    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.

    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

      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
      I have seen a few deals on where this soundbar is included free in the deal

    At 7:01 how do you get that UI to show on the right side during PS5 games.
    Thanks!
    Also btw when using Wow orchestra, so volume level shows properly on TV when adjusting volume? I hate that with other sound bars there is no UI for it anymore when a sound bar is used instead of TV speakers.

    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...

      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.
