Home theaters and media rooms have been around for a long time, and the technologies powering them have seen significant change. Video, audio, and control technologies have made significant improvements, and sometimes we forget how far they have come.

The home theater of a dozen years ago might be equipped with a Blu-ray player as a primary source of high-quality movie content. Today, while many still use this, it’s more popular to stream video in excellent quality from Netflix, Amazon Video, Vudu, and a host of other online services. In audio, surround sound was just beginning to go beyond the standard 5.1 surround setup with a front stage and two surround speakers. And with video, high definition 1080P was the standard resolution, just entering its growth phase as people replaced older standard definition TVs and projectors.

Fast forward to today, and we now have not only 4K but 8K resolution available, immersive Dolby Atmos audio, and supremely intuitive control systems. Let’s explore how you can update your media or home theater design in your Scottsdale, AZ, home to elevate your entertainment experience.
