The end of the school holidays are in sight (sorry to be a harbinger of doom, but time is moving on…), and with it the change in season. It’s at times like this that our minds turn, not only to our annual Awards – for which we are deeply embroiled in testing as I write – but also to getting prepared for the shortening days and the inevitably poorer weather to come. In short, we have turned our attention to settling in at home with our loved ones for movie and sports nights.
To get the biggest picture at home, there is still nothing to better a projector; and for those of us with less space to play with a short-throw projector (p50) is now an option that is within reasonable reach – it’s amazing tech that deserves to be seen.
A decent home cinema really isn’t all about the picture though, of course. We also offer our pick of AV amplifiers (p46) and speaker packages (p48), to do justice to those massive images. And, if space is truly at a premium, a decent soundbar (p32) is a terrific option, with even Dolby Atmos sound catered for.
