the top-mounted buttons are hard to see -
bass was a little more exaggerated than the LG made it
The prices are constantly shifting on the LG
The buttons on top of the bar are really hard to read
the LG sounded a bit muddled
no presence from the rear
and no sense of surround envelopment
lack of a centre speaker might initially be thought of as a
lack of any rear speakers means there is no sense of surround envelopment
loss of control to be a disadvantage
It may not display this or other websites correctly
LG falls short in more basic sonic areas
its performance is poor
you can only adjust the bass and treble when using the remote
Dimensions - Satellites There are no satellites in this setup
Room correction is only available via the companion app
its height performance is poor
really generate sounds behind you
the connections are rather limited
it only has one HDMI input
lack of a dedicated centre speaker
seems slightly over-priced when compared to the competition
you will only have to set it to output audio through the optical port

lacking was obviously in the surround activity
audio is heavily processed in this mode the sound sometimes felt strange and artificial
