A couple watches a TV screen in bed; a woman and a man are on the screen. Popcorn and shelves are visible.

For your own home cinema, you only need a few essentials: a good film, great company, maybe some popcorn or other tasty snacks, and of course a good television or projector. Discover which TVs and projectors are best suited to a home cinema.

Watch the World Cup in your home cinema

With a large TV or a powerful projector, you can create your own football theatre at home. The advantage of watching in your home cinema is that you won't miss a thing. It’s important, though, to choose the right viewing distance. TVs and projectors that are suitable for a home cinema come with at least 4K resolution, along with a range of picture and audio technologies. That way, it really feels as though your seat isn't in the living room, but in the stadium.

The best TVs and projectors for your home cinema

A bright living room features a large television with abstract blue art, a round table and soft sunlight.

For the best home cinema experience, choose a TV or projector with a high resolution, such as 4K, for sharp images.
