The ongoing pandemic has turned many aspects of our lives upside down in the past few months. Families are working from home, schools are either remote or in a hybrid model, and a lot of entertainment is happening at home with large gatherings and public outings curtailed.

The pandemic won’t be with us forever, and lives will return to normal. But some trends that were happening long before this time have accelerated and will continue. One of those is the evolution of home entertainment. Recent closures of some cinemas due to pandemic effects have reduced the amount of new theatrical movies and content, with some going straight to video. Right now, a family or date night out at the movies is far more limited than it was less than a year ago.

Pandemic or otherwise, as home entertainment options continue to multiply, a home theater installation makes more sense than ever for your Smyrna, GA home. If you can't go out for a cinematic treat, why not bring it home with your own home theater? Here are three reasons to get you started.

Most everyone wants an immersive big-screen experience in their media room or home theater. The only issue? Not everyone has the space for a full-fledged theater installation. In some areas, mounting a projector in the ceiling or a back wall is not a practical solution.

You might ask - why not go with a large flat-screen display? Many people do, and there are many that Georgia Home Theater can recommend from brand partners like Sony. But, some people want that projected large screen experience without giving up space, and the truly large, over 100-inch flat panels can get very expensive.

There is a solution, and it’s called the ultra-short-throw projector. It’s a projector than can sit mere inches from your wall and project an image up to ten feet across diagonally. The best part is that it only requires a slim wall-mounted screen, and it sits on your typical media credenza or cabinet.

What’s more, the latest models feature the newest 4K and HDR technology for an eye-popping picture, and sometimes also include full smart TV functionality for an all-in-one solution with the convenience of a TV and the cinematic impact of a projector.

One of Georgia Home Theater’s favorite models in this category is the Epson LS500, and it may just be the answer for the media space in your Smyrna home. Read on to see if this is the easy big-screen home theater installation solution you’ve been waiting for.
