Make sure to do a bit of research if those models got dolby atmos audio delay when gaming. I am using cheap entry 2021 Samsung Q600A with my LG CX and I get very noticeable audio delay on my Series X when Dolby Atmos is turned on. I know at least a person with 2020 Q950T does the same thing also. Watching movies then no problem.

Since i'm using LG C1, i'm wondering to get back LG also for better performance , i'm eyeing on a 2nd hand LG SN11R I am using the soundbar via HDMI eARC with LG CX, added 2 rear wireless speakers and still very lackluster to be honest. The upfiring atmos speakers will only work well if you have a low and flat ceiling. Like the others mentioned, soundbar will never beat full HT setup so just get a decent range should be okay. I think Q800C is good enough for your room. This post has been edited by Kahlamx: Mar 15 2024, 10:00 PM cycheah liked this post
