Sony’s XR-A95K is the company’s most advanced 4K TV yet, combining self-emissive OLED technology with Quantum Dot colour, plus its Acoustic Surface audio system. See why we rate this the flatscreen to beat in our in-depth review.
Also on the test bench this issue is Samsung’s HW-Q990B, a flagship 11.1.4-channel soundbar system promising immersive sonics from Dolby Atmos. We also run the rule over Musical Fidelity’s premium M6x 250.7 power amplifier; BenQ’s gaming-focused TH690ST projector; a 5.1 bookshelf speaker system from GoldenEar; 55in OLED sets from Hisense and Panasonic; Piega’s active wireless Ace speakers; REL’s affordable HT/1003 MkII subwoofer; 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 Top Gun: Maverick, Bullet Train and Poltergeist. We also look back at David Cronenberg’s sci-fi horror Videodrome, now remastered for UHD BD, and chat to music maestro Steven Wilson about mixing in spatial audio.
Elsewhere, we look back over 100 years of technical innovations from the BBC; put the finishing touches to our movie room makeover; pick out from some Blu-ray boxsets and movie collectibles to add to your Christmas list; and check out a reader’s living room home cinema with 23 speakers and four subwoofers...
Plus all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and more. Enjoy the show!
