SEEING INTO THE FUTURE
EDITOR’S PICK
You dont always need a television to view your most loved films. These days tech lovers are more inclined to link up a good projector with a portable hard drive or PC. Projectors may or may not always give you the crisp imagery an LCD can provide but the luxury of a huge screen might appeal to you. Adjustable image projection and a whole slew of convenient home theatre features make the JVC X55 an option for a great cinema-like evening. Check out this award winning projector at www.jvc.com for around RO1,540

First Class Being comfortable on movie night is almost as important as picture quality. There is nothing worse than shifting around during the entire film in search of a comfortable position. In terms of sofas and recliners, the choice is vast. I suggest nipping over to a home furniture store of your choice and trying every sofa and recliner out to find the ‘one’ for you. Sofaland on Amazon.com is my choice, or Home Centre here in Muscat has a great selection. Price depends on choice of style.
wired for sound What better way to enjoy the best in videos and movies than with 3D surround sound? Samsung’s Vertical Surround meets DTS processor to create real 3D audio that will make your living room feel like the inside of a cinema. With enhanced rich tones and less distortion, the Samsung Blu-ray Home Entertainment System is sure to take your viewing experience to the next level. www.reliantdirect.co.uk for RO 779
