    I thought Samsung’s S95H OLED TV was a cheaper S99H – then I tested them side by side (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Samsung really seems to have gone out of its way to make its TV lineup as confusing as possible this year, especially where its flagship OLEDs are concerned. In the UK, Samsung’s top OLED is the S99H. It’s a glorious TV that takes OLED performance to new heights, wrapped in a fancy, somewhat divisive frame design. Elsewhere in the world, though, this TV is known as the S95H. Not too confusing yet, right? But get this: in the UK, we also get an S95H, and it’s different to the S95H found elsewhere

    There's been a big problem with some Sony TVs – but a fix might finally be here (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    It's been a rough few weeks for many Sony Bravia TV owners – but a solution to their problems may finally be in sight. Back in June, Sony pushed a software update to its current lineup of TVs that, for many, seems to have caused fundamental problems with eARC. The issues include Dolby Vision content refusing to play, sound gradually desyncing, and audio dropouts, with most users experiencing some but not others. I’m a Bravia 8 II owner, and it’s the audio dropouts that I got. The common factor i

    As someone who lives with both previous Sonos Beam models, here are the 5 Beam Ultra things I’m most excited about – and my 3 disappointments (opens the original)

    As someone who uses both a Sonos Beam and Beam Gen 2 at home, I’m probably more excited than most about the announcement of the new Beam Ultra. And, I have to say, I think it broadly looks excellent, delivering pretty much everything that Beam owners like me have been asking for. But ‘pretty much everything’ and ‘everything’ aren’t the same thing, and we always want more. So, here are the five features of the Beam Ultra about which I’m most excited, and the three elements that I find slightly di

    Could Sonos one day support DTS:X? “The door isn’t closed” (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Sonos has just taken the wraps off the Beam Ultra, a new Dolby Atmos soundbar that sits between the entry-level Beam Gen 2 and premium Arc Ultra. One of the coolest things about the Beam Ultra is that, unlike the Beam Gen 2, it has dedicated up-firing speakers for a more involving Dolby Atmos delivery. Dolby Atmos isn't the only 3D audio format in town, though. DTS:X is a serious alternative, and one that's particularly popular with home cinema enthusiasts, yet Sonos has resolutely refused to su
