Why are movie theater screens so poor in quality-low res, bad sound quality compared to home ent. systems.?

A lot depends on the theater you go to.  I've been to theaters that have new digital projectors and look real crisp.. I know that part of the decline is due to the faster turn around of dvd release from what it used to be, so people are more willing to wait, rather then spend $8.95+ for a movie, $5 for a drink and $5 for popcorn.  I'm sure from this decline movie theaters are tighting their wallets and less are upgrading their systems, thus allowing home theaters to surpass in quality.

1. are your audio/video cards working properly? \n\n2. have you formatted your pc recently? if so, are you sure that your audio/video drivers are installed successfully?\n\n3. are you using the proper media player to see or hear the videos or sounds: that is, some players are not compatible with certain audio or video formats..\n\n\nthink about these...

A good set of speakers for a PC can cost you as much a good home theater audio system.  If you are going to buy a set and you have the cash and only want to use it for your PC try a THX certified set.  They are so good they can operate outside the range of human hearing.  Other wise get a 3 pcs set for $50.00

Maybe from the video card, but I think it's because of the codecs, get Ace Mega Codec pack and make shure you have DivX installed. Rarely, you may find a movie encoded with a codec that is not that popular, maybe that's your problem.

I believe this is something to do with the media file you are playing. At times when you do not have the proper codec installed, you won't get any sound. To learn more about CODECS, you can visit this link: http://www.moviecodec.com/

If you listen to other things, and the volume is fine, then it has to be the movie itself.   \n\nLook at the sound control on your Task bar first, and CRANK IT UP.  \n\nThe Movie viewer program probably also has a volume control.  CRANK that up.  \n\nIf you have amplifed speakers that have a volume control knob, CRANK IT UP.   \n\nIf all this fails, and the volume is still very low, you might try using a headset.   Your old CD player probably has headphones with the same mini-jack.   Give that a whirl.  \n\nGood luck

Is it a CRT (huge, big box monitor)?\nIf it is, it seems that its going to die soon. The Flyback transformer may neet replacement. Go get an LCD already :D

What is it you are trying to do?  See the computer screen on your TV?  What's the point of that?  The resolution on a TV is crap compared to a computer monitor, so whatever you look at is going to look terrible. \n\nYou do have to run the audio out of your sound card to the input of the TV in order to hear the sound.  Or, you could just turn up your PC speakers. \n\nGood Luck~ \n\nCheers!

Try this: get a codec.\n\nAn example is the Divx codec.

If the computer buffers enough so playback is nonstop, the latency can be long and nobody will care.  What sucks is when the buffer runs out so the picture or sound skips.  That can be less than a second long and still be annoying.  I bet if varies quite a bit from person to person.

With displays being reasonably priced, why not just invest in a better display?

You have a strange philosophy,  "Fidelity of sound and quality of construction aren't important."  Those are two hallmark features of headphones right there.  I wouldn't buy something that didn't sound anything less than perfect.  Anyway... yeah... I'm just shuttering here at the fact quality of sound is unimportant, give me a second to recover from shock (I'm just joking with you) but you'd probably faint if you knew how much I have paid for my current collection of headphones.\n\nSo, anyway, the cheapest I could find was this Panasonic set at $62, http://www.bizrate.com/marketplace/search/search__cat_id--11560000,nwylf--,prod_id--251478725,sort--6.html and they got an okay rating at Cnet, http://reviews.cnet.com/Panasonic_RP_WF930_S/4505-6468_7-31214939.html?tag=pdtl-list they're not great but okay.  I certainly wouldn't go ANY cheaper.\n\nAhhhh, point taken, okay, cheap cheap cheap it is.  A quick search on Bizrate turned up a refurbished pair of the Sony MDR-RF960RK (that's a mouthfull) headphones available for $36 from eCost (closeout deal), http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail.asp?dpno=495873&store=ecost&source=ECOSTBIZRATE&srccode=cii_10043468&cpncode=11-6949134-2&adcampaign=email,ECOSTBIZRATE they retail for $90 in case you were wondering.
