TV & Home Theatre

Lighting makes all the difference, especially in your relaxing home theatre. Best Buy has all the lighting necessities to create your perfect atmosphere.

If you've splurged on a 4K TV, there are two things that you need to know. One, congratulations! And two, you're going to need to kit it out with a few simple accessories to get the most from it.

  Sonos has been a leader in wireless modular home speaker systems that can deliver music throughout your home.  They have been the leader in this market because it is their singular focus. They have excellent products like the Sonos Play 1 and the Sonos PlayBar, which we reviewed earlier. But there are other excellent wireless systems, like Bose Soundtouch, that have entered this market. Sonos has recognized they need to continue innovating if they want to maintain its lead position, so they overhauled their app that controls their home wireless systems, making some major improvements that you can’t get anywhere else. 

          Dedicated sports fans spend a fair amount of time glued to their TVs, so Christmas is an ideal time to help make that experience even more enjoyable. If you are having a hard time coming up with some great gifts for the sports junkie in your house, here are some suggestions for you.

I don’t know what the weather is like where you live, but right now we are going through a pretty epic heat wave here on the west coast. Don’t get me wrong, I live for summer, but when it’s hot and humid like this I find that a number of my otherwise “normal” activities often take a backseat to more pressing issues, like searching out air conditioning and cold bodies of water. For example, blow drying and straightening my hair (not going to happen), cooking anything in the oven (it’s already a million degrees in my apartment), and sadly, romance (there’s no way we are cuddling). But believe it or not, you can actually amp up the summer romance with a movie night at home, regardless of how unbearably hot it is outside; all you need are a few essentials to improve your home theatre room and you’re set!

Do you enjoy the latest cinematic trend of 3D movies? Want to bring that experience into your home, but don’t know a lot about the technology? Well, sit back, grab some snacks and get ready, ‘cause we’re coming right at you with all you need to know about 3D TV.

Is there a Sonos speaker lover on your Christmas list? Why not give them something to trick out their Sonos speakers, like a stand, a wall mount or even a fun coloured skin? Check out functional and fun accessories from Flexson.

            What has been clear at CES 2015 is that 4K Ultra High Definition is going mainstream with all the brands. Everyone seems to be introducing more 4K sets than 1080p HD and are making 4K that much more affordable. Everyone always tries to out-do each other at CES, and Sharp’s one-upmanship is not based on another unique approach to 4K technology. Instead they want to leap-frog everyone else by bringing in 8K technology.

When the notice arrived for a rate increase, we were ready to say goodbye to cable. It took a bit of planning and introducing the ClearStream C1C short-range antenna and Tablo two-tuner over-the-air (OTA) DVR into the mix. But the cord’s been cut and we haven’t looked back since.

Need just the right TV for the big game? Whether it's soccer, hockey, or baseball, the right TV can make all the difference when you're having friends over.
