Our cover star is Samsung’s 65in Q9F TV, the brand’s 2017 flagship flatscreen. Promising unprecedented brightness and colour vibrancy, this state-of-the-art set appears tailor-made for premium performance thrills. Does it live up to expectations?

Also auditioned is JVC’s DLA-Z1 projector, which combines native 4K D-ILA optics with a laser light engine. We also run the rule over Polk’s new Signature speakers in a 5.1 setup, BenQ’s X12000 4K projector, Samsung’s HW-MS650 soundbar, Sonos’ Playbase, a 12in subwoofer from REL, Humax’s HB-1100S Freesat receiver and more from brands including Hisense, Nintendo and Amazon. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered.
On the software side, we give our verdict on the best releases from the first year of Ultra HD Blu-ray, and then check out new Blu-ray/4K discs including Assassin’s Creed, xXx: Return of Xander Cage, The Great Wall and Muholland Drive. And, inspired by La La Land, we round up 10 of the best movie musicals for your collection.

Elsewhere, we treat our ears to Sennheiser’s new 3D audio Pink Floyd remix; chat to Dolby about its customisable AC-4 codec; give away a Yamaha YSP-2700 soundbar; and wonder whether Dolby Vision and HDR 10+ are igniting another format war…

Plus all the usual opinions, advice, news and more. Enjoy the show!
