It's time to take a break from all the reading on What Hi-Fi? and instead relax with the very medium that we so often talk about - video. 

We've brought you reviews, features and advice on how to set-up a great home cinema of today but what about the home cinemas of tomorrow? What is the future of home cinema?

It's a tough one to tease out but here to extrapolate from what we know today are three of What Hi-Fi?'s finest. Join the team for a little over half an hour as they discuss the likes of modular TVs, disappearing speakers and portable projectors that an offer an instant big screen experience any time, any place.

Go and make yourself a hot drink, pop on your headphones and do an honest 30 minutes slacking from work. It's been a long week. You deserve it.
