When I first planned out my home theater setup, I knew there was one thing I didn’t want: a bunch of wires running all over the room. Having fewer wires reduces the tripping hazard and the chance of them getting caught on something and pulling what they are connected to down.
Other than the wires needed to power each aspect of my home theater setup—such as the projector, streaming device, and speaker—I did not want them used for anything else. I am happy to say that I have achieved that goal, and I plan to never resort to unnecessary wires.
Less cable clutter
No cables to clutter up the setup
When putting together my home theater, I went with a 4K projector aimed at a blank wall on the other side of the room. It was then connected to an Apple TV 4K through one of the two HDMI ports.
Honestly, the projector comes with an operating system that connects to various streaming services, so there is technically no need to connect a streaming stick or box to it. While this would eliminate more wires, I decided to connect one because the operating system is not always the best at streaming and handling Wi-Fi, as a separate device would be.
