Rewind: new B&W speakers, an unexpected update to LG OLED TVs, affordable Dolby Atmos and more

All the latest headlines in the world of hi-fi and home cinema in one neat list

It may be a Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK, but that won’t stop us from publishing the latest instalment of our weekly Rewind column.

 

In it our team details the top developments in the world of home cinema and hi-fi, making it quick and easy for you to stay on top of the latest news.

It was another busy one in the What Hi-Fi? offices and test rooms. Over the past seven days, our experts revealed their final thoughts on Samsung’s latest TVs, while big-name audio brands including Denon and Bowers & Wilkins unveiled new products.

This week our team of testers delivered their definitive verdict on Samsung’s latest flagship QD-OLED, the S95D. During testing, we were pleased to find it’s a massive step forward for Samsung, one that offers clear improvements on last year’s Samsung S95C, which scored four stars. Highlights include a higher max brightness, significantly improved contrast and colour accuracy and an excellent suite of gaming features. The combination earned it a perfect five-star rating from our reviewers.

Our S95D review wasn’t the only big news in the world of OLED TVs. LG also revealed significant software updates to its older LG C2 and LG G2 OLED TVs. These include massive improvements to the TVs' UI to make them more modern and in line with the company's newer models. The only slight downer is that there’s no word on whether it’ll do the same for its cheaper A2 and B2 OLEDs.
