Choosing a new TV is one of the most exciting things you can do for your home. Whether you’re setting up a new living room, creating a personal home cinema or feel it’s time for an upgrade on your old model, it’s a big step forward.

On the quest to find the perfect screen to recreate the cinematic experience at home, it comes down to the battle of the giants. What’s best for a home cinema, a projector or a large TV? There isn’t a concrete, objective answer to this question. Your circumstances, available resources, tastes, personal preferences and intended use play a large role.

When you think of the perfect home cinema, you picture enjoying your favourite new and old films on a grand screen in the comfort of your home, feeling every moment just as you would at the pictures. But it’s not just the stunning visuals and interesting cinematography choices made by directors that immerse us in what we’re seeing; it’s also the sound.

Cranking up your speakers can be fun, but there’s something a bit special about choosing instead to listen through headphones, fully immersed in your own personal musical nirvana.

DACs are everywhere – in your smartphone, TV, Xbox, PC – you probably use one every day, even if you’re not aware of it. They are the omnipresent tech of the 21st Century.

But what is a DAC?...

Cables: the hidden (hopefully!) glue of your Hi-fi system. Cables link everything together, delivering power and transporting your audio. And anything that influences the all-important audio signal matters; cables more than you might think.

You’ve taken the plunge and bought yourself a Hi-fi system. Firstly, congratulations! You’ve made a great decision – a world of musical pleasure awaits. Now what?

Shopping for a home projector has never been easier! However, if you've never bought a projector for a home before, the sheer amount of choice from leading brands and manufacturers can feel overwhelming if you're unfamiliar with them.
