LG - S70TR

Hi, I have the same soundbar and TV you have (C1+70tr) and I connected the bar via the earc port on both devices, and on the c1 I did not select any of the two bar control options (there is no real advantage on the two options) just put it on passthru mode, and you will get atmos (you can check on the app what signal your getting) but you have to test it out with a better source, YT its not a good source for testing surround in my opinion. The app also let's you bump up the level on the rear speakers.

I have s70tr+Lg G4 oled tv. Dolby Atmos is so cool. I think its a good choice.

If you want WOW orchestra to be a crucial part of your experience then go the LG. If you don’t care about the feature. See if about the q930d or 990d if you’re able to get a good discount via Samsungs website.

I have an LG C3 65" OLED TV, and I'm looking for a soundbar + wireless subwoofer combo for a room with a very high ceiling. My budget is like $250-$400, so I'm probably looking for deals as they pop up. Is it worth it to get an LG soundbar that supports WOW Orchestra to use the TV's speakers in tandem with the soundbar, or is it better to go with a competitor? The TV is in a location that makes only a soundbar really possible as an option, and I'd like to have satellite speakers if I can but it's probably only in the budget for a soundbar + wireless subwoofer. This is for watching movies and TV, not really for music. I haven't heard the best things about LG's sound systems, so maybe a Samsung would be better for the price despite not using the TV's speakers? Thank you in advance for your recommendations and advice Edit: We went with the S70TR, and I'm happy with it, especially for the price. The front isn't very "stereo" because of the limited spacing a soundbar provides, but it sounds very clear and is better than the TV speakers alone. Having a subwoofer is great, and it has a high enough level that it makes movies sound realistic without being overpowering. The rear speakers are a good supplement to not having spacing for stereo in the front channels. I only really use it for TV and movies, though.

Lg has one for 349 right now. S70tr

Sorry, I meant Best Buy has an LG. I just bought that one for our living room tv. It won’t blow your hair off but it’s really good for what it is.

It's well worth it imo. I upgraded from an lg70tr which is a 5.1.1 system that came out last year to a q990d and its really night and day difference especially with dolby atmos content. The q990d is way way louder, i never turn it up past 30 and that's even too loud for my wife. Unless you have the budget for a true speaker set up this is probably one of the best set ups you can get especially for the value.

Did you end up finding a set up you liked when it came to settings? I’ve got the S70TR and a C2 and I’d love any tips for optimization.

LG S60TR or S70TR would be way better than any of these and you can usually get it for pretty cheap

i love my S95TR, it has phenomenal low ends that are deep but really tight- i genuinely don’t get the hate either! i’ve also had an S70TR and that was easily the best soundbar for under $500 that you can get (or the S80 when it’s on sale lol). there seems to just be a hate train for LG for some reason, i’ve tried many systems and it’s easily my fave

that’s valid- try the Cinema mode, and turn up the Subwoofer and Bass settings (if you haven’t already), i had that set that way when i had an S70TR

you’re much better off paying a bit more and getting an LG S70TR, i made that exact upgrade and the sound quality difference is game changing

the S70TR from LG has been the most solid sounding bar i could find for under $500- highly recommend!!

Samsung Q990D is a recommended soundbar but in my opinion; if you have LG OLED TV like me, LG soundbar would be the best. The reason is LG WOW Orchestra feature. I live in an apartment and the sound passes to the neighbors a lot, they balanced the sound very well with WOW Orchestra, so I can use the soundbar all the time, neighbors are not disturbed.

I was in the same boat as you are, went to the stores to check both. Bought the 600c as it has better sound clarity, but the surround effect is not that good without the rears. Lg s70tr is good, but lacks sound clarity.
