Home Cinema Choice - February 2024

I dette nummeret

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!
