Flipping through the channels, you stumble across a nature show discussing tank beetles. You glare into the beetle’s black armor and notice how slowly it trots across the ground, crushing the grass underneath its twig-like legs. As you watch the show, you notice how different your viewing experience would be with an added surround-sound system, an HD-capable television set, home theater seats and a new television stand. The HD-ready cable box would enhance the once invisible water droplets seen on the ground, while the surround-sound system would make it possible to hear the cracking of the twigs as the beetle moves.
For the television viewer who wants the most out of his viewing experience, here are a few technology and furniture items you may want to consider purchasing:
1. In order to see HD quality shows, you will need an HD-capable cable or satellite box. Remember, most cable or satellite providers sell you a “standard-definition” box that do not provide HD programming. When you order a cable or satellite box, you need an “HD-capable” box that broadcasts high-definition channels.
2. You may own an HD-capable television that provides 1080p resolutions, but if you don’t own audio and visual cables capable of retransmitting those resolutions, you may not be getting the best image possible. Designed for reproducing high-definition images and sounds, HDMI cables are the best audio and visual cables on the market. Those standard red, white and yellow A/V cables are okay for broadcasting standard images, but cannot reproduce the crisp sounds and quality images HD-capable televisions are meant to produce.
3. The speakers built within your television set may work great for hearing most sounds, but do not broadcast the small sounds that add details to a show or movie. A surround-sound setup is designed to capture all the sounds television and movie producers wanted you to hear, enhancing the audio effects of your favorite movies and television shows that will allow you to hear even the smallest of sounds.
4. Every person wants to watch his or her television or movie in comfort. Most seating arrangements are not ideal or spacious enough to provide the perfect movie or television watching experience. However, with custom-built home theater chairs in your living room, you can select the color, seating arrangements, seating style and type of cushioning your chair comes with. Home theater seats enhance your viewing experience by providing a seating arrangement that most sofas are not built to replicate.
5. However, all this added technology would be useless if you could not see the television set itself. A television stand is as important as the theater seats, HDMI cable and HD satellite or cable box because the stand provides an elevated area for your television to rest on. More importantly, some stands allow you to adjust your television to either move left, right, up or down in order to accommodate whatever type of room your television is placed in.
