"My second appointment with Geek Choice in March went well. The phone call from the office to determine what I wanted to accomplish at the visit is a great idea. I would say that here is where Geek Choice can look for complications. For example, someone who's used a computer at work and at home may still be unaware of some basic ideas. For example, if a device is to be added, does it need to be charged, does the person have the correct cable or battery, etc. Young people know this; older people do not necessarily.
The representative was courteous, knowledgeable, patient, and offered additional tips. He arrived within the time frame specified.
I will contact Geek Choice again.

"No complaints. The Technician was professional and completed the tasks in a professional manner. I used an Angies list coupon for one of the jobs and it was a fair price. The other TV was a little more. I used the Angies list service because I wanted to support local business people. I was surprised to find out the Tech was an independent contractor provided by a California company. A month or so later I needed another TV mounted. In addition to Hellotech I looked into another internet company that begins with "A" that provides local contractors for home repairs. The other service was quite a bit cheaper ($118) and the repair work was comparable. If I can't avoid national internet companies I might as well go for the cheapest."

Stereo and Home Theater Systems questions, answered by experts

No, a soundbar is not the same as a true surround sound system. A soundbar is a system with multiple directional speakers that imitates surround sound but does not fully replicate its fidelity and dynamic range. High-end soundbar packages may include a subwoofer and additional speakers to achieve 360-degree sound, making the audio experience closer to true surround sound. However, it will still provide a slightly different audio effect than a dedicated surround sound installation in a home theater.

While a DIY installation is possible for basic setups, professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal results. A professional can guarantee proper speaker placement for the best sound, ensure visuals are calibrated correctly, and manage wiring to be hidden, organized, and free from interference.

Built-in entertainment centers cost an average of $9,000, which includes full-wall shelving, storage, and a TV mount. While most homeowners pay around this price, you can expect to pay between $5,000 and $15,000, with high-end entertainment centers reaching upwards of $30,000. Built-in entertainment centers offer the same kind of shelving as built-in bookshelves, with additional considerations for television and related storage.

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 with a wide range of features, but the minimum components include a display (like a TV or projector), a sound system, and comfortable seating. Your total cost will vary depending on the components, brands, and features you choose. Common elements and their approximate costs include: 4K 50-inch to 60-inch TV: $800–$1,500; 60-inch TV and bracket: $900; Amplifier: $250; Five box speakers and subwoofer: $500; High-end front projector: $10,000–$60,000; Home theater screen: $250–$1,500; Low-end front projector: $1,500; Surge protection: $25 and up; Three HDMI cables: $30; Universal remote: $20–$200; Wiring and circuit board: $400–$2,700.
