The pandemic has profoundly changed the way millions of people spend much of their free time. Even those who love outdoor activities, playing sports or simply going to the cinema have had to give up (partially or totally) all outdoor activities or reinvent them in order to adapt them to an indoor environment.
If fitness lovers have made sure to organize real miniature gyms at home or have given themselves to bodyweight training due to lack of equipment, lovers of cinema and television series have given themselves to a practice that is the quintessence of modern times: binge watching.
Spending entire evenings on the couch watching hours and hours of television series, however, can be uncomfortable and harmful to health. So here are some tips to set up the ideal environment for the long Netflix and Chill evenings.
From the bedroom to the living room: for comfortable binge watching
For many people, the bedroom is the favorite place to binge watch and, for this reason, high-profile and high-tech solutions have been put on the market to combine design, functionality and comfort.
The HiBed bed, designed by Italian architect Fabio Vinella, was presented during Milan Design Week 2020: it is a double bed equipped with a sober hi-tech structure that forms a modern canopy around it.
A Dolby surround sound system, a 4K projector that can be connected to various devices such as telephones, tablets and computers, and of course a roll-up screen on which to project images are implemented in the structure.
Those who prefer to watch movies and television series outside of bed, will necessarily have to work on the living room, modifying it according to precise criteria.
The seat on which the spectators will be hosted is very important: a good sofa with a rigid seat, able to support the back, distracting from the temptation to assume incorrect positions, can replace cinema seats very well.
Technology makes the difference
The choice of screen is fundamental, since the general satisfaction of an evening of binge watching revolves around the visual quality of the experience. It therefore becomes absolutely necessary to choose a screen with an appropriate size for the room in which it will be used and the distance at which it will be used.
If you are lucky enough to have a medium or large room, with a distance of two or three meters between the viewers’ seat and the screen, a 55-inch TV to experience an immersive, smart vision in high definition will be a comfortable choice for a full immersion in your favorite series.
Finally, the audio system must absolutely be up to the task, to create an immersive and engaging experience: achieving correct positioning of the speakers is also essential to be able to get the most out of your system. Otherwise, its performance would be heavily downgraded.
