Home Cinema Choice - November 2023

في هذا العدد

Our cover star this issue is Samsung’s QE75QN900C, a 75in 8K TV with advanced AI processing, immersive Object Tracking Sound system and multi-zone Mini LED backlight tech. Read our in-depth review to see why we rate it Samsung’s best QLED TV yet… Also on the test bench is Magnetar’s UDP900, a high-end flagship 4K disc spinner that performs double duty as a USB DAC/headphone amp. We run the rule over this heavyweight deck, plus a multichannel package from Scotland loudspeaker brand Fyne Audio; Sonos’s Era 300 Dolby Atmos speakers and Arc soundbar; the Envy Extreme Mk2 processor from madVR; Ruark’s R410 all-in-one system; Samsung’s second-generation The Freestyle smart projector; Wiim’s Mini music streamer; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered!
On the software side, we check out new Blu-ray, 4K and streaming releases including The Flash, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Sisu. We also pick our favourite fright flicks for Halloween, and look back at classic Brit chiller The Wicker Man as it lands on a 50th anniversary 4K set.
Elsewhere, we drool over the best of the best home cinemas and media rooms in this year’s CEDIA Awards, report on the tasty tech from IFA 2023, catch up with a reader’s who’s turned his garage into a movie den, and wonder if we’re living in the golden age of 4K Blu-ray…
Plus: all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
