Firsts things first, we need to find the perfect spot, What perfect means is a 20 foot long by 13 feet wide old garage or, just an isolated room from the rest of the house. We don’t want to bother the rest of the family or perhaps neighbors.
Whether or not you’re a decorative person, an awesome system integration includes a cozy-style seatings.
Next thing is to furnish it with comfy loveseats or, sofa. For a higher budget aim for specific theatre seatings which has authentic features that will conceive a relaxing and chill viewing.

Now there is some characteristic that we consider important for a dark movie room:
- Calibrated colors to D6500K temperature.
2. Clear and clean image edges even with the sharpness feature turned down.
3. Deep black levels and very good contrast ratio
4. A good side viewing angles.
