Matching a new entertainment system with your home and lifestyle is more important than getting all of the latest technology and top-range models.
Before you even start researching at the latest and greatest plasma television or projector, have a good look at the spaces where you intend to install the television, speakers and other components. How much space do you have? Will they block out light or impede access from one room to another? The next step is to sit on the "tv couch" and figure out the most suitable screen size not just for yourself, but for other members of the household.
There is always a debate about the "right" size of a television screen. We've all seen someone we know get a television that's way too big, dwarfing everything else in the room. Trying to watch an oversized screen can be like sitting in the front row of a cinema, unable to see everything without constantly looking left and right, up and down. Other people prefer an oversized television for that immersive viewing experience.
Don't get too caught up in the debate over the technical merits of plasma, LCD and projector televisions, just focus on getting a television that suits your home, lifestyle and viewing patterns.
Remember that home theatre system is a selection of components working together, not just a television with some other bits attached to it. Getting a quality DVD player, AV receiver, speakers and cables will do wonders for your home theatre experience. In other words, don't spend all of you budget on the television itself, because that will force you to compromise on everything else.
Most commentators don't consider the furniture as part of the home theatre, but we recommend that you invest in quality seating to maximise your viewing experience. Getting the right TV stand or AV cabinet will help you get the television screen at the correct height. The right furniture will conceal the unsightly mess of cords, and give you somewhere to store all of those components, DVD boxes and video game equipment.
Finally, remember that televisions, DVD players and similar components all generate heat, so the area needs to be adequately ventilated to avoid "cooking" them slowly over time.
