Home Cinema Choice  |  March 2016
In the latest issue of Home Cinema Choice we report on the hot technology – including Ultra HD Premium TVs and 4K Blu-ray – that everyone should be keeping an eye on in 2016. Could it be time to upgrade your system?
Leading our hardware reviews is an exclusive audition of KEF’s new Reference speaker range in a potent 7.2.4 3D sound setup – home cinema has never sounded so good! Also on the test bench is JVC’s latest DLA-X5000 eshift/HDR projector, Sony’s soundbar-turned-5.1-system, an affordable 50in 4K TV from Panasonic, BenQ’s W2000 projector, Arcam’s high-end Dolby Atmos AV receiver, floorstanding speakers from Q Acoustics, and more. So if you’re looking for new kit – whatever your budget – then we’ve got you covered.
On the software side, we kick off our Playback section with Crimson Peak and its DTS:X soundtrack, plus Sicario, Legend, Game of Thrones S5 and more. We also quiz the brains behind the FrightFest film festival about its new video-on-demand label.
Elsewhere, we prepare for the release of Spectre on Blu-ray by charting 007’s greatest stunts, discuss Sky’s 4K plans and check out a big cinema room with big audio ideas. We also take a tour of an HCC reader’s cherished movie den and wonder whether virtual reality is lining up for a 3D-like fall…
Plus all the usual opinions, advice, news and competitions. Enjoy the show!
