"The computer technician, Tammy, was excellent. He arrived on time and was very personable. Our computer is several years old and has been running slow, so he cleaned it up for us. He tried to show us how to perform some maintenance tasks on our own. After he was finished, he had to call in to the main Geek Choice number to settle the bill. When I spoke with the person on the phone from Geek Choice, I was astonished when they told me the bill was for $300, which included 2.5 hours service at $100 per hour and a $50 fee for home visit. I informed her that I had ordered the first hour through Angie's List for $75 and that the home visit fee was waived. She retrieved my information and charged me a balance of $135, to include the reduced hourly fee of $90 per hour. So Angie's List saved me almost $100, which I totally appreciate. I give the technician high marks but the company, Geek Choice, seems like just another corporation trying to make more money off the consumer than they should. I'm glad I went through Angie's List. "
"Anthony showed up on time prepared to take my existing system down and replace it with my new media cabinet with a faux fireplace. Very professional pleasant and knowledgeable. They did a great job. He came back the next day with a new TV and installed it beautifully. No wires mounted on the wall. Also installed my existing TV on the wall in the bedroom. I will definitely refer to AVA for any future audio video needs."

Stereo and Home Theater Systems questions, answered by experts
The standard home theater screen size is 100 inches to 120 inches for a full home theater room, but the ideal size TV to buy depends on a few factors. For example, a screen that’s less than 120 inches may be better in a room with less space and where seating is positioned more closely to the screen. If your seating is close to the screen, a smaller screen is better, in the 60- to 70-inch range. This is common for smaller basement conversions to home theater rooms.
For movies, television, and games that feature surround sound output, no other setup than true 5.1 or 7.1 surround is capable of matching the fidelity and presence they offer. If, however, music is your audio priority—or you tend to favor older movies and broadcast television that’s unlikely to include surround sound output—you might be better off putting your money toward two high-quality speakers designed to reproduce stereo sound.
You can customize your home theater to include a wide range of features, but the minimum components include a wall-mounted TV, sound system, and comfortable seating. The cost will vary depending on the components you choose. Some of the most common elements and their costs include:
Home theater screen: $250–$1,500
Low-end front projector: $1,500
High-end front projector: $10,000–$60,000
4K 50” to 60” TV: $800–$1,500
Wiring and circuit board: $400–$2,700
60-inch TV and bracket: $900
Five box speakers and subwoofer: $500
Three HDMI cables: $30
Amplifier: $250
Universal remote: $20–$200
Surge protection: $25 and up
Installing a new home theater or upgrading your current one will likely add value to your home, as many prospective buyers will consider it an exciting bonus feature. However, the value of a home theater is subjective and depends on the buyer, so there’s no guarantee that it’ll increase your home sale value. Keep in mind that home theaters typically have a return on investment rate of about 65%.
Avoid using a home equity loan for non-essential or short-term expenses like vacations, luxury purchases, or temporary financial fixes. It’s best to reserve home equity loans for long-term investments, such as home improvements, that can add value to your property or financial position.
