![]() Read more: DTS:X vs Dolby Atmos vs DTS Play-Fi As is often the case, it comes down to personal taste.Ītmos is more widely supported – by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, among others – and most modern TVs are compatible with it, whereas DTS:X requires a separate audio system. But Atmos claims to be more advanced, and capable of producing a higher quality sound at a lower bitrate. DTS:X is encoded in a higher bitrate so should technically be better quality audio. These rival technologies are both audio compression technologies that create a surround sound effect both in cinemas and in the home. Read the full review: Hisense U9DG Dual Cell Android TVĭTS:X and Dolby Atmos are the main home cinema audio formats. While the sound could be a bit more balanced and extra attention could’ve been given to the lower registers, this is still an incredibly loud TV that should help even the hardest of hearing among us to understand what characters are saying on the screen. It’s helpful to give a faux-surround sound experience using just the built-in speakers and could easily generate enough sound for folks who may be reluctant to buy a separate soundbar. Where we have to give the U9DG some credit is by placing speakers and woofers all over the back and bottom of the screen. That can be tweaked in the sound settings on Android TV, but know that the default isn’t completely balanced. The way Hisense tuned the TV out of the box focuses mostly on the mid and upper registers that create a lot of vocal clarity, but not a lot of bass slam. Thanks to its forward- and backward-firing speakers located at the bottom and top of the TV, the U9DG creates a literal wall of sound that, even at low levels, fills the entire room. ![]() The Hisense U9DG is easily one of the loudest TVs we’ve tested in the last year. It’s essentially a hi-fi system that happens to have a TV attached – and an Ambilight TV at that! The speaker enclosure takes design cues from B&W’s critically-acclaimed speaker range, with the tweeter grilles resembling those developed for B&W’s 800 Series Diamond range – while the bass enclosure is ported to the rear and uses Flowport technology, as developed by Bowers & Wilkins for its core loudspeakers. The Philips OLED+935 certainly looks the part. So whether it’s sitting on a TV cabinet, or wall-mounted, you can rest assured you’ll get the best possible sound quality. You can select different audio modes depending on how you place the TV, too. It’s compatible with Dolby Atmos-encoded audio, and it will even up-mix non-Atmos multi-channel content too, giving older content three-dimensional immersion. Throw in four 50mm midrange drive units, a racetrack-style subwoofer unit, and twin upward-firing Dolby Atmos ‘Elevation’ units mounted on the top of the enclosure, and you’ve got a complete audio package. The tweeter-on-top design – used in B&W’s high-end speakers – means the tweeter is kept separate from the speaker enclosure, eliminating interference from other speaker parts. This is part of Philips’ OLED+ range, which means it has a speaker enclosure made by legendary British hi-fi firm Bowers & Wilkins – and it’s been redesigned for even better audio performance. It’s a shame about the high price – as ever, though, you get what you pay for. Indeed, in our five-star review, we praised the HZ2000’s “genuinely immersive sound performance out of the box”, singling out the height and width of its soundstage as particularly deserving of mention.Ĭombined with Dolby Atmos audio tech, it makes for a truly immersive listening experience, and one of the best audio performances of any TV yet. The 140W configuration is identical to last year’s Panasonic GZ2000, apart from the Technics tuning. Also onboard are front-firing upwards speakers to direct the sound more towards the viewer, rather than aimlessly spaffing it into the air. The built-in 360 Soundscape Pro sound system is tuned by Technics, providing Hi-Fi quality sound for all your films, games, TV shows and music content. Panasonic owns the Technics audio brand (every DJ’s favourite), and it’s put that know-how to good use on this set.
