2010 looks to be an exciting year for all home theatre lovers, so if you want to really take advantage of the high-tech releases you are about to experience this year you'd better make sure you have the correct antenna installation and everything you need to enjoy a blockbuster year.
Experts are predicting three major developments this year which will revolutionise the home theatre experience. With the success of the 3D movie Avatar still fresh in our minds, you can expect to see 3D television sooner than you think. It will be the same as going to the movies because you will have to wear special glasses to get the same effect. The technology will require a special television screen and 3-D discs which should be available via Blu-ray later this year. The only hitch is that you will need a special Blu-ray player as well as the standard player will not play 3-D discs.
Australia begins the crossover to digital transmissions this year, the first of which will occur in south-western New South Wales, with the rollout to be finalised in 2013. This means that you will need a digital receiver to continue receiving television broadcasts. There is plenty of time left yet so the rush is not on, but the countdown has certainly begun.
Cathode ray tubes have diminished in sales dramatically over the last year, which is no surprise, so you can expect to see them completely disappear from the retailer's shelves during 2010. With the arrival of super slim LED screens, the uptake of new technology is expected to be spectacular.
High-quality audio stereo Systems are still attracting enormous attention from consumers. This trend is bound to continue this year and now with the arrival of digital radio, many consumers are taking advantage of this to link up to high-quality audio systems to listen to radio again.
The take-up of digital radio has been slow to begin with, mainly because the pricing of digital radios is around $1500 for the top end systems. Now that receivers are more commonly packaged with CD players, the growth in digital radio will happen as a matter of course.
Internet connectivity will also integrate into home theatre systems to a greater extent in 2010, because the trend to accessing everything online is growing by the day. Disc players with huge hard drives storing up to the equivalent of 6000 CDs which network with your home computer means that home theatre systems will also be taken to a new level in this regard.
Last but not least you can expect to see more massive growth in iPod and iPhone applications and high-quality docking stations for both of these which will be integrated into high-quality home theatre systems.
All in all, it is exciting year ahead for all audiophiles and high-tech lovers. Best of all, you can expect more competition in the market which means that the prices will be driven down. Couple that with the effect of the rising Australian dollar and you will see imports at cheaper prices than many consumers had ever thought possible.
