The 2021 Mills Holiday Gift Guide – TVs and Projectors

Many electronics are in short supply due to supply chain disruptions and pandemic-induced demand. However, TV and projector inventory remains strong.  Right now is a great time to place an order for a new TV or projector for the holidays. If you’re looking for a great gift, and/or are looking to make an upgrade in your own home, there are a lot of great new models on the market.

For the person who wants the ultimate big screen experience

Sony Bravia 100-inch 4K HDR Full Array LED TV.  For a long time, the biggest TVs available were 85”.  With the release of this 100” diagonal TV, Sony now offers an option with 40% more viewing area. It costs slightly more than a projection system, but it is bright enough for any room. Enjoy excellent picture quality and sound virtually anywhere – Sony’s unique ambient optimization technology automatically adjusts picture and sound to your environment. Click to learn more about all the bells and whistles.  With this 100” screen in your room and a complimentary sound system, you’ll never need to head out to the cinema again.

For the TV lover (who doesn’t want to see the TV when it’s off)

Have a TV enthusiast in your life who’d rather not see a blank screen when the TV’s off?  

Many Mills clients have installed “Frame” TVs in their homes, especially in rooms where they want an alternative to the look of a TV turned off.  To date, the largest Frame model was 65”.  However, Samsung recently introduced a 75″ version of the Frame TV and will soon be releasing an 85″ version. The Frame enhances any room with beautiful art that’s also a TV.  When the TV is on, the picture is stunning high-resolution QLED quality.  The Frame also has customizable options to match any taste and decor. Andand they’re magnetic, making them simple to attach and detach for a different style.

For the movie enthusiast or serious gamer

To get a 120” screen, you need to have a big projector hanging from the ceiling in the back of the room, right?  Not so fast my friend.

Many manufacturers have released ultra-short-throw projectors. These projectors can be placed only inches from the wall, while creating a 110”-120” diagonal image. Short throw projection is great for smaller rooms. Or existing rooms that may not have a lot of wiring. The projector can be housed on or in a credenza below the TV. In fact, Mills can offer semi-custom furniture solutions for a projector and pair of speakers.  Many people also use these projectors for video games since not much room is needed to get a stunning large image.
