Home Cinema Choice – August 2018: Our cover star this issue is Sony’s KD-65AF8, a 65in OLED TV that sees the Big S revamping last year’s A1 with a new design and improved audio specification. Should this be on your home cinema wishlist? We give our verdict.

Also on the test bench this issue is LG’s range-topping SK10Y, a soundbar/subwoofer system offering largescale Dolby Atmos audio via upfiring drivers. We also run the rule over Philips’ £700 55PUS6753 4K TV bargain; Marantz’s new 13-channel AV8805 processor; a 7.1 on-wall speaker array from Brit brand ATC; SVS’s towering PC-4000 subwoofer; a 4K BenQ projector; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered.

On the software side, we check out new Blu-ray and 4K releases including Pacific Rim: Uprising, Tomb Raider and Red Sparrow, plus Spielberg’s WW2 classic Saving Private Ryan. We also revisit groundbreaking SFX movies, in celebration of Jurassic Park and The Matrix making their UHD debuts.

Elsewhere, we report on the 2018 plans of Sound United brands Denon, Marantz, Polk Audio, and Classe; visit an HCC reader’s granary barn-turned-movie den conversion; offer our opinion on the BBC’s 4K iPlayer trials; and rundown the Top 30 original movie scores.

Plus: all the usual opinions, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
