"Certainly not yet: these new eLEAP panels are initially planned for use in laptops, smartphones, car displays, and wearables such as smartwatches. " "Perhaps in the future....once its 8.7 generation plant is in operation in 2027" Somewhat misleading article title. By all means speculate on...

Very nice article bravo. I thought it might be nice to add a reference from Yamaha (I don't work for them but like language and technology) on "orthodynamic" https://europe.yamaha.com/en/products/contents/audio_visual/hifi_components/hifi-history/other/index.html#HP-1_ancher Also from Yamaha...

If Netflix upgrade their platform and as a consequence some older firmware cannot keep up then that's a reasonable development of the market. If, on the other hand, Netflix arbitrarily deregisters TVs and Blu Ray players over 10 years old then thats potentially manipulation of the market. I'd...

I'm not sure what "move over" means in the headline. Isn't dolby atmos encoded in the metadata so I think what would happen is you put your Dolby Atmos encoded source into the Samsung and Google TV and its algorithms interpret the sounds and output a best guess idea of what those sounds relate...

Hi, First of all apologies if this is in the wrong section, I thought placing it in Hot Deals made the most sense as the post is for any buy. The point I'd like to make is no warranty can obviate your protection under the Sale of Goods Act 1979. Additionally, the The Consumer Rights Act 2015...

Thank you John Archer and Tom Parsons for your most excellent review. Many of the TV reviews I've read on your rather wonderful site include a note about how the TV under review compares to other TVs; here no mention in the verdict of the LG C3 or LG G3. However, the TCL is noted as costing 1049...

Thank you RobSys for the info much appreciated

Hi, thank you for your article. Please could you clarify "With VRR and ALLM support rolling out in the near future" Have you a specific time line from Sony? Wasn't this released at the end of 2021? Its now around two years and counting that the VRR and ALLM update hasn't been released.

Thank you for clarifying

Zappiti NAS RIP 4K HDR with 4K Ultra HD upscaling and uncompressed video output. https://zappiti.co.uk/zappiti-nas-rip-4k-hdr-se.html Seems to me to be a NAS and media server that upscales so I presume some NAS software can upscale via software. Shield TV upscales...

Hi, Does a NAS upscale as well as a TV? Some of my video files are relatively low quality but my TV upscales my USB connected hard drive beautifully. However, the new solution needs to be have storage and backup as I'm ditching my current backup solution on BD Rs. If M Discs were cheaper I'd...

I do apologise for taking issue with Navanski However, the heading of the Joe Cox's article includes the words "turned off" so clearly the goal is simplicity sans electricity. Given the austerity of our time and the continued reduction of funding for classical orchestras a far better solution...

Hi, I'm no sound expert but I think the point is well made and very much supported. I was given a very good book on Opera Houses around the World https://www.amazon.co.uk/Most-Beautiful-Opera-Houses-World/dp/1419709615 What I found particularly interesting is how many are designed specifically...

Hi, Thank you for putting pressure on the industry into putting more HDMI ports on TVs. That being said I have a couple of issues with the article. Firstly, I search What HiFi and I find no group test of HDMI switchers (and/or splitters) So I'm wondering are switchers and splitters so useless as...

I'm rather amused by the Apple sourced picture that shows a person wearing the headset with (what looks like) a TV in the room. Given it's supposed to have a screen immersed in a virtual natural landscape its either the worst implementation of the VR possibilities or someone in the marketing...
