Our cover star this issue is Hisense’s 100E7NQ Pro, a monster-sized 100in TV with wide-ranging HDR support, gaming-friendly features and comprehensive smarts – and a great performance. Is this the bigscreen bargain of the year? We give our verdict.
Also on the test bench is Primare’s SP25 Prisma, the Swedish marque’s new Dolby Atmos/DTS:X processor, with bespoke network platform and styling to die for. We also run the rule over BenQ’s X300G gaming-focused 4K projector; Perlisten’s R18s subwoofer; Samsung’s QE65S90D QD OLED TV; the flagship US95TR soundbar system from LG; Marantz’s compact M1 streaming amplifier; Bush’s 50in Freely/TiVo
TV; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered!
On the software side, we check out new disc and streaming releases including Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F and classic noir Chinatown, now reborn on 4K BD. We also recall the best and worst of the long- running Planet of the Apes franchise, and – as new flick Alien: Romulus hits cinemas
– discover how David Fincher’s Alien 3 almost never got made.
Elsewhere, we take a tour of a custom install using JBL Synthesis speakers and electronics, check out a reader’s system, go inside Samsung’s innovative Audio Lab, and chat to sound brand Perlisten about subwoofers, EQ and putting loudspeakers on submarines...
Plus: all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
