Home Cinema Choice  |  September 2021
The crowning glory of Philips’ 2021 TV lineup, the 65OLED+936 aims to deliver a premium picture performance from its state-of-the-art OLED panel and processing, and immersive home cinema sound from its Bowers & Wilkins Atmos speaker system. We enjoy the show in our exclusive, in-depth review.
Also on the test bench is Reavon’s UBR-X200, an Ultra HD Blu-ray player that doubles as an audiophile music machine. We also run the rule over Samsung’s HW-Q950A 16-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar; BenQ’s V7050i ultra-short-throw laser projector; Sony’s A90J OLED TV; a seven-channel MusicCast AV receiver from Yamaha; LG’s ultra-compact Éclair soundbar; LCD TVs from Hisense and TCL; 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 A Quite Place Part II, Cruella, Spiral: From the Book of Saw and David Lynch’s 1984 adaptation of sci-fi epic Dune. We also build a Blu-ray watchlist of revenge movies in celebration of new Guy Ritchie flick Wrath of Man.
Elsewhere, we take a tour of a reader’s home-cinema-in-the-garden setup; drool over a pair of custom cinema install projects; talk Mini LED and Micro LED display technology; and wonder if the classic, hand-painted movie poster is making a comeback…
Plus all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
