Should your next TV be curved? The world’s biggest manufacturers certainly think so, and this issue we’re looking at Sony’s attempt to lead the curved screen charge. The 65in S8505C model promises pristine 4K visuals with support for HDR content – but is it more a case of style over substance?

Also on the test bench this issue are Cambridge Audio’s CXU universal Blu-ray player, the high-end AV8802A processor from Marantz, a compact 5.1 speaker system from DALI, Onkyo’s new Dolby Atmos/DTS:X AV receiver, Canton’s biggest-ever soundbase, a 40in Full HD TV from Philips and much more.
So if you’re looking for new kit – whatever your budget – we’ve got you covered.

On the software side, we celebrate the arrival of Jurassic World on Blu-ray with a look back at the revolutionary franchise opener, and pick out the other classic creature-features that need to be in your collection. And in our Playback section, Avengers: Age of Ultron, John Wick and the new Hellraiser boxset kick off the Blu-ray and DVD reviews.

Elsewhere, we report on the highs and lows of five years of 3D TV, check out an HCC reader’s low-cost home cinema setup, give away an Arcam Solo Plus soundbar, roundup some high-performance headphones and sing the praises of Pure Audio Blu-ray.

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