Home Cinema Choice Magazine - July 2018

In this issue

"Our cover star this issue is LG’s OLED65E8, a 65in OLED TV that the Korean giant hopes sets a new level for 4K HDR home entertainment courtesy of its new panel, new processing and new design. We give our verdict in our in-depth review. Also on the test bench this issue is Trinnov’s Altitude16, a 16-channel processor with advanced room calibration skills designed for premium home cinemas.
We also run the rule over Optoma’s affordable UHD51 4K/3D DLP projector, a 5.1 package from Q Acoustics’ new 3000i series, Naim’s all-in-one Uniti Star, LG’s debut Google Assistant speaker, a HEOS soundbar from Denon and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered. On the software side, we check out new Blu-ray and 4K releases including Black Panther, Den of Thieves and Early Man, plus Ridley Scott’s classic epic Gladiator. We also choose our top 10 Bruce Willis flicks, in celebration of Die Hard’s 30th anniversary. Elsewhere, we chat to Hollywood music scoring mixer Dennis Sands about working on Avengers: Infinity War, 3D audio and his favourite loudspeakers; cast an eye over the best from Munich’s legendary High-End Show; marvel at a pair of state-of-the-art custom install projects, and get excited about 2001: A Space Odyssey’s 70mm re-release… Plus: all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!"
