  • This is the review of the LG SC9S 3.1.3 soundbar system that supports many popular technologies and comes with a wireless subwoofer. I’ve used this soundbar with many different TVs, including C3 OLED for which it was tailor-made. Let’s see what are my impressions after the test.

    I bought this soundbar for 600 CAD considering price and my specific needs (apartment and a not so big room) it’s perfect. Thankfully my ears have not been spoiled yet to truly nitpick the sound quality. Perfect example it blew my mind when you said the sub was lacking.

    hi
    its not hooked up right !!!!! dont use the bluetooth this is why your not getting the full sound
    use the arc and then you will have it loud and powerful and you can clearly hear the back spks ....yes some are hooking them up wrong
    the blue tooth is for only music from your cell phone and you need to mute alexa before when watching movies or tv she will talk

      Hi, /gosman, it will work with hdmi E-arc on any tv that supports it
      So with the C4 you plug it into hdmi 2 and it works as an audio out
      keep an eye on the LG C4's if you are planning to buy one

      Hey - that it correct - soundbar can pass-through the signal from the external device to the TV. It just doesn't support 4K 120 HDR VRR as pointed out just before the conclusion.

    • @TVguyDarko
      @TVguyDarko  6 месяцев назад +1

      Without a doubt I'd get Klipsch. I've been using this soundbar in my living room since I've finished the test and definitely it sounds inferior to my floor-standers that I had before. If you are limited by space, sure, soundbars are a great option, but for me they offer too big compromise when it comes to sound quality.

    I have 55" LG OLED C7 from 2017, and I wonder if the soundbar mounting bracket will fit - the bracket mounting (the rectangular chunky plastic part with 4 screw holes that goes into the tv) looks similar to the stand mounting on my C7, but I have to be sure. My old LG OLED is my pride and joy, and now this soundbar is on sale...

    One call out is that I realized is that using Optical Video has limitations on number of channels supported, I don't think it can support Dolby Atmos, so it would be great to understand those nuances so people set up their cables correctly. eARC still confuses me on how to setup properly
