"Philips once again aims to take the OLED TV crown with its new 55OLED804, an Ambilight-equipped set with powerful bespoke processing and slick styling. Read our exclusive review to see why we rate it a 4K HDR marvel…
Also on the test bench this month is Epson’s EH-TW9400 projector, a 4K HDR model promising bright, sharp and super-sized visuals; the SL8YG Dolby Atmos soundbar and 65in SM9800 LCD TV from LG; Sony’s reference-grade 85in 8K TV; DALI’s Katch One soundbar; a 1080p HDR projector from Optoma; Dolby Atmos upfiring speakers from Klipsch; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered.
On the software side, we check out new Blu-ray and 4K releases including Captain Marvel, Us and Tim Burton’s Batman and – inspired by the UHD release of The Mule – round up 10 classic flicks from actor/director Clint Eastwood. We also pick another slate of Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray demo discs that are perfect for showing off your AV system.
Elsewhere, we report on the tech trends of 2019 revealed at the IFA Global Press Conference, grab a listen to Focal’s new Astral 16 processor/amplifier, go behind the scenes with a professional cinema install, check out a reader’s dedicated movie room, and wonder if the time is right for Apple to join the flatscreen TV market…
Plus all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!"
