However, not all is bad news: Increased demand To find ways to watch movies and shows from the comfort of a family couch (with a markedly lower risk of contracting an airborne virus), something renaissance has begun for home theater equipment.

The screens are available in nine sizes, ranging from 108 inches to a massive 325-inch screen.
