As we are in the middle of the holiday shopping season and you are considering building a home theatre system, there are several elements to consider to get the best listening and viewing experience for your space. For instance, do you already have a streaming media device? Do you want a streaming media device built into your smart TV? Do you want a new smart TV? Are you interested in Dolby Atmos or a TV that has 4K or 8K? And if you already use a voice assistant, do you want a system that works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Samsung's SmartThings, or LG's ThinQ?

GearBrain can help you figure out everything you need to know about these devices and even how to put them together in our Connected Home Theatre Guide. We can also help you find the best deals for each of these connected home theatre devices so you can build the home setup that's right for you and your smart home.
