Someone over on the home theater sub is stuck on this and I've been chewing on the same thing. He's looking at a larger room, seeing 100-inch sets from Sony, Samsung and Hisense in roughly the $1,800 to $2,000 range in the US, and now the projector plus screen route doesn't look like the obvious...
Someone on Reddit is stuck between a projector setup and a 100 inch TV for a big room, and the thing tipping them is that Sony, Samsung and Hisense 100 inch sets are landing around 1,800 to 2,000 dollars in the US now. That is genuinely close to a decent projector plus a real screen once you...
Dolby has been explaining why DV2 shipped in two flavours, and the split is a licensing decision wearing a product decision costume. Dolby Vision 2 Max is meant to take over the premium slot that plain Dolby Vision holds today. Standard Dolby Vision 2 is the cheaper licence, aimed at sets that...
Someone just posted a first dedicated theater build that goes against the grain: 7.1.4 layout, Marantz Cinema 30 running it, and instead of a screen and projector the front of the room is a 115-inch TCL RGB TV. Ground speakers are Infinity Beta, ceiling channels are 8-inch KEF in-ceilings, gear...
Went through the 2026 Samsung range writeup and the number that stopped me was 165Hz. That is the R95H, the new Micro RGB set sitting above Neo QLED, listed at up to 4K/165Hz with VRR, ALLM, FreeSync Premium Pro, G-SYNC Compatible and HGiG. The R85H below it uses the same Micro RGB display...
Tom's Guide ran a head to head on the two cheapest new TVs they had in the lab, Samsung's 2026 entry level U8000H against Amazon's Ember 4-Series, and I like the method here more than the usual budget TV roundup. Three films off 4K Blu-ray in Filmmaker mode, fed through an HDMI splitter so both...
ZDNET refreshed its big-screen TV roundup this week and the framing has shifted in a way worth noticing. It is no longer 85 inches at the top of the chart. There are 98-inch classes from several brands, 115-inch sets, and reference to 130-inch panels existing. The cinema-sized television is now...
So Disney found a way around the injunction, and the answer looks like VP9. Heise reported the codec, and Disney itself has only said it adopted an alternative technology and started restoring 4K UHD. The logic writes itself: HEVC is the thing InterDigital is fighting them over, so out it goes...
A date has landed for Gears of War: E-Day, October 6, and every time a big console exclusive gets a hard date the same threads start up about whether the TV needs replacing first. I have been through this cycle enough times to have a view on it.
The features that actually change how a game like...
What Hi-Fi have reviewed the S85H and their short version is that it is one of the better entry-level OLEDs they have tested, mainly on brightness. They ran it through their usual peak brightness stress test with Pan, which is mastered at 4000 nits, and reckoned it burns brighter than previous...
FlatpanelsHD has updated its QMS support list again and the only note is that more brands now support it. Nobody is shouting about this, manufacturers included, which is a shame, because QMS is one of the few HDMI 2.1 features that changes something you run into every single evening.

Sound & Vision has the announcement: Queen's Budapest show, filmed on 27 July 1986 and the last full concert captured with Freddie Mercury fronting the band, goes into cinemas and IMAX worldwide from 7 October through Trafalgar Releasing, with Sony Music Vision involved. Physical editions land...
What Hi-Fi went digging through their own archives for the first time they reviewed each new TV format, and the pattern that falls out is the same one we argue about every January.
The first flatscreen LCD they saw with a genuine native 1080p panel was the Sharp LC-45GD1E in 2005, at GBP 5,500...
Home Cinema Choice has run the TCL 85C805K and the framing is the interesting bit rather than the score: an 85-inch mini LED set at a price ordinary households can genuinely reach. TCL is driving that harder than anyone, and the direction of travel over the last three years has been remarkable...
What Hi-Fi went round the major TV brands asking what is actually happening with 8K and came back with a pile of no comments, a couple of nothing to share right now, and one statement about broader adoption depending on how content and distribution ecosystems evolve. That last one is corporate...
