Upgrading and enhancing your current viewing equipment for optimal viewing pleasure is every couch potato's dream, and now, it's easier than ever. The problem is where to begin. The ultimate point is enhancing your viewing pleasure. In the simplest sense of the word, a home theater system might mean nothing more than a larger television screen with a DVD player and a set of speakers. However, for the technophile, this could mean something quite different.

The television

This is where it all begins. Televisions have certainly come a long way since the days of analog tubes. Now you have your choice of upgrading your home theater system with a plasma screen television, liquid crystal display (LCD) television, and much, much more. New technology such as this offers better resolution, color, clarity, and sound.

You also have the choice of flat-screen and wall-mounted televisions to conserve floor space. And we haven't even begun to talk about size! Upgrading to a large size screen is must when considering a new home theater system. Your window of opportunity ranges from 27 inches to more than 50 inches, depending upon the space you have available, as well as your pocketbook.

HDTV

DVD players

For those special movie nights, you'll need a DVD player that is up to the task. DVD players range in price from $50 up to more than $1,000, so do a little research. Most experts say that high quality, dependable DVD players start at about $300, but ultimately, it's your choice, and your wallet.

Home theater sound systems

A home theater audio system is the perfect way to cap off your new home theater.  Nothing enhances your movie or television viewing like a home theater speaker system. Quality home speaker systems start at about $500 and work their way up from there. A combination of several woofers and tweeters can truly transform your home into the theater of your dreams.
