Home Cinema Choice  |  July 2017
Our cover star this issue is LG’s 65in E7 OLED, a 4K bigscreen that aims to be the state-of-the-art heart of your home cinema setup. With improved brightness and black level performance, does it succeed? Also auditioned is Oppo’s audiophile-grade UDP-205 disc-spinner, Samsung’s curved Q8C series TV, LG’s Dolby Atmos SJ9 soundbar, an Optoma 1080p short-throw projector with Darbee processing, a slim AV receiver and MusicCast adapter from Yamaha, Sony’s universal UBP-X800 Blu-ray player and more from brands including Google, GoldenEar and Polk. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered. On the software side, we look at the career of stop-motion master Ray Harryhausen in celebration of his Sinbad Trilogy UK Blu-ray debut, and check out new Blu-ray/4K discs including Resident Evil: The Final Chapter; The LEGO Batman Movie; Patriots Day and Marlon Brando classic The Wild One. And, inspired by Silence, we round up 10 of the best Liam Neeson movies for your collection. Elsewhere, we chat with BBC boffins about its binaural audio soundmix for Doctor Who; pick out our favourite bits from the Munich High-End Show; give away a pair of premium Oppo PM-2 headphones; and investigate the craze for black-and-white versions of colour Hollywood blockbusters. Plus all the usual opinions, advice, news and more. Enjoy the show!
