A 36-inch soundbar

delivering the front

channels and with

WZRXSĆULQJGULYHUV

for Dolby Atmos, a

wirelessly connected

subwoofer for bass, and

two rear speakers.

This setup gives you not

only a large soundbar

at the front, but also

a subwoofer and two

wireless rear speaker

units – it’s a full surround

system, but without all

the messy cables.

The Swiss Army Knife

of streaming delivers

4K HDR, isn’t locked to

a particular ecosystem,

has tons of available apps

and is a joy to use. It’s

the best streamer for

many people.

The Chromecast Ultra

is a receiver for phones

and laptops and depends

on them for control and

content – but it’s simple,

versatile and compatible

with iOS, Android,

Windows and Mac.

4K HDR for under £35

isn’t to be sniffed at. It’s

best suited to Prime

subscribers and Google

apps are absent, but

it’s a very capable and

affordable streamer

With 4K, Dolby Atmos,

Ultra HD Blu-ray and

DIDLUO\FRPSDFWSURĆOH

this is the best Xbox ever.

It’s even more powerful

than the PS4 Pro and

also a great home

entertainment hub.

We love the Switch,

which brings Nintendo’s

great gaming pedigree

to genuinely stylish,

premium-grade

hardware. Forget the

specs: it’s all about the

sheer joy of gaming.

It’s still overkill if you

GRQèWKDYHD.79

but with 2160p HDR

gaming, the PS4 Pro

delivers incredible

visuals and is smoother

and faster than its non-

Pro siblings.

If it were just a soundbar,

the Beam’s great audio

would still make it

top – but with Amazon

Alexa, Apple AirPlay 2

and support for a billion

streaming services, it’s

Despite being a simple

stereo setup (with

integrated subwoofer,

which really does deliver

impressive bass), Sony’s

digital processing claims

to replicate a 7.1.2 Dolby

Atmos surround system.

The S is smaller, whiter

and much cheaper than

its big brother, and while

you don’t get its sibling’s

super-powered specs

you still get Ultra HD
