Then there were overhead projectors and rear screen projectors that started to come down in price. And now with flat screen digital and plasma screens, the price has come down to the point which is affordable in many places for the middle class.

Simply put, there are a lot of options from the esoteric to the simple. Breaking this down to a few subject areas, Audio: - Speakers, you're most probably going to be using more than 2 speakers in a home theater. How many? Well, from your stereo (got one of those, right?) you can pretty much pick out right and left sides with 2 speakers. Adding two more in the left back and right back will give you left front, left back, right front, and right back - which would be 4 speakers - along the lines of a quadraphonic system from way back... but back to the subject at hand. When watching a movie, for example, there's generally some action coming from the screen, otherwise why watch? This being the case, let's add a speaker above or below the screen, which brings us to 5 speakers, Front Left and Right, Front Center, and Rear Left and Rear Right. You might think that adding a subwoofer, or a low frequency speaker, would bring this setup to 6 speakers, but you would only be partially correct. Those in the know would refer to this as a 5.1 system, which really means 5 "regular" speakers, and one low frequency speaker. - Amplifiers - Surround procesing Video: - DVD players - HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer) - Video processing / scaling - Projectors - Screens - Plasma displays - LCD displays - Rear projection displays - CRT (tube) displays Room: - Dimensions - Sound attenuation - Seating
