Home Cinema Choice - February 2024

この号では

Our cover star this issue is LG’s OLED77Z3, the brand’s monster (77in) 8K OLED TV that seems made for movie watching. How does it compare to LG’s own – and more affordable – 4K OLED stablemates? Read our in-depth review…. Also on the test bench is Leica’s Cine 1, the first ultra-short-throw laser projector from the celebrated lens/camera specialist, with integrated audio and smart hub. We also run the rule over Denon’s muscle-bound mid-range AVC-X4800H amplifier; Q Acoustics’ 5040 5.1 speaker system; the eight-channel MXA-8400 power amp from Lyngdorf; Velodyne’s superb-value Impact X 12 subwoofer; soundbars from Majority and Denon; Hegel’s Viking CD player; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered! On the software side, we check out new disc and streaming including Indiana Jones V, The Equalizer 3 and the 4K remaster of Titanic. We also celebrate the career of director Martin Scorsese with a look at his essential movies on BD, and go wild in the streets with Walter Hill’s 1979 classic The Warriors as it’s reborn on 4K Blu-ray. Elsewhere, we step inside a stunning pro cinema install, report on the hottest technology launched at this year’s CES, head to Tokyo to sample Sony’s next- generation Mini LED TV, get blown away by a state-of-the-art demo room, and wonder if a VHS comeback is on the horizon… Plus: all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
