Everyone is talking about the Dirac situation on these, but the spec that made me sit up is 1440p passthrough and AMD FreeSync compatibility across all four models - the Cinema 50 Series 2, both Cinema 60s and the slimline 70s. Receivers have spent years treating PC gamers as somebody else's...

Engadget put this at 8.8 and the headline is that Samsung finally built an all-in-one bar that does not ship with a wireless sub. Thirteen drivers instead of the eight in last year's QS700F, and the cabinet grew about three and a half inches to fit them. The reviewer went in straight off months...

The Rubber Soul Special Edition lands October 2. New stereo mix from Giles Martin and Sam Okell taken off the original four-track tapes, plus Dolby Atmos, high-resolution stereo, the 1965 mono and the U.S. Capitol configuration - though which of those you actually get depends on which edition...

Picked this up mostly because I liked the first one enough to be curious, and the disc turned up last week. Fox/Disney put it out on July 28 in 2.39:1 with Dolby Vision and HDR10, Atmos on the UHD and DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 on the bundled Blu-ray. The review I read says picture and sound are...

The ROG Gjallar finally has a price and it's China only so far: CNY 3,699, which converts to somewhere around $548. Asus showed it in early July without saying what it would cost, and there's already a page on the international site, so a wider release is presumably coming. On paper it's 2.1.2...

Pioneer has been fairly quiet in AV receivers for a while, and the VSA-LX805 is the swing at getting back to being a first-choice brand. It's an 11-channel flagship, which is the obvious way to do it: match the competition on channel count and tick every format box on the way past. Dolby Atmos...

What Hi-Fi went round the industry again this year and asked engineers at the manufacturers which scenes they actually reach for when benchmarking kit. Worth reading, but read it with one eye open. Harman's consumer audio side put forward the Impossible Race from Ready Player One, Shallow from...

B&O has slotted a new soundbar in between Beosound Stage and Theatre, called Premiere, and the review that went up is worth reading for the details rather than the verdict. It is a 4.1.2 configuration built from 10 drivers: a centre tweeter, one upward-firing driver under the perforated grille...

There is an updated list going around of TV models that carry Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced together, and it is a good reminder of how fiddly this has quietly become. The short version: every modern TV decodes some flavor of Dolby, most now handle Atmos, but almost always the e-AC-3...

With the tournament wrapped up I keep coming back to the coverage question, because it was the most under-discussed thing about this World Cup on the picture quality side. There were two primary feeds going out: 1080p60 SDR and 1080p60 HDR. A 4K HDR (HLG) feed did exist for rights holders, but...

All kinds of publicity about Dolby Atmos are endless, and various concepts and logos have confused consumers. So how to distinguish these concepts? How to build a home theater system? For further sorting out, I leave this article here. It will be continuously updated and improved in the future...

As the use of television becomes more and more widespread, the need for a television sound system is becoming stronger for many people. But many people still have questions: what is Dolby Atmos, what is DTS, and which is better for the sound quality of the TV? This article will tell you the...
