How To Convert Your Home Into A Movie Theater With An XGIMI Projector?

By XGIMI Tech - 2021-12

The inability to go to the movies due to the ongoing pandemic has encouraged many people to replicate the movie-theater experience right in their living rooms. The experience becomes more realistic when you gather your family and friends and watch a movie that you all like. You could also become creative and arrange for popcorn, soft drinks, soda, pretzels, and chips with dips. You then choose a movie that you and your guests would enjoy.

Now that you have chosen the movie to watch, how would you screen it? We suggest a projector that can project onto a screen or even a wall. The best movies to watch on a projector will leave an unforgettable experience for you and your guests when you watch your favorite movie on a screen much larger than a TV.

The Ideal Place To Project

Of course, depending on the number of guests you have invited and the movie you want to watch, you may want to choose an appropriate setting where you can accommodate all the guests comfortably and enjoy the movie uninhibited. The best movies to watch on a projector become even better when you choose the most appropriate setting. For instance, if you watch a movie such as ‘My Fair Lady,’ you would be better off watching indoors as you can catch the wit and satire of Professor Higgins coming through clearly without missing a single word. You could also feel the remarkable contrast between Eliza Doolittle’s diction and that of Professor Higgins.

To enjoy My Fair Lady to the max, you need a superior projector from the XGIMI range of super projectors. The XGIMI AURA is the perfect projector for you to screen movies meant for indoor viewing.

Setting Up for the Big Movie Night  

Now that you have three projectors to choose from depending on the type of movie you want to watch and the setting where you will watch, you need to prepare the setting for comfortable viewing.

Further, it would give you an opportunity to understand troubles that may crop up, and you can learn to troubleshoot. You should also shortlist suitable screen locations such as the walls of your living room or the dedicated home theater or any other place. You should also test the compatibility with various devices you possess and may want to use during the movie night screening. You can also consider using the best projector stand available to you to mount the projector to give you excellent viewing. 

Indoor Setting

Since you have already shortlisted screen locations, you can set up the equipment with the necessary peripherals in the most suitable setting to suit the guests you have invited. The choice would depend upon the number of guests you have invited and the availability of comfortable seating places.

Since you have already chosen a movie and the setting, you can power up the projector and begin the screening.

Outdoor Setting

Organizing an outdoor movie night is a little trickier than doing so indoors. However, if you have all the required paraphernalia such as chairs, mats, other seating elements such as sofas, beanbags and recliners, you can easily set up with the help of your family, friends, and their friends.

Preparing for an outdoor screening involves the following actions:
• Charging the portable projector
• Downloading the movie and storing it on a USB flash disk
• Setting up the screen at an appropriate place where interference from neighbors’ houses in terms of lighting is minimal
• Setting up the sound system if you are using external speakers
• Setting up the power source
• Dimming or switching off the external lights
• Starting the movie when everything is in place

With such a setting and the magic of an XGIMI projector, you and your guests are completely set to enjoy one of the best movies to watch on a projector.
