LG - S95QR

I've got an LG S95qr, and it's been great for me. I don't really see the need for anything more.

I’ve got the LG S95QR and dialogue is very clear. Surround performance is also phenomenal for movies, it has a ton of bass, and plenty of volume/headroom. You might be able to find deals on it online since it’s LG’s previous flagship model, otherwise the current version is the S95TR. Q990D also kicks ass, you can’t go wrong with either!

No, they aren’t bad at all, everyone on Reddit just makes it sound like your TV will implode and the foundation of your house will crack if you buy a 4K TV and player and then use anything other than an AVR with wired speakers. I use an LG S95QR with my OLED, and while I’m well aware that it’s not the same as a receiver with separately placed center, left, right, sub, rears, and Atmos drivers installed in my ceiling, it does sound amazing. My space isn’t practical for an AVR/speaker setup, and a lot of people are probably in the same boat, so something like what I have or you have is perfectly fine. I was recently at a buddy’s house for a movie night in his newly built home theater in his basement, and that has the receiver and separate speakers, including ceiling mounted Atmos speakers. It obviously sounded incredible, and I definitely plan on doing something like that in our next house where we’ll have the space, but I also don’t feel shame for having a soundbar/surround setup right now that sounds killer in my living room and still gives me a very immersive and spacious experience when watching a 4K disc. Let your ears do that talking for you, not brow-beaters on Reddit, haha.

I have had the system since day one, and only today I learned how to calibrate this correctly. Neither the stores you buy it from or LG themselves are unable to tell you how to do this. Firstly download the app, set all sp3akers and sub woofer to the lowest setting, then calibrate using the AI option, then start a movie or song and incrementally increase speakers and sub woofer via speaker settings in the app and don't forget to do the same in the EQ icon in the top right, then sel3ct surround on or off depending which you prefer IMO surround on for tv content (sky Q) and surround off for movies with atmos and music. Also I have had very poor results when connect the bar via WiFi, it seems to downgrade the sound quality IMO. Give this a try and then give another review as I think you will be pleasantly surprised 😮 

LG sound bar owner here (S95QR) get the Samsung

I got the S95QR when I bought a TV from LG, which was a nice thing for the LG-TV especially. The contrast between Atmos and non-Atmos bothered me a lot; a lot of the oomph was lost. The Samsung was a little more convincing and Atmos was also a bit more spatial. In the end I stuck with my passive setup even though it takes up more space The Sony are supposed to be the only ones that offer real added value if you use a suitable TV as a center and are actually a very good addition to the system. But I didn't have these or the others not mentioned at home

Yes. You can get an S75QR with subwoofer used on eBay for like $150. Nobody notices a minor ding or dent on a soundbar. I just got an S95TR off eBay and love it. I just ordered an S95QR to upgrade another room too.

I really like my S95TR so much that I bought an S95QR for another property. You can get them on eBay for $500-$900.

I just picked up an LG S95QR this week (model before the S95TR). I’m really happy with it. Especially since I got it brand new in the box for $800

You probably want a jail broken ub820, people tend to recommend 220electronics (i have no personal experience with them yet). Obligatory, a wired sound system is best. But, I run the LG S95QR, offers a decent enough 5.1 experience (says atmos on tin, but that depends on dynamics of room/setup), the soundbar on it’s own offers a satisfying sound if you don’t want to stretch to the 5.1 setup. The model is a few years old now, so expect there is a newer equivalent.

Get one of the LG dolby atmos imax soundbars, they're designed to integrate with your LG OLED much better

on atmos and dix definately not a gimmick , I have the LG s95 3 upfirers on the soundbar , and two upfirers on the rears as well as 2 side firing , 4 front firing and a subwoofer, massive difference
