NOW’S THE TIME TO GET READY FOR THE NEXT-GEN CONSOLES

THE SOUNDBAR

SAMSUNG HW-Q70T SOUNDBAR

The Q70T soundbar delivers outstandingly powerful Dolby Atmos or DTS:X sound from its 330W, six-channel soundbar/wireless subwoofer setup. The main reason it’s made our gaming system, though, is its Game Pro mode. This adds Atmos-like effects to non-Atmos game soundtracks, putting you at the heart of the gaming world and emphasising subtle details, making it easier to hear enemies sneaking up on you.

This makes it the perfect partner for a screen as cutting edge as the LG OLED48CX. Especially as this set carries built-in Dolby Atmos sound and, unlike the PS5, the Series X will be supporting Dolby Atmos for some of its biggest games.

THE TV

LG CX

No TV is better equipped to meet the demands of today’s video gamers than LG’s 48-inch OLED48CX. This is still 4K despite its gaming-friendly size, and its contrast-rich OLED screen does a stunning job with today’s HDR games. All its HDMIs, too, support the 4K/120Hz

Editor’s Letter
Sometimes the world gives you a signal it’s time for some new tech. That might be getting a bumper pay cheque or the kicking off of a new sale. For me, the real clue was my Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con sticks starting to drift like a butterfly in a wind
