Have you had a home theater in your Buckhead, GA, home for many years? If so, you might be thinking about updating it. Like any other part of a home, home cinemas can get dated, not only in decor and style but also in technology. Sometimes, the way you use a theater might change, too; today, it is a media entertainment hub for much more than movies. 

If you’re considering a home theater remodel, here are five ways to make it up-to-date for all your entertainment enjoyment. 

If you've ever gone to an IMAX theater, you know it's immersive. Whether it is the huge screen you seemingly sit in or the powerful audio soundtrack, it's an experience you don't soon forget.

Want to bring that same audio-video quality home? You can start with Sony 4K projectors. Sony’s IMAX-enhanced projectors bring a new dimension of dynamics to the visuals in your Buckhead, GA, home theater. Keep reading to learn more about IMAX Enhanced and what it can do for your home cinema experience.

As one of the world’s most recognizable consumer brands, Sony has a long and rich history of innovation. That innovation extended not only to the products but to the marketing campaigns themselves. In the 1980s, the company's catchphrase "It's a Sony" was the companion to their new logo and became a defining feature in their advertising. In that era, a Sony TV was cut above everything else on the market, and everybody wanted one. 

Sony has many more competitors now, and consumer audio and video equipment is a hotly contested market. However, Sony still manages to lead, innovate, and push the envelope in consumer and professional products. That leadership is still evident in the current Sony 4K projector line, making "It's a Sony" relevant today. Keep reading below to learn about three reasons Sony is still an outstanding choice for 4K projectors.

Home theaters should be considered multi-use entertainment spaces - more than simply a room for watching movies. Yes, they’re great for viewing your favorite films or a new release, but they are also perfect for watching sports on the big screen, gaming, binge-watching a series, and entertaining friends while watching events. 

Home theater design can run the gamut from sleek ultra-modern to a traditional movie palace. Regardless of the style, we have a few ideas that can help your home cinema be a more entertaining, comfortable, and fun space. While you can use various contractors to add these features, we suggest hiring a knowledgeable and experienced home theater company (like GHT Group) to put it all together in your Vinings, GA, home. Keep reading to learn more about our top recommendations. 

Once upon a time, the hearth (or fireplace) was the place where families gathered. In the 1950s, a new device became popular for doing the same, but it was far more entertaining than a fire – the TV. Some might lament the simplicity of days gone by, but there's no denying how important a communication and entertainment medium TV has become. 

We have some good news for gathering your family around the new hearth. Today’s outdoor TVs, like the Samsung Terrace TV, are an excellent way to spend time with family and friends and enjoy fresh air too. Samsung’s Terrace is particularly good at being a do-it-all entertainment hub for the outdoors. Keep reading below to see what the Samsung Terrace can bring to your Sandy Springs, GA home. 

Do you love DIY projects? So many people do, and everyone has their preferences and passions. For some, they're artistic; for others, mechanical, and for yet others, it might be technology and electronics. Do people DIY home theaters? Absolutely. Can it be fun? Yes, along with a few frustrations thrown in. Interestingly enough, home theaters will get you intimately involved in all the areas above, from the artistic to the electronic. 

But the real question is, should you DIY a home theater in your Roswell, GA home? That decision, of course, is yours. We will present some pros and cons for you to consider. Do we have an axe to grind here? We’ll give you a hint – the HT in GHT Group stands for home theater. We’ve been one of Atlanta’s top home theater companies for over 30 years, so we’re just a little biased. But only a little. Really.

Sony is a pioneer in consumer electronics, with a long list of inventions and technology firsts. While they have more competition today than ever from Korean and Chinese electronics giants, the company is still out in front, continuing to invest in research and development to make something more than me-too products. Sony's founder, Akio Morita, once said, "curiosity is the key to creativity;" the company is still driven by the curiosity to invent new things today.

As with all of their products, Sony brings their creativity, innovation, and design expertise to projectors. Sony launched the first 4K home projector in 2011 when 4K TVs were still nascent. Today the Sony 4K projector line is bigger and better than ever.

When it comes to projectors for your Dunwoody home theater or media room, Georgia Home Theater recommends Sony.  Read on to learn more about the special features of Sony projectors that make them the right choice for you.

Just when you thought it was safe to replace all your TVs with 4K models, along comes the next level in resolution – 8K. The truth is, the consumer electronics industry is always moving forward. Digital technology has hastened the pace of change in electronics, with ever more bits of information elevating the quality of audio and video entertainment.

Wherever there is innovation in consumer electronics, you will find Sony. The company has pioneered too many technologies to mention, and the fact that they own major content companies in music and movies underscores their deep understanding of audio and video content, from creation to what you hear and see on your equipment.

One of Sony’s latest innovations is in 8K televisions. You might ask, what can I do with that today? 8K content may be scarce at the moment, but Sony’s technological magic with video processing makes any content look better on their 8K TVs. We just installed one in our brand-new Crestron Experience center, and it’s a revelation.

When you think about home theater, your thoughts may turn to the big things that make it a home cinema experience. The screen, the projector, and the surround sound system provide the picture and sound that recreates the immersive experience.

The décor is important too. Whether your taste runs to recreating the classic décor of the Fox theater or to a modern and clean aesthetic, where the room transports you is an important part of the experience.

Then there are the little details that, when done well, just delight. Small details can also annoy if not done well. Do you have a car with poorly placed cupholders? Does a cup placed in one of them block your radio or HVAC control? That's an example of a detail that can irritate.

The same consideration can be given to home theater seating. Some of the big concerns are: Are the seats comfortable for a long movie? Does every position have a great view of the screen?

Then there are the small considerations. Where do I put my drink or snack? What if I need a little light in the dark? It is these small - but essential - aspects that we will cover in this short blog, and how home theater seating from Octane Seating makes the most of those considerations. Ready to review the little seating accessories that help make your Atlanta home theater the perfect entertainment space? Just keep reading.

Sony is a legendary name in TV and consumer electronics, with a long list of innovations spanning almost every important technology in audio and video. One of those firsts was the OLED TV, which Sony introduced to the world in 2007. OLED is the acronym for Organic Light Emitting Diode, and backlighting is the main difference between this and LED technology. LED panels need backlighting, and OLED is self-lighting. 

OLED technology is known for super-thin panels, superb color reproduction, and wonderfully inky dark black levels, one of the most challenging things to get right in a TV panel. Interestingly, though Sony pioneered OLED, they only introduced mass production of OLED TVs a few years ago. But when they did, they did it right. If you're looking for a Sony 4K TV for your Destin, FL, media room, you should be looking at Sony’s latest Bravia XRA95K flagship OLED TV. Keep reading below to learn why.

Want to know a little secret? There’s more to achieving great sound quality in a home theater than just having high-quality speakers, subwoofers, and electronics. Many DIY home theater buffs have experienced a “huh?” moment when they fired up their expensive sound systems and were less than overwhelmed with what they heard.

The truth is that room layout, furnishings, ceiling height, materials, and other factors all influence the sound in a home theater. Sometimes, despite the equipment, it’s fatiguing sibilance from higher frequencies or overwhelming bass in one corner with almost none in another. One of the ways that professional home theater designers overcome these aural issues is with acoustic treatment.

At GHT Group, we work with Vicoustic for easy-to-implement acoustic treatment solutions that help tame room audio ills. Keep reading below to learn how we get your Marietta, GA home theater to fulfill its full home cinema promise.

Teaming up with a professional integrator like GHT Group is essential for your theater installation. Bring a top-quality home entertainment space to your Atlanta, GA property with our team’s help.
