If you\u2019ve been a home theater aficionado since the beginning, you probably know how and why having the \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thx.com\/certification\/\">Certified by THX<\/a>\u201d label on your equipment means you\u2019re getting the highest video and audio quality for every component that goes into your entertainment setup.\n\nBut with so many products on the market now claiming to be superior, many newer home theater buyers don\u2019t know what to trust.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1031\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thx.com\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/04\/HDInstallations.jpg\" alt=\"Home Theater HD\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\">\n\nSo how can you be sure you\u2019re getting the best equipment before you buy? Is the \u201cCertified by THX\u201d label just another marketing ploy like so many others claiming to be \u201cthe best\u201d? No.\n\n<strong>Here\u2019s why:<\/strong>\n\nThe \u201cCertified by THX\u201d mark guarantees the product has been rigorously tested and has proven to consistently produce an uncompromised home entertainment experience. So what exactly goes into the THX certification process? What sets <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thx.com\/certified-products\/\">THX Certified products<\/a> apart from the rest? Read on to find out.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1029 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thx.com\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Demo_Room_Screen_0257_V4.jpg\" alt=\"Home Cinema Deep Note 2\" width=\"5502\" height=\"3744\">\n\n<strong>Optimal performance<\/strong>\n\nAbove all else, our tests ensure the highest possible performance for home entertainment devices. We only certify products that provide a truly cinematic experience, blurring the lines between your living room and a movie theater. We work with our partners to ensure that every component within the system works together to create sharp, hi-res visuals or crisp, dynamic sound.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1032\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thx.com\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/04\/THX-Display-Testing-3-copy.jpg\" alt=\"THX certification testing image 1\" width=\"4035\" height=\"2586\">\n\n<strong>Seamless integration<\/strong>\n\nWe know you aren\u2019t going to rip out your entire existing home entertainment system and replace it with THX Certified products tomorrow. You\u2019ll buy components a few at a time, as needed. That means your new equipment will need to work easily and seamlessly with your older devices. We test products to ensure that they do just that &#8211; delivering a high standard of entertainment even when paired with equipment that doesn\u2019t meet our specifications.\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1030\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thx.com\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC_0359-2.jpg\" alt=\"Panasonic THX Certified\" width=\"3680\" height=\"2456\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/shop.panasonic.com\/audio-and-video\/blu-ray-and-dvd-players\/blu-ray-disc-players\/DMP-UB900.html\">Panasonic Native 4K Blu-ray Cinema Quality Player with 4K Upscaling, 4K Streaming &amp; Built-in Wi-Fi &#8211; DMP-UB900<\/a><\/p>\n<strong>Superior quality<\/strong>\n\nHere\u2019s a secret: a lot of the home theater products on the market don\u2019t meet our standards. When you see a \u201cCertified by THX\u201d label, it\u2019s no rubber stamp\u2014it means the product inside delivers superior quality, consistently and reliably.\n\n<strong>Tested inside and out<\/strong>\n\nFour hundred. That\u2019s on average how many tests a product typically has to pass before we\u2019ll certify it. Nobody tests for picture and sound quality as rigorously as we do. We believe that the content seen on your screen and heard through your speakers should match the creators\u2019 original vision. THX Certified products are guaranteed to bring art to life through technology like nothing else on the market.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1033\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thx.com\/assets\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Video_Room_002_V1.jpg\" alt=\"video testing image 1\" width=\"5616\" height=\"3744\">\n\n<strong>Learn more about our programs<\/strong>\n\nTHX offers certification for a wide variety of devices.
