Home Cinema Choice  |  Spring 2021
LG’s new G1 OLED TV continues the brand’s wall-hugging ‘Gallery’ style, but aims to boost picture quality thanks to improved processing and a new Evo panel design. Is this premium display more of a revolution than an evolution? We investigate.
Also on the test bench is KEF’s KC62, an ultra-compact subwoofer that debuts innovative UniCore dual driver technology to deliver big bass from very little space. We also run the rule over Denon’s bargain-priced AVR-X2700H receiver; Optoma’s UHD38 4K DLP projector; the Bar 5.0 Dolby Atmos soundbar from JBL; REL’s new T/9x subwoofer; Chromecast with Google TV; Sony’s first 48in OLED TV; Lumagen’s high-end Radiance Pro processor; 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 Monster Hunter, The Ten Commandments and Zack Snyder’s Justice League. We also celebrate the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s feature film debut Duel with a roundup of the best (and worst) movies of his career.
Elsewhere, we build three systems with price tags that won’t break the bank; get shaken and stirred by a stunning James Bond-inspired cinema room; chat to Love & Anarchy cinematographer Ulf Brantas about working with Dolby Vision; take a tour of a reader’s home cinema setup; and call for a revival of gratuitous sequels…
Plus all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
