Sony 4K unleashed! Our cover star this issue is Sony’s stunning KD-65ZD9, a flagship Ultra HD TV which uses state-of-the-art backlight and local dimming technology to deliver a premium HDR performance. It’s the best screen the brand has ever made – but is it our new flatscreen champion?

If you’re looking for more affordable TVs, then also on the test bench this month are bargain-priced bigscreens from Hisense and Finlux. And if it’s sonic thrills you’re after, then check out our reviews of Denon’s AVR-X4300H Atmos/DTS:X receiver with HEOS integration, speaker packages from Wharfedale and ATC, Cabasse’s hi-res-capable Stream BAR soundbar, a potent 12in subwoofer from SVS and multiroom options from Panasonic and Sony. We also take a look at BenQ’s football-focused projector, Amazon’s AI-powered Echo Bluetooth speaker and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered.

On the software side, our Playback section checks out new disc releases including The Shallows, Star Trek Beyond and the remastered Assault on Precinct 13. Inspired by Jason Bourne, we also round up the best memory loss movies from Total Recall to Dark City. And, for 4K fans, we track down the best and worst of the latest slate of Ultra HD Blu-rays, before going in-depth with Arrow Films to talk movie restoration, film vs digital and its forthcoming disc releases.

Elsewhere, our Christmas Gift Guide reveals the system add-ons, boxsets and movie memorabilia that you’ll want under your tree; we gawp at an astonishing Marvel-themed cinema room; give away a DALI Kubik One soundbar and DALI Katch wireless speaker; listen in on headphones that promises 16-channel sound; and welcome the arrival of Star Wars: The Force Awakens on 3D BD…

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