    We used to have like eight to ten minutes of trailers. I could live with that. This just reinforces that my (quite nice) home theater setup is the best way to consume content. I recommend getting a projector if you have a good space for it. Changed watching movies for me forever.

      I used to install AV professionally (now on the design side) and while I am pro-home theater, I am anti-projector for home use for 99%+ of people.

      Home theaters all about the sound so I’m on board with that but unless you regularly get a dozen people together for a movie and NEED the size, an 85" display for the same price or less has a better picture, is quieter, doesn’t need to warm up, and is relocatable when you replace it.

        The audio quality is so good that, last night, when a phone rang on the right side of the movie, my partner turned her head. I didn’t point it out, but she reacted because it was pretty realistic. The sound is awesome because I’m an audio nerd.

          It’s the best upgrade you can do and a lot of people don’t realize it! Their experience with home audio is usually crappy TV speakers and $100 Walmart sound bars (hardly an improvement)

          I’ve “convinced” many friends to get speakers. Even a 2.0 setup will change your experience
