I Tested the Best Soundbars to Create the Ultimate Home Theater Setup (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A soundbar is one of the smartest upgrades you can make for your entertainment room. The latest models sound loud, clear, and distinct, with realistic sound that is truly transportive—a thunderstorm sounds like rain from every direction, a sword fight reverberates with every clang. There are tons of options to choose from, but all of my top picks went through rigorous hands-on (and ears open) testing. I chose the best models in a few categories, including ones that are ideal for bass, small spac
These Home Theater Projectors Give the Cinema Some Tough Competition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I've seen some of the best movies and tested some of the best home projectors this year. Massively entertaining films like The Odyssey, Project Hail Mary, and Toy Story 5 have made 2026 a standout year for movies, and new home theater projectors like the Xgimi Titan Noir Max and the AWOL Vision Aetherion Max have upped the game in terms of beautiful, cinematic, color-accurate images at home.

Make Cord Clutter a Thing of the Past With This Powerful Wireless HDMI Streamer (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
Portable projectors offer flexibility and the freedom to watch Netflix anywhere and from any angle—including looking straight up at the ceiling from your bed. When I tried this setup using the small, battery-powered BenQ GV50—which the brand markets as a ceiling projector—it worked well. I can’t say the picture quality or even the sound were spectacular, but the projector is indeed capable of project-it-anywhere portability. Though the GV50 is a ceiling projector, it also works fine against a wa
Benq’s 4K Home Projector Is a Gamer’s Delight (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Home cinema projectors are all over the map in terms of price and performance. It’s often the case that you get what you pay for. High-end projectors that mimic what you see at the local cineplex can cost upwards of $6,000. On the lower end, you could easily pay less than $1,000 for a home projector, but you may sacrifice brightness, contrast, and color quality. Many of our favorite projectors sit somewhere in the middle in terms of price and quality. That is certainly true of the BenQ TK705STi
