"Before discussing models, pixel pitch, or dimensions, it’s essential to understand how the space will actually be used, advises Steve Elliston of Elliston Systems & Design.

"In commercial cinema, a reference SPL has long been established and consistently applied to match post-production to intended playback levels in exhibition cinemas. But in private entertainment spaces there's far greater variability in the range and type of source media, type and size of rooms, scope and capability of audio systems, and perception of loudness."

"The tech may be great, but what’s going to sell your clients is content. Fortunately, they can enjoy an increasing number of events in 4K HDR, such as regular season NCAA football and men’s basketball games, NFL Thanksgiving Day and playoff games, NASCAR, and MLB playoffs from FOX (including Fox One and the FOX Sports app). NBC chips in with NCAA football, Premier League soccer, Ryder Cup golf, and (expected but not yet officially announced) Super Bowl LX. ESPN provides a key NCAA football matchup each week, plus select College Football Playoff games, including the National Championship."

Live sports in 4K HDR and Dolby Atmos can get clients excited about a high-end home theater or media lounge.
