To celebrate our 250th issue, we take a look back at the technologies and movies that have shaped home cinema over the 20 years since HCC first hit the shelves.

Looking towards the future, we pit a trio of forward-thinking Ultra HD TVs from LG, Samsung and Sony against one another in our grouptest to see which should be crowned the king of 4K! 

Take a tour of the UK's finest home cinemas and movie dens as we reveal the cream of the custom install crop crop from this year's CEDIA Award winners!

We're also giving one lucky reader the chance to win an Acoustic Energy 1-Series floorstanding 5.1 loudspeaker array, worth £1,200!

Also in the issue: Blu-ray Disc Association boss spills the beans on Ultra HD Blu-ray; Sony explains why its shunning Dolby Atmos and DTS:X in favour of multiroom audio; Panasonic's TX-50CX700 LCD TV delivers 4K and Firefox for under £1,000; Sony's STR-DN860 entry-level 7.2 channel AV receiver; PMC's premium Twenty Series 5.1 speaker package; Libratone's stylish Diva soundbar; Pioneer's over-achieiving BDP-LX58 Blu-ray player; QNAP's living room-friendly TS-453mini NAS Bluesound's versatile multiroom system.

Plus all the usual opinion, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show.
