Turn Your Home Theater Installation Into The Ultimate Gaming Space
Beyond Passive Movie Watching, Learn What Technology You Need To Upgrade Your Play In A More Immersive Environment
As a gamer, you might be aware that video games have become a growing element of home entertainment across nearly all demographics of age and gender. The popularity of games, especially interactive online ‘streaming’ versions, replaces a good deal of the time a player would normally dedicate to a movie or binging on series.
A home theater installation enhances the experience of watching a movie; the room, sound, and screen work together to blur the line between reality and fantasy. Whether it is an online combat FPS or the epic story arcs of role-playing, the modern video game is designed to immerse you in its environment completely, much like a film. Combining the detailed action and interactivity with the all-encompassing sound and large screen video is a dream setup.

A Better Backbone
One of the most important factors to consider when looking to move your gaming experience into your home theater is the network that feeds it. Online games require a lot of data bandwidth, so much so that poorly laid out systems often get overwhelmed quickly.
Investing in enterprise-class hardware with hardwired Ethernet provides you with the most reliable and rugged connections. However, while wireless allows you the freedom to enjoy your media without being tied down to a single location, even the remarkable Wi-Fi 6 is prone to interference, lags, and buffering.
Greater Graphics
Video games are graphic intensive, producing highly detailed and fast-moving environments that can be challenging to many monitors. In addition, newer gaming consoles routinely output 4K and even 8K native images at a stunning 120Hz and up to 120 frames per second.
Clearly, any move from your current setup to the home theater space requires more than gaining a larger video screen. A television or projector that lacks the proper refresh rate results in motion blur or a ‘smearing’ of the image. In the same way that the TV you watch sports on must keep up with the live action, any screen you play on must have High Dynamic Range (HDR), so you don’t miss the ball or a charging enemy before it is too late.
Spectacular Sound
Video game designers work meticulously on the sound field you encounter while playing. The music and sounds are essential clues into where an opponent is shooting from or that the action is about to become more serious.
The audio component of your media room or theater envelops you in the environment in a way that headphones cannot match. The surround sound recreates and places the effects, dialog, and music in the space you expect them in real life. So, by breaking the fourth wall, you react faster, transition smoother, and score higher.
