While you might think that cinemas are the best place to see your favourite films, you might be surprised to know that achieving the ultimate cinematic experience in the comfort of your own home is now easier than ever.
Make sure your equipment is up to scratch
Forget 4K, it’s all about OLED. So what is OLED TV? Put simply, the pixels on OLED, or Organic Light-Emitting Diode, televisions provide their own illumination while pixels on older LED TVs are lit by a backlight. This all means that OLED TVs provide perfect deep blacks, better contrast ratios, smooth motion and improved viewing angles – meaning you can spread your audience out across the living room without suffering any picture quality loss.
Get the best seat in the house
While OLED TVs may mean your family and friends can get great visuals from anywhere in the room, there’s still the question of who gets the best seat? Whether it’s a super long couch, reclining leather chair with foot rest, or even a bean bag, you’ll want top notch comfort to really enjoy your film moments in style.
Stock up on snacks
With all this talk of equipment and furniture, we may have forgotten possibly the most important thing of all home cinema experiences – the snacks! You might have a craving for salt popcorn, a multi-pack of chocolates or even a hot dog or bowl of nachos while you sit back to watch your favourite film of the moment, but whatever your choice is, you’ll be enjoying in the comfort of your own home.
Choose the right film
While most new releases will have 4K home release options, it might not always be the case for your classics. However, studios are working their way through their extensive back catalogues, so keep your eyes peeled as that film you grew up with may soon be available in 4K.
