Whenever I’m tweaking and calibrating my home theater and music system well into the night I get stupid. The late night sessions always end with me thinking I’ve done the best I can and I’ve set everything correctly. The next morning and into subsequent viewing and listening sessions I retain the confidence in my skills and blame any oddities or failings of the system on bad software and limited hardware. On closer inspection I find that carefully coaxed dials and user menus have not retained their sweet spots.

Most people think that in order to have a home theater system you have to have a lot of money or know someone who installs them. This simply isn’t true. Home theater systems are becoming more popular in this day an age. However, being super rich or having a friend (who may or may not be an expert on electronics) tell you where to find the best deals is an unecessary risk. All you need is the basic knowledge of where to go.

One of the hottest topics in home entertainment is home theater. And one of the hottest topics in home theater is plasma TV.

Plasma TV for your home theater is actually only a receiver, much like your computer monitor, and is only one component of a great home theater. Still, it’s an arguable point that the plasma TV is the part of the home theater package that you’ll be viewing and is therefore a very important component.

Have you just bought a wonderful surround-sound home entertainment system but no decent home theater seating to sit on to watch the latest rented DVD? Do you always have to squeeze next to the cat and your daughter who likes to hog the old sofa like it was her bed whenever she watches anything on the screen?

Feeding your HDTV video system an actual HDTV signal makes a world of difference. I recently worked on the installation of a very high-end home theater system (six figure price tag on this job) and when the time came to test it, it was hard to watch anything but a true HDTV channel on the big 20 foot projection screen.

Widescreen TV, with a 16:9 width-to-height ratio, undoubtedly represents the future for home theater designs. However, this does not mean that you should rule out standard TVs with a 4:3 ratio. There are definitely good reasons to go for a 4:3 TV, or even projection screen if your home theater design calls for it. Let’s explore the issue.
