LG CineBeam HU80K: A 4k Laser Projector That Gets It
LG  |  Jul 02, 2018
All boxes checked: no compromises here

Like the selfie-attracting center-piece at the latest hip boutique gallery, the LG HU80K was a piece that was difficult not to pay some attention to at the CES 2018. The attention-hungry black box gradually built up enough buzz during the expo, and eventually won the coveted CES® 2018 Best of Innovation Award.

Here are 10 — five AV receivers and five speaker systems — that are worth a look. All are Sound & Vision Top Picks. Yes, some are older models and a couple are even discontinued, so they won’t be of great interest to those who live on the cutting edge…but it’s hard to ignore those prices. If not for your main system, there might be something here for that second system down the hall or the one in the basement. Or maybe your vacation home. Happy hunting.
