Why down-sized living shouldn’t limit your home entertainment experience

The current state of TVs

Few of you would give up your televisions though – and why would you? The TV is the heart of home entertainment, providing constant access to your favourite shows, movies and sports. Streaming services like Netflix and Stan give you even more reasons to tune in, with instant access to ever-changing premium content. Space-wise, be thankful that the days of the cumbersome, box-like TV are long gone. TVs are becoming thinner by the year, allowing you to maximise screen size, without sacrificing valuable living room real estate. The advent of the slender screen has meant TV manufacturers cannot physically fit the necessary components of a quality speaker system into their TVs – resulting in brilliantly clear screen resolutions accompanied by tinny, lacklustre audio delivered by miniscule speakers. Not an ideal situation if you want to maximise your enjoyment. Think about it – if you’re watching a film, sound conveys a majority of detailed storyline (through character dialogue) and a huge degree of all-important emotion, particularly through its score. You would probably get the gist of Titanic if you watched it without sound, but would your heart truly swell without the full effect of Celine Dion’s ‘My Heart Will Go On’? Unlikely. But all is not lost – there is a solution to your TV audio problems.
