Home Cinema Choice Magazine Apr-20 Back Issue

English

Only £4.99

Star Wars director George Lucas once observed that sound is 50 per cent of the movie-watching experience; it’s certainly true that for many, home cinema is all about the surround sound thrills. So this issue we’re audition two performance-first 5.1 setups from M&K Sound and ATC, plus Bang & Olufsen’s debut Dolby Atmos soundbar.

Also on the test bench is LG’s OLED88Z9, the world’s first 8K OLED TV. Does this offer the premium performance to justify its premium asking price? We also run the rule over Optoma’s UHD52ALV ultra-bright 4K HDR projector; 55in TVs from Samsung and Hisense; REL’s 10in S/510 active subwoofer; Yamaha’s Alexa-enabled YAS-109 soundbar; the Zen Blue Bluetooth DAC from ifi Audio; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered.

On the software side, we check out new Blu-ray and 4K releases including Knives Out, Doctor Sleep, Le Mans ‘66 and Frozen II, plus the 3D Blu-ray of 1950’s sci-fi The Mad Magician. We also chat with the creators of new software label Anti-Worlds Releasing about controversial cult cinema.

Elsewhere, we find out why Philips thinks 2020 will be the ‘year of Ambilight’; reveal the AV highlights from this year’s Bristol Hi-Fi Show; marvel at an award-winning media room install; take a tour of a reader’s home cinema setup; and fir up the Apple TV+ app for some 4K Dolby Atmos streaming.

Plus all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
