Home Cinema Choice Magazine May 2023 Zurück Ausgabe

In the May issue of Home Cinema Choice:

Sharing space on our cover this month are Samsung’s QE65S95C QD OLED TV, and LG’s OLED65G3, its first with a Micro Lens Array panel – both are premium screens aimed at performance-first movie fans, so should you make either the centrepiece of your home cinema?

Also on the test bench this issue is REL’s Reference Series No.31, a high-end 12in/900W subwoofer with a heavyweight build to match its deep, dynamic lows. We also run the rule over a 5.1 on-wall speaker array from System Audio’s Saxo range; Dolby Atmos soundbars from JBL and Sony; Marantz’s super-stylish Cinema 70s AV receiver; active wireless floorstanders from Audio Pro; Amazon’s third-generation Fire TV Cube; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered!

On the software side, we check out new Blu-ray, 4K and streaming releases including M3GAN, Babylon, Star Trek: TNG – 4-Movie Collection, and Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre. We also celebrate the career of the King of Hollywood, James Cameron, and look back at the 1983 launch of Return of the Jedi.

Elsewhere, we report on Amazon’s plans to enter the TV and gaming arena with its Omni and Luna hardware; assemble AV systems for movies, streaming and games; check out a reader’s garage-turned-movie room and a custom install project with hidden 7.4.4 audio; and wonder whether a user interface can make or break a product…

Plus all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
