The Kaleidescape Movie Player System Offers the Best Media Experience

These days, a huge amount of content is streamed. Even if you subscribe to cable services, many now offer the same programming as apps on popular streaming products like Roku, Apple TV, and smart TVs. So, you might be inclined to believe that you don’t need anything more than a smart TV or streaming platform to get all the content you need.

It's true; you likely don't need anything more than streaming and all the right subscriptions. But there are other options. There are physical media like Blu-ray discs for movies and high-quality series like HBO's Game of Thrones. For many enthusiasts, physical media offers the best quality video and a high-resolution audio experience. But many enthusiasts also don't want to collect physical discs anymore.

Regular screens use diffuse reflectors or reflectors that reflect incoming light in all directions uniformly. Most flat-panel televisions use diffuse reflectors, which is why when you watch them on a sunny day, you’ll see on the screen. Matte white screens are the perfect diffusers since white screens are designed to reflect light evenly across the display. In a dark room, projected pictures do not compete with ambient light. However, it is challenging to create a completely dark room when completing a media room installation.
