hello, i'm interested to buy atmos soundbar...
most of the time i watched downloaded movies from my pc to my LG TV..

in order to enjoy atmos, how should i configure them?
just connect hdmi from PC to TV, and connect HDMI from TV to Soundbar?
or i also need atmos capable TV?

my current non atmos setup is hdmi cable from PC to TV, audio cable from TV to speakers..

thanks for helping!

HDMI from PC to SoundBar HDMI-IN.

SoundBar HDMI ARC to TV HDMI ARC.

Only this connection let you enjoy Atmos.

So make sure you get a SoundBar that is Atmos capable and also support 4K HDR pass-through.

Another thing to take note is to make sure your PC capable of 4K and HDR, if you want to playback 4K with HDR.

LG SK9Y better sound is not because of Dolby Atmos. I don't watch much in Dolby Atmos also, but I watch a lot title in lossless sound track.

One is 5.1.2 sound with total of 8 speakers, another is 2.1 sound and if not wrong only 3 speakers, they is differences there.

But both is worth to get in my opinion, just remember don't get the LG SK8Y, that one is not that good in sound output.

okay, but hvnt get to test SK9Y yet so not sure. Because price between these 2 are 1400 vs 2100

I am casual user, mostly watch youtube, drama, movie, play PS4 and listen spotify which hardly have any dobly atmos or even DTS:X so i think i dont need to look at LG SK9Y.

Then Yamaha YAS-207 will be sufficient for my usage already since it support 4K HDR pass-through for my PS4 pro. It also got 1 HMDI In | 1HDMI Out | 1 Optical In | 1 Analog In, look pretty much sufficient for me to connect PS4 pro, TV box and TV.

Andrewtst, thanks for your explanation and very useful info. Appreciate your help so much. Cheers :thumbsup:

Lol now need to source where to get the most value worth Yamaha YAS-207

I think i saw online Rm 13xx for YAS-207, i think that is the cheapest i saw.

I go Mid Valley outlet. Unless I see wrong price.

But Mid Valley do have LG SK9Y. I didn't test there as I am not from KL, Just coincidence I at there last week. I only test the Yamaha one that day.

I haven't heard the sound quality, so won't comment on that. But feature wise, the Samsung does not have a HDMI ARC port. At this price point, it is probably not an issue though.

I think all the soundbar are very compact, the Samsung subwoofer is a passive subwoofer and is relatively small. Not those big ass subwoofer i think, so just choose the one with the sound you feel best without worrying about size.

thanks for the opinion

just wanna update, I end up buying the Samsung 150W 2.1Ch Flat Soundbar HW-K350/XM for a mere RM300 at lazada.. free shipping somemore (senheng store)
it was listed at RM330 + further discount with store voucher
the additional discount given was the decider... since everywhere else I looked this soundbar is sold at a much higher price than this laugh.gif
still waiting for it to arrive though

I think this one one mahal right?

Honestly, the best soundbar i have heard is the Yamaha YSP series 5600 or something, the mid range 2700 also very good. The sound beam projection is amazing, the surround effect better than my 5.1 setup. But you must have proper room with reflective walls.

What Dolby Atmos DTS:X soundbar also no fight.
