>
<p>If you're planning on watching movies from different sources, such as Netflix or Blu-ray discs, you may want to opt for a larger screen size so that you can enjoy all of the extra details and nuances of the movie. The same goes for TV shows, video games, and other content sources; bigger is often better when it comes to enjoying the full picture of what's being watched.</p>
<p>When it comes down to it, deciding on a home theater screen size is often an individualized process. Taking into account a few factors, such as the size of your room, viewing distance, angle of seating, lighting, aspect ratio, and resolution, can all help you make the best decision for your specific needs.</p>

Home Theater Screen Size: Angle, Lighting, Resolution

<p>There are several forms of home automation that you may be considering for your space, and one of the single most common here is lighting control. Intelligent lighting allows you to control everything from simple presets to themes that match a mood or activity, and they can be applied to any lights in your home.</p>
<p>At AVI Systems, <a href="https://www.avi-utah.com/residential-solutions/lighting-control" title="Lighting" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">lighting control</span></a> is just one of numerous home automation solutions we're proud to offer clients across Utah. And while such lighting controls can be applied to virtually any part of the home, there are certain rooms and areas where it's naturally most common. In this two-part blog series, let's run through these common rooms and some of the simple tips we often provide to clients on how to consider automated lighting within each of them.</p>
<h2>Bedroom Lighting</h2>
<p><img alt="Bedroom with color changing lights and other automated lighting" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/prosource_member_blogs/VAUD23/VAUD23_Lighting-Control-Rooms-Part-Two_1.jpg" title="VAUD23_Lighting-Control-Rooms-Part-Two_1.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>One of the first rooms you may wish to consider is your bedroom. Automated lighting controls can be used to create a stunning ambience for both relaxation and activity, giving you greater control over how you use the space.</p>
<p>It's often wise to consider using several layers of strong, bright lighting for those occasions when clarity and visibility are paramount - such as getting dressed. But such lighting can also be dimmed or even turned off when you want to sleep, with soft, warm light used to create a more intimate atmosphere.</p>
<p>Another important thing to consider is the effects of different lighting in different areas of the room. This could be anything from a lamp near your bed to a specific spot for reading or working.</p>
<h2>Living Room Lighting</h2>
<p><img alt="Living room with colored back panel and automated lighting control" src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/prosource_member_blogs/VAUD23/VAUD23_Lighting-Control-Rooms-Part-Two_2.jpg" title="VAUD23_Lighting-Control-Rooms-Part-Two_2.jpg" width="700" /></p>
<p>In the living room, you'll want to create an atmosphere that works for both relaxation and entertainment. Automated lighting controls can provide you with greater flexibility when it comes to setting the mood for different activities, whether you're hosting a dinner party or watching a movie.</p>
<p>It might be wise to consider using separate dimmers for distinct areas of your living room, as this allows you to control the levels of lighting in each area. In addition, you could look into incorporating colored lighting around the room, which can be used to create a unique ambience and make the space feel more inviting.</p>
<p>Finally, consider the use of task lighting for tasks such as reading. This type of light should be bright enough that it doesn't strain your eyes but also dimmable so you can easily adjust the brightness when necessary.</p>
<p>In part two of our series, we'll go over other common rooms where automated lighting controls are often utilized.
