As 4K movies become the norm, home theaters need upgrades to get the most out of these high-quality films. By upgrading elements of your home theater, you can enjoy a clearer picture, better sound, and recreate the movie theater experience.

Learn about specific upgrades to optimize for the 4K quality and see movies at their best available quality.

1. 4K Disc Players

When you want to watch 4K movies, running the movies by their disc is the best option. Discs feature the highest bit-rate and will offer the smoothest playback when watching movies. A 4K disc player will allow you to play the Ultra-HD content. As you wait for your home theater systems to get installed, you can begin building your 4K movie collection.

Along with the discs, many 4K disc players have streaming options built-in. You can connect to streaming platforms with 4K capabilities and watch the clear content. A 4K media player also requires a 4K HDMI cable which will provide the fastest video rate options. 

2. Direct Internet Connections

When you do stream 4K content on services rather than discs, you want to have the best speeds possible. Wiring a direct internet connection to your home theater will provide optimal speeds so you do need to worry about buffering or low-quality videos.

Many Blu-Ray and 4K media players offer direct connections with LAN cables so you do not have to worry about Wi-Fi speed. A home theater installation can include the connections and proper wiring to help improve your TV viewing.

3. Dolby Atmos Soundbars

Along with clear quality, good sound is essential for a 4K home theater. Many 4K movies include Dolby Atmos sound quality, which includes separate tracks for dialogue, sound effects, and music tracks. A sound bar offers a simple connection, does not require full wiring of your home theater, and can help you get the most out of 4K quality. This is especially true when watching action movies or movies focused on sound.

4. 4K UHD Televisions

The focal point of a 4K home theater is the 4K television. A 4K TV provides the highest quality, especially when the TV has UHD effects. The UHD will improve color contrast and showcase small details in the highest quality possible. 4K TVs is ideal for 4K cable boxes so you can watch live news and TV shows using 4K quality. A larger television size will make your home theater feel closer to a movie theater and provide an optimal viewing experience.

Implement all of these features to get the most out of 4K movies and TV shows. Contact home theater system services to learn more.
