Just bought a 65inch oled LG TV, G4 model, that came with a free soundbar USG 10 T and that costs about £400 in the UK to purchase separately. Bought from an Hi-fi specialist Richer Sounds(Cardiff UK) for £1500 for the TV and soundbar. I've yet to set up the pair, as I'm having acoustic panels fitted behind the TV. My parents have a cheap LG soundbar and that's far better sounding than the Panasonic TV. So anything you can afford is an improvement I think.
FWIW, We have an LG G4 and we have been very happy with it - seeing how thin it is and how snugly it fits against the wall is black magic to me Edit: On Q-Symphony, to put it the other way around, when I was looking for our soundbar, I initially also thought that getting an LG Soundbar would be the way to go to get WOW Orchestra, but then read that it's really more of a gimmick to get people to buy LG bars for their LG TVs, and apparently their soundbars are sub-par. I think a good soundbar will carry you without the help of a TV, so don't focus too much on that if the consensus is that Samsung TVs aren't as good \* shrug \*
Our g4 came with an included special mount
The WOW orchestra is worth it to stick with LG. Normally, when you plug in a soundbar, your TV speakers turn off. WOW Orchestra changes that so the TV speakers and the soundbar work together at the same time. However, have you looked into the S70TY 3.1.1 channel with Dolby Atmos instead of the S60TR? It is still from their 2024 lineup but it has a dedicated up-firing center channel. If you’re a gamer, this setup with your c5 supports 120Hz pass-through, so you won’t lose any of that smooth PS5/Xbox performance. It is in your budget still, usually runs about 350. But its on sale for March Madness promos on lots of sites. I saw it on LG, Best Buy and walts for around 240-296. Maybe your local store you're working with can match that.
