Here's why the new James Bond director could be brilliant news for Blu-ray fans

2 days ago | whathifi.com | Robyn Quick

Big news for James Bond fans has broken – Denis Villeneuve is set to direct the next instalment in the 007 franchise. This announcement has got us bubbling with excitement, and not just because it means we can look forward to the agent’s story continuing for another instalment. After all, it did seem like the ending for No Time To Die was pretty final. But there is another reason we can’t wait to see the as-yet unnamed film.

Mitchell and Brown has launched the JB-32T1881, which it claims is the UK’s smallest Full HD resolution TV with Freely support. Oddly specific branding claims aside, the TV does hit both criteria, coming loaded with a 32-inch screen and access all UK Freeview content via broadband. That includes BBC, ITV and Channel 4 as well as the usual streaming suspects such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
I review projectors for a living, and this film trilogy has reminded me what it’s all about

3 days ago | whathifi.com | Robyn Quick

As the summer heat has become borderline unbearable in London this last week, I have found myself retreating to the relative cool of my bedroom to watch movies on a mid-range portable projector. Myself and my What Hi-Fi? colleagues tested the Xgimi MoGo 4 recently, and it immediately appealed as an option for my bedroom due to its dinky design and easy setup. You just twist the body to transform its can-shaped design into a projector with a cool-looking stand.
My favourite 80s coming-of-age classic hits 4K Blu-ray for the first time ever - and with all the Dolby Atmos and Vision bells and whistles

We all know the No.1 hit theme song by John Parr, we all know Emilio Estevez and his fellow Brat Pack gang… and hopefully we all know the movie that followed hot on the heels of fellow Brat Pack coming-of-age classics Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. 40 years to this very month after hitting theaters, St. Elmo’s Fire has today been released on 4K Blu-ray for the first time, and has been given the and Dolby Atmos surround sound treatment.
I switched my old Sonos Playbar soundbar for the Dolby Atmos Arc – but 24 hours later it was back in the box

The truth is you might not need to buy that new product. There, I said it. Sure, I’ve spent 20 years reviewing and recommending shiny new things on a regular basis, but just because they exist doesn’t mean you need to buy them (unfortunate, I know). In many cases, it might not even deliver the upgrade you hoped it would. I was reminded of this fact recently when I decided to make an upgrade of my own.
Apple secretly announced a Dolby Atmos rival at WWDC - and it could bring a new dimension to immersive viewing

5 days ago | whathifi.com | Lewis Empson

Apple's mainstream announcements at its annual developer conference, which was held earlier this month, mostly concerned the latest versions of iOS, iPadOS and tvOS. However there was one major audio-focused announcement that went under the radar. During the developer-focused sessions of WWDC that follow the livestream, Apple revealed Apple Spatial Audio Format (ASAF).
This cheap soundbar proves that sound quality should be the top priority for manufacturers regardless of the price

1 week ago | whathifi.com | Lewis Empson

Late last week, I helped review the Sky Glass Gen 2. The upgraded QLED TV pleasantly surprised the team and I, with a solid picture and an impressive built-in Dolby Atmos sound system that easily outperforms any other TVs we've seen at this price. Despite that, we hooked up an affordable soundbar and confirmed our suspicions; even a basic soundbar elevates the TV's audio offering.
Now Showing: 3 movies we've been obsessed with in the What Hi-Fi? test rooms

1 week ago | whathifi.com | Robyn Quick |Tom Parsons |Alastair Stevenson

Even though we (obviously) all love movies here at What Hi-Fi?, there is still quite the range of interests in our team, and nothing makes that more clear than when we discuss our favourite test discs. Some of us immediately reach for a terrifying horror, whereas others prefer to ease themselves in with a wholesome period drama. If you have ever been curious about exactly what films we use to test out the latest tech, then boy are you in for a treat.
Philips has announced pricing for its upcoming OLED TVs – and I can't believe how cheap the model with Bowers & Wilkins speakers is

1 week ago | whathifi.com | Lewis Empson

Philips has announced pricing for its 2025 TV range, revealing a very pleasant surprise that could seriously disrupt the current OLED landscape. The OLED910, which is a collaboration between Philips and legendary British speaker manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins, sports a price tag that undercuts a lot of its key rivals. In fact, at £2199 for the 65-inch model or £3339 for the 77-inch version, this OLED TV doesn't just undercut its competition, it pulls the rug out from right underneath them.
If an LG C4 OLED is out of your budget, this Samsung QLED TV deal could be right up your street

1 week ago | whathifi.com | Robyn Quick

If you are on the hunt for a 55-inch TV, you most likely will have come across the LG C4. And for good reason – it is a great all-rounder we recommend to any buyer looking to make the jump to OLED. When we had the LG C4 for testing, we loved its picture quality which we dubbed “superb” for a mid-range OLED TV. You also get four HDMI 2.1 ports with support for 4K/120Hz, VRR and ALLM.
