What new TV/home cinema set up

[ade73]

Looking to replace/upgrade my tv and thought well why not just chuck a load of money at it.

So what TV? size 65 to 75", is there an all in one atmos cinema set up that includes a player or will it need to be separate? Future proof as possible and not Samsung. Also connected will be a Humax and PS4.

TIA

LG is a good place to start. All of their 2017 OLED's share exactly the same panel and image processing (from the base model to the top of the range). So whichever you pick you're getting the best image they offer.

If you want better integrated sound or a faux ATMOS sound bar move up the range a bit.

Personally I'd go with the bottom of the range (65B7V) and buy a separate receiver and speaker package.

and then add something like this...

and probably one of these...

Really depends on your budget.

OLED's are very good and pricey.

ATMOS soundbars can be good and available from the likes of Yamaha, but still a chunk o money compaired to a standard bar or even a proper 5.1 speaker package.

I have just bought the Sony KD65A1 and am very impressed with it.

No sound bars thanks, budget is whatever it costs.

Are you saying you want a sound bar or you don't?

No sound bar.

Big TV, Yes
Atmos cinema set, Unit and speakers 5.1.2 or whatever it is, yes.
Blue ray player, yes (if there isn't an all in one home cinema set with this and atmos speakers)

[B17NNS]

If you've got the space and budget you can go with a 7.2.4 set up.

You'll need an 11 channel amp. Something like this...

Add 2 additional rears and another sub (to make the 7.2) and 4 ceiling speakers for the Atmos.

This UHD Blu-ray player is very well thought of...

As much as it costs hey.

So do you have £5k, £35k or £100k

All cinemas we have built for clients, all good to stunning. all Atmos.

Where do you fit?

How about a nice Arcam AVR550? DIRAC live room EQ gives you plenty of scope to maximise the sound in your room.

I’d possibly look at a Triad Mini LCR 3.0 and some Bronze in Corner surround speakers.
A set of Bronze open round ceiling speakers and a pair of on wall Slim Subs running from a single rack amp300.
Add a 65” LG OLED, an OPPO BD player and some cables and you should see change from 12k (ish) :-)

All this depends on, so far undisclosed details of room layout, bugetry / aesthetic requirements.
You say in your post ‘Aload of money’ but then mention ‘All in one’ which points generally to the low end of the AV market.

How about some images of the front and back of the room please?
What type of building are you in?

What have you seen / heard so far?

Connected to something like this all in one system. As I cant find an all in one player/processor.

You'd be better off with the much cheaper B7. Panel (therefore picture quality) is identical to that set. The only thing that is different is the way it looks and the internal speakers.

As you're adding your own sound system that doesn't matter.

The £2k you save can be spent on a better sound system.

Here for your player:
