Movie nights are awesome for so many reasons! Primarily, it’s one of the best ways to connect with a group of people from a group of dear friends in a retirement community to a group of freshmen at a first hang-out. Plus all the food is certainly a bonus.
Organizing a movie night is relatively easy. Besides loading up on the best foods for a movie night, you’ll need the right equipment for things to go off without a hitch. So here are 4 necessary tech equipment when organizing a movie night event.
Projector
The centerpiece of almost every movie night event, a good quality projector often means the difference between a memorable experience and an underwhelming one fraught with choppy images.
What makes a good quality projector? You want a projector with a high resolution as a higher resolution means a clearer, more detailed viewing experience. Then, opt for one with a high lumens score, high contrast ratio, long distance throw, automatic keystone correction, and long lamp life as well.
Screen
Next, since you’ll project, you’ll need a special projection screen if a large blank white wall is not an option. As a special projection screen is designed to reflect light more efficiently than a regular surface, it means a brighter, clearer movie.
There are different types with some popular ones include:
- Fixed frame screens that are permanently mounted
- Electric screens that are operated with a button
- Lightweight portable screens
When deciding on a special protection screen, it’s important to factor in the size of your audience as well as the venue.
Sound System
What’s a movie experience with no sound? You don’t want a scenario where no one can make out the sounds in the movie or a case where some people can hear and others can; so invest in a high-quality sound system.
What makes a high-quality sound system? Look out for things like:
- Wide range frequency response – from deep bass to high treble
- Imaging ability for a clear sound stage
- Distortion-free audio
- Effective separation
For a great experience, opt for surround sound speakers and a subwoofer.
Streaming Device
A streaming device is a digital media player with which you get to access streaming content from the internet and with its range of movie options plus convenience, it’s one of your best options for streaming content at a movie night event.
When choosing a streaming device, you want to consider:
- The compatible streaming services and apps
- The maximum resolution and frame rate supported
- The functionality of the user interface
- It’s compatible with your devices
Hosting a movie night can be fun if everything is properly in place. So after you pick out snacks, opt for a good quality projector and special projection screen, surround sound system, and a streaming device that lets you access the kind of movies your audience wants as well.
