Home Cinema Choice  |  Aug-20
Our cover star this issue is Arcam's new AVR30, which marries 16-channel 3D audio processing to an onboard seven-channel Class G power plant – and perfects its performance through Dirac Live. Is this the home cinema receiver you've been waiting for?
Also on the test bench is Philips’ 55OLED805, its latest Ambilight-toting OLED TV – now with AI-boosted image processing. We also run the rule over LG’s flagship 7.1.4 soundbar system; REL’s premium-grade 212/SX subwoofer; a Focal Chora 5.1.2 speaker setup; projectors from Optoma and Viewsonic; TCL’s feature-rich 65C815K TV; the Zappiti Pro 4K HDR media player; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered.
On the software side, we check out new Blu-ray and 4K releases including Jaws, Parasite, Bloodshot and Mr. Vampire, plus jump in our F-14A Tomcat to spin Top Gun in 4K and Dolby Atmos. We also look back at more than 75 years of DC comics on the big and smallscreen.
Elsewhere, we chat to Gangs of London writer/director Gareth Evans about bringing Far East fight choreography to the UK crime epic; listen up with Tidal’s Dolby Atmos Music streams; check out a pro install made for movies and gaming; and wonder if it’s time for a drive-in cinema revival…
Plus all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
