Admittedly, there’s precious few 4K/120fps titles available, or screens that can support it, but that will change. Of course, the true value of this lone fat HDMI pipe is that it’s also able to handle which is the optimum video output of the Sony PS5 and Xbox Series X. We know that because there’s an HDMI input explicitly labelled 8K, complete with corresponding input on the remote control. The feature set of the AVC-X4700H is forward facing. There’s also eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel), a phono input for vinyl enthusiasts, two component video inputs, a selection of analogue audio and video connections, plus two independent subwoofer outputs.įeatures – All key HDR bases are covered and set-up is sophisticated

There’s support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG alongside 4:4:4 Pure Colour subsampling and BT.2020 pass-through. That means you could manage a projector and screen in one room, and still have the option to feed video to a second room. The X4700H generously offers eight HDMI inputs, one of which is 8K capable, with three HDMI outputs. In time honoured fashion, two rotary dials flank the display, and there’s a pull down fascia flap hiding HDMI and USB access. Available in either black or silver, the chassis is a dual-layer design, a key difference from the cheaper AVC-3700H. It tips the scales at 12.7kg, and build quality is reassuringly substantial. Design – Reassuringly built, but there are HDMI issues we need to talk aboutĭesign wise, this AVC is unapologetically brutalist, with its sharp lines and squared off corners, but we can live with that.
