In this issue
In Home Cinema Choice June 2016 we put Samsung’s UE55KS9000 TV to the test. A 4K/HDR screen using quantum dot technology and claiming Ultra HD Premium certification, this promises to be the brand’s best TV yet, but does it live up to expectations?
Also on our test bench are Ultra HD TVs from Sony and Panasonic, plus a 5.1 Opticon speaker array from DALI, JL Audio’s Dominion d108 compact subwoofer, the DM55 soundbase from Canton, Samsung’s first-generation K8500 4K Blu-ray player, a quartet of wireless headphones and more. So if you’re looking for new kit – whatever your budget – then we’ve got you covered.
On the software side, we take a look at the first wave of Ultra HD Blu-rays, including The Martian, Sicario, Mad Max: Fury Road and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and tell you which are essential additions to your collection. Meanwhile, our Playback section kicks off with the awe-inspiring Blu-ray release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, plus Creed, The Big Short and the 75th Anniversary Edition of Citizen Kane. We also travel back to the dawn of cinema in our in-depth investigation into aspect ratios.
Elsewhere, we report on Philips’ plans for OLED TV, show you how to set up your flatscreen in less than 20 minutes and check out a garage cinema conversion with hidden speaker tech. We also give away a trio of Q Acoustics’ Bluetooth speakers, take a tour of an HCC reader’s movie den, pick the 10 best Sylvester Stallone movies on disc and wonder explain why cinema speakers aren’t to blame when it comes to mumbled dialogue…
Plus all the usual opinions, advice, news and more. Enjoy the show!
