Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does a custom home theater installation work?

    A custom home theater installation begins with room assessment and equipment selection, followed by projector or screen mounting, surround sound wiring, and seating arrangement. Installation includes calibrating 4K projectors, integrating audio systems like Dolby Atmos, and concealing cables for a clean finish. At The AV Group, we tailor each theater to your space and entertainment preferences.
  • What's the difference between a 65-inch TV and a 120-inch projection system?

    A 65-inch TV offers bright, sharp visuals ideal for smaller rooms with ambient light, while a 120-inch projection system delivers an immersive, cinema-scale experience best suited for dedicated theater spaces with controlled lighting. Projection systems require more space and careful calibration. The AV Group helps Houston homeowners choose based on room size and viewing goals.
