How to Create the Best Home Cinema System

With a home cinema system, you’ll have everything you need for enjoying your favourite blockbusters and boxsets. You can enjoy cosy nights in as a family, or invite your friends over to watch the latest Netflix releases or sport matches on TV. It usually means watching content on a big screen using the latest home cinema technology. Typically, it will include a large TV or big screen projector, epic sound system and comfortable seating.

When it comes to the best TV for your home cinema, it’s got to be the spectacular QN900C Neo QLED 8K. Available in 65”, 75” and 85”, this incredible TV delivers images with jaw-dropping precision and punch. The incredible levels of brightness¹ showcase the full range of colours in today’s high dynamic range pictures thanks to the tightly packed pixels found in the 8K display. The AI-driven 8K upscaling can even convert 4K quality images to 8K, contributing to lifelike pictures that are reflective of those seen at the cinema. The stunning Infinity Screen brings you the world’s first edge-to-edge viewing experience, and since it’s nearly bezel-less nothing gets in the way.

It’s not just the picture quality that makes the QN900C Neo QLED stand out from the crowd; the uncompromising, best-in-class surround sound also takes your audio experience to a whole new level of immersion. Packed with twelve multi-directional speakers and Dolby Atmos technology you’ll hear the action happening all around you, just as the director intended. Pair it with the Q990C Q-Symphony Cinematic Dolby Atmox Soundbar and you’ve got a home cinema system that rivals the real thing.

If you’re looking for something slightly smaller for your home cinema system, we recommend the 65" S95C OLED 4K HDR Smart TV. Thanks to the combination of Quantum Dot and OLED technology, bright colours are rich and vibrant and pixel-perfect blacks appear in outstanding contrast next to the white pixels. The detail and clarity produced by the 4K OLED display means you can watch it from pretty much any angle, without the picture quality diminishing. With the addition of HDR, 144Hz³ and a variable refresh rate, this TV is perfect for enjoying all your entertainment.

For the best home cinema system opting for a sound system that plays detailed, realistic and precise audio around the whole room is a must. If you have a large cinema room, a full surround sound system such as the Q990C Q-Symphony Cinematic Dolby Atmos sound system is the perfect option. This awesome setup includes 22 speakers, Dolby Atmos and Q-Symphony technology, our most powerful subwoofer and two additional rear speakers. Samsung’s intelligent Q-Symphony technology syncs the soundbar and TV harmoniously to play sound simultaneously from both devices, creating authentic and immersive 3D sound from the comfort of your own home. There’s 11 front and surround channels, 1 subwoofer channel, and 4 up-firing channels, so you are completely absorbed by glorious 11.1.4ch surround sound wherever you’re sat.

There is no perfect size for a home cinema room, but it’s important to consider how you are going to use the space. Consider your cinema room's layout, taking into account factors such as screen size, viewing angles, the projection method, seat comfort, speaker placement, and acoustics. The room's size and shape will make a real difference to its success. Rectangular rooms with carpets make better cinema rooms than square rooms because they allow you more flexibility with seating positions and better acoustics.

Samsung TVs connect lots of different devices via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, reducing the need to run wires across your home cinema room. With Samsung SmartThings⁴, you can effortlessly make the connection with your home cinema speakers, so all you need to do is decide where to best place them in your cinema room. Typically, the soundbar and subwoofer is best situated under the TV while any rear speakers should be positioned in the back corners of the room or behind the seating area.

Once you have perfectly positioned your cinema seating, remove any unnecessary furniture that might obstruct or distort the sound and get yourself comfy. You can program your lights to dim, the surround sound system to turn on, and the projector screen to come alive, simply using SmartThings⁴ and your Samsung smartphone so all that’s left to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the entertainment!
