Remember when movie nights were prime family bonding time? The family would get together for a luxury TV experience with bowls of popcorn and soda.
So whether you’re looking to bring back an old family tradition or start a new one, modern luxury TV sets make for a truly theater-like experience in your home. Here we’ll review some of the best luxury TVs and gadgets that are sure to make your movie night with friends and family a success.
Choose a Luxury TV That Gives You a Theater Experience
A large flat-screen TV is ideal for displaying movies in a living room theater. It will be brighter than a projector or screen setup and doesn’t make the wall look like a blank billboard when it’s not in use.
Key considerations for purchasing a luxury TV include:
- Image technology (OLED & QLED)
- Size
- Viewing distance
- Screen resolution
One option is the Samsung Q90T QLED, which is designed to minimize glare and enhance vibrant colors, allowing you to watch your favorite movies from any angle. It also features a Quantum processor that upgrades old content to 4K.
Meanwhile, the Sony X80J 4K HDR LED is a great option if you want to upgrade your living room tech while staying on budget. It delivers high-quality 4K content with lifelike colors. Plus, it has three HDMI ports for your other devices like gaming systems or DVD players.
Enjoy Great Sound for an Immersive Experience
Luxury TVs may have evolved over the past few decades, but their sound quality is still not great. But adding a sound system can provide better sound quality for a more immersive experience. You should be aware, though, that some sound systems cost as much as a new TV.
If you’re looking for a simple setup, the Samsung HW-Q900A offers a subwoofer and soundbar that can play immersive sound formats like DTS:X and Dolby Atmos.
It also offers a variety of connections, including:
- HDMI ARC connection
- Two HDMI ports
- Wireless audio streaming
- Built-in Alexa Amazon voice control
This setup incorporates upward- and side-filling speakers that project sound up and out to fill the room, as well as an eight-inch subwoofer that delivers plenty of bass.
For more of a splurge, consider the Bang & Olufsen Beosound Stage Soundbar. This is a versatile and beautiful soundbar with 50-watt amplifiers in each of the 11 drivers, which results in theater-like sound.
Moreover, you can control it from afar with a remote or manually by using the side buttons.
Enhance the Ambience With Proper Lighting
Lighting is one of the simplest and most affordable ways to enhance the ambiance of your luxury TV movie night and protect you against eye strain. This is because the proper lighting helps increase image depth, ensuring clearer and sharper pictures.
The Govee RGB LED Backlight, designed for larger TVs of 46-60 inches, will enhance the light around your television and reduce eye fatigue. The backlight comes from four strips and both sides are connected via a flexible cable, making installation easy.
Meanwhile, the Neo Sync Box and Light Strip Kit from Lytmi has everything you need to add dynamic lighting to your luxury TV. The kit comes with a strip light, which you attach to the back of the TV (which you can cut to the length you need), as well as their Neo Sync Box. The box syncs the movement and colors on the TV with the strip light for a truly immersive cinema experience.
Introduce Convenience With a Remote That Controls All Devices
The ability to control everything from one device is quite helpful on family movie nights. And the right universal remote consolidates everything, so you don’t have to press too many buttons to select a movie on Netflix, for example.
One option if you’re looking for a universal remote for your new luxury TV is the SofaBaton U1 Universal Remote. This universal remote can control up to 15 devices and supports Bluetooth control.
Additionally, it boasts an intuitive button layout and an OLED screen, making it easy to choose between devices.
Take Your Movie Night Outside With a Projector
Gathering the family to watch a movie under the stars is the perfect way to spend a summer night. So, consider a portable projector if you want to bring your luxury TV experience outside.
There aren’t many projectors marketed exclusively for outdoor use, but there are plenty that fit the bill. However, you have to consider a few factors to find the right projector for your needs such as:
- Brightness
- Size of the space
- Sound
- Throw distance
If you’re looking into a projector, consider the Q6 from DB Power. It features 8,000 lumens of brightness but it’s actually recommended for low-light situations, which is perfect for your outdoor movie night.
It also comes with built-in speakers and a silent cooling system so you hear the movie, not the fan. Additionally, it has tons of extra ports to connect phones, USB sticks, tablets, video game systems, and much more.
The projector’s strong reviews cite the clear picture, ease of setup, and price as reasons for the high ratings.
