4 ways to bring big screen energy to your living room

See how a custom “Movie Mode” routine in the SmartThings app can deliver a cinema-worthy experience at home.

The lights dim, the sound swells, and for a moment, you’re transported — until you fumble for the remote, the lighting is off, and distractions pull you out of the moment. Sound familiar?

A truly immersive movie night isn’t just about what’s on the screen — it’s the entire experience. The perfect lighting, rich sound, and effortless control make every movie feel like a premiere. And when you have the right furniture to complement your setup, it takes your movie nights to a whole new level. With SmartThings and the perfect furniture from Ashley, you can bring that experience home.

By connecting your Samsung home entertainment products to the SmartThings app,¹ you can transform any movie night — or even a casual binge — into a cinematic event. Routine creation makes it easy to sync your space for instant theater vibes. Here’s how:

1. See every detail
A great movie night is all about the details. Powered by Quantum Matrix Pro with Mini LEDs, 98” Class Neo QLED TV brings every scene to life in stunning 4K clarity. Every shadow, highlight and texture is sharp, making even the smallest moments feel cinematic.

2. Immerse yourself in sound
Feel every whisper, explosion, and crescendo with sound that moves around you. Sync your Q-Series Soundbar with the Music Frame in the SmartThings app, and experience Q-Symphony² — where your soundbar and compatible TV speakers work in harmony to wrap you in rich, 3D audio. It’s an epic sound experience that looks just as sleek as it sounds.

3. Ditch the Remotes
Your phone is the only remote you need. With the SmartThings app on the Galaxy S25 Ultra you can use Quick Remote³ to press pause, turn up the volume, and even change sources.

4. Set the mood
Transform your space into a true theater experience. Your custom routine in the SmartThings app can turn on your Philips Hue Sync lighting.⁴ Watch your lights move with the moment — they pulse to the beat, flash with the action, and shift colors to match every scene.
