This 3.1.3-channel soundbar with a center up-firing speaker delivers Dolby Atmos and DTS:X through its HDMI eARC output. The single HDMI input supports 4K 60Hz passthrough with Dolby Vision, VRR, and ALLM — but tops out at HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, so there is no 4K 120Hz passthrough for gaming consoles. An optical input provides legacy TV compatibility, and a USB port is available for firmware updates.
LG's flagship 9.1.5-channel soundbar system includes wireless rear speakers and a subwoofer for full room Dolby Atmos coverage. The single HDMI input operates at 18 Gbps bandwidth — enough for 4K 120Hz passthrough at reduced color depth (4:2:0 8-bit) but not full 4K 120Hz 4:4:4. The eARC output handles lossless Atmos and DTS:X audio from your TV. An optical input and USB port round out the wired connections.
