The Ultimate Home Theater System

Nicholas Ward
When I think of the best home theater system, what comes to mind are large speakers in every corner of the house, firmly planted near the ceiling on mounting clips, with wires running through the sheetrock to the central location where a massive 65" LED TV sits.

Best Home Theater System: My vision

A 5 disc DVD player/Stereo tuner eagerly waits for me to push play and enjoy the amazement that can be had. While a microphone lies upon the bottom shelf, cord tightly wound up, just waiting for a karaoke party to come along, and what great home theater system is without gaming?

Upon that bottom shelf lying next to the microphone is a PS3 the ultimate in gaming and Blu-ray entertainment, a value bundle of enjoyment. As I sit back in my chair and look upon the screen, I press the cold hard button on the center of my PS3 controller, and behold the picture comes up with a gray wave upon the background.

Selecting my profile I start to play a movie in HD as the walls shake and the floor trembles beneath my feet, the movie begins. Completely immersed I now lose sight of what is real and enter the veil of eternity in a world shrouded in mystery.

Samsung - UN65C8000 Home Theater LED Display

This 65" 3D capable display is the ultimate center piece for any home theater system.

Samsung UN65C6500 65-inch 120Hz 1080p LED Edge-Lit LCD HDTV

This 65" television is not 3D ready, but if 3D is still too much for you it's much cheaper than the one above. LED televisions are some of the longest lasting slimmest televisions available with the best picture quality.

Sharp LC65E77UM 65" LCD HDTV

If you can't afford those on your budget then be sure to check out this 65" LCD TV from Sharp it may not be as slim or have as wide of a viewing angle, but it still makes a great center piece.

Sharp LC60E77U 60" Flat LCD HDTV

Finally if your still a little short on your budget check out this 60" TV I know it's not quite the dream home theater system center piece you had in mind, but if you're in a pinch it will work.

Best Home Theater System suggestions: DVD players and surround sound.

Samsung HT-TZ422T Upconvert DVD/DivX Home Theater System

This home theater surround sound system and DVD player comes with everything you need to get started once you have your TV, and will convert DVDs to meet the 1080P specifications.

Samsung - HT-C550 5.1-Ch. DVD Home Theater System

This Home theater sound system looks amazing and has a lot of power as well, unfortunately it does not do up conversions.

This home theater surround sound system is slightly cheaper than the one above, and has all the same features with up conversio. These differences make it a great alternative for a budget minded person.

Best Home Theater System: Console gaming systems.

Xbox 360

I can't say that I would choose the 360 over the PS3, but if you can afford it why not get both? They are both great additions to any home theater system and high quality gaming devices. Using the Xbox 360 as a set top player you can watch internet videos on Netflix, check up on YouTube updates, and chat with your friends through Live.

Sony Play Station 3

The PS3 has an added feature which is great for a home theater system; the ability to play Blu-ray movies without buying additional hardware. This allows you to take full advantage of your home theater system, and even watch YouTube videos, and internet streams right from the PS3.
