LG - S80TR Home Theater Soundbar

Check your local FB Marketplace and eBay for new listings of LG S80TR and S90TR. A lot of people (myself included) got a LG OLED + Soundbar deal during Black Friday but have no use of the soundbar. I sold my brand new S80TR within your price range. Plus, since it's a LG soundbar, it goes nicely with your C3 using the WOW Orchestra feature.

IMO the S80TR is the best bang for your buck considering your C3. You could look into shipping options from eBay or even FB. Shipping probably costs an additional $60. Bottomline is, the lowest price for the S80TR is $450 directly from LG during sales. There may be additional discount codes if you chat with an LG online rep. The time-money trade-off will be up to you... Good luck! Also, [rtings.com](http://rtings.com) has good info, in case you haven't checked.

Have the S80TR that I use with my 48" C4 & PC. Love it. Fits my desk and TV/monitor perfectly. I got mine at a reasonable price at $449 on sale. The rear speakers make a big difference

For my 48” C4 I use the S80TR for mostly playing games. My main media room I still use my old S90QY soundbar and I purchased the rear speakers before they discounted them. It’s not a huge room it made sense to not go the “top of the line” route.

I just got an S80TR and I really like it. I'm not in it for the Atmos because I suspect it's just a gimmick but it does a good job creating room from filling around at a decent price.

I had the same requirements as you, and I said "screw it, if I'm spending all this money on a TV, bluray player, 4k movies, ect" I might as well spend a couple hundred more on average sound. I went with the 'LG S80TR', once I figured out I needed a phone app to balance the sound and did so, it's amazing. I'm absolutely not a sound guy which probably helps, but it's very impressive to me.

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.

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.
