Sony’s VPL-VW570ES is a projector fit for the finest cinema rooms, partnering its native 4K resolution and HDR playback with flexible setup and thrilling picture performance – so it’s only right it leads off our hardware reviews this issue. Also on the test bench is B&W’s 600 Series in a standmount 5.1 setup – does this entry-level array impress as much as the audio brand’s high-end lines? We also run the rule over Marantz’s slimline NR1609 AV receiver; Panasonic’s mid-range DP-UB820 Ultra HD Blu-ray deck; a soundbar/subwoofer system from Wharfedale; Sony’s 65in ZF9 LCD TV; 4K HDR streaming via Amazon’s new Fire TV Stick; four affordable 4K TVs in our 55in grouptest; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered. On the software side, get your calendar ready as we round up the big movies of 2019 from Avengers: Endgame to X-Men: Dark Phoenix. We also check out new Blu-ray and 4K releases including Venom, The Predator and BlacKkKlansman, and a stunning triple-disc outing for cult classic Waterworld. Elsewhere, we report on the groundbreaking TV launches from this year’s CES, go behind the scenes with a pair of professional cinema installs, pick up the best of Tom Hardy on Blu-ray and set sail on an IMAX Enhanced AV journey. Plus all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
