Home Cinema Choice - August 2022

I dette nummeret

Our cover star this month is Philips 55OLED807, the latest step in the company’s evolution of the self-emissive tech. Does this TV’s mix of advanced processing, Ambilight illumination, and bright ‘EX’ OLED panel guarantee a best-in-class viewing experience? Read our review to find out… Also on the test bench this issue is Trinnov’s Amplitude16, the French marque’s latest – and greatest – multichannel power amplifier. We also run the rule over Devialet’s high-end Dione soundbar; TCL’s 65in C835K Mini LED TV; the new HT/1510 Predator subwoofer from sub-bass specialist REL; laser projectors from Xgimi and Epson; Cabasse’s Pearl Keshi 2.1 system; the Klang soundbar/sub combi from reborn German brand Loewe; 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 Batman, The Northman and Ambulance. We also guide your through the UK’s astonishing range of independent Blu-ray labels, and remember when Michael Caine and Mike Hodges rewrote the British crime flick rulebook with 1971 classic Get Carter.
Elsewhere, we check out a former dining room given a custom-install home cinema makeover; wonder why Paramount+ isn’t available in 4K; eye up Monitor Audio’s incoming Concept 50 loudspeakers; and plan how we’d spend a lottery win on some of the world’s most outrageous and most expensive AV hardware.
Plus all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and more. Enjoy the show!
