You might feel satisfied with your current gaming setup. After all, you hop on your gaming console every night and join your friends for a session of your favourite game, whether Fortnite, Apex Legends, Call of Duty, or something else.

However, one day you decide to branch out. There’s a new console exclusive you’ve been eyeing for a while, and you want to spend your weekend lounging on the sofa and playing it. The game’s called Elden Ring, and you’ve heard everyone leave rave reviews about it — online and offline. Critics have labelled it a visual spectacle, a sight for sore eyes. As you load up the game, you realise that you don’t see what the hype is about because surely your eyes wouldn’t lie to you. Suddenly, you realise it’s not your eyes but the gaming setup that’s letting you down.

You decide to create a home theatre setup for your gaming needs because that’s what you deserve. Well, creating a home theatre setup sounds like an excellent plan. But, executing it might be harder than you think. Doubt might also creep into your mind. After all, is a home theatre setup really necessary for gaming? There are people out there gaming on 19-inch monitors.

Don’t let doubts cloud your judgement. Ask any avid gamer, and they’ll tell you that a home theatre system absolutely elevates your gaming experience to a new level.

How a Home Theatre Elevates Your Gaming Experience

Here’s how a home theatre elevates your gaming experience:

Display

If you’ve got a high-end gaming PC or a new-generation console — PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X  you’ve already got the ingredients to play your favourite games in 4K UHD resolution. Your existing gaming setup is likely holding you back from enjoying your favourite games in vivid detail with surreal graphics. Pause momentarily and imagine yourself sitting in your home theatre, walking in the shoes of Arthur Morgan as your friend, Dutch rambles on about Tahiti. Or, imagine how good the latest God of War game will look as you run around with Kratos killing deities non-stop.

The right display can make your gaming experience more immersive. If you’re going with a home theatre setup, you’ll want to opt for a premium projector. It’s worth the investment. You can opt for 4K UHD projectors or a laser projector to enjoy your favourite game on screen sizes up to 500 inches.   

AV Installs has numerous Epson projectors you might want to consider. The EH-TW7000 supports 4K UHD images at a 16:9 aspect ratio. It’s powered by a 3000 lumens bulb and features a 40000:1 contrast ratio, making it the perfect low-cost 4K UHD projector for your gaming needs. Likewise, the EH-TW7100 improves upon the EH-TW7000’s performance. It has a 3000 lumens bulb and supports screen sizes up to 500 inches. However, more importantly, it has a significantly higher aspect ratio of 100000:1.  

If you’re looking for laser projectors, consider the Epson EB-L400U Laser Projector. This projector features a 4500 lumens bulb and supports full HD resolution at a 16:10 aspect ratio. Likewise, the Epson EB-L510U laser projector is also an excellent option. The EB-L510U features a 5000 lumens bulb, making it even more powerful than the EB-L400U model.

Audio

No gaming experience is complete without the right audio setup. After all, you want to hear your character’s footsteps as you sneak up on an enemy. Likewise, you don’t want assailants to get the drop on you.

Investing in in-ceiling speakers is the wisest decision you can make. The ATON A82C in-ceiling speaker and the ATON A62ST stereo Ceiling speaker are excellent options. Alternatively, you can also opt for Lithe Audio’s Passive speaker. It’s ideal as a standalone passive speaker or an add-on Bluetooth ceiling speaker.
