I have joined the lg oled family. Awesome TV with lots of apps and the remote is so advance compare with normal remote.

Only complaint is the sound of it is a bit flat. I am looking to buy a speaker or soundbar for the TV.

Any suggestions? Atm I am eyeing on sonos soundbar. Any thoughts?

guys, i have a question. thinking of buying the LG OLEDC755T and the LG SJ9 Atmos soundbar, for the Atmos effect. If i connect the TV HDMI2 (ARC) directly to the LG SJ9 HDMI OUT (TV ARC), will I get the Atmos effect? without any external BluRay device or Xbox One for example.

Not sure why you want to waste money on a soundbar... but to answer question:

1) No, you won't get any Atmos material from the TV because there are no online streaming sources that currently has Atmos. Even if there is, eARC is needed and at this point in time, it's not clear yet if HDMI 2.0 can be firmware updated to include eARC.

2) Yes you will need an external device and a source material that actually has the Atmos track for the soundbar to decode it.


Buying Atmos for the sake of Atmos is like buying a 4k TV for the sake of 4k. It goes hand in hand.

Thanks for your response. However since my question was unanswered here yesterday and I really needed the answer, I did some readings in regards to my own question and surprisingly it does support Dolby Atmos through HDMI ARC in the form of DD+. LG OLED 2017 can do this over the HDMI ARC, however when doing Atmos through Dolby True HD (via BluRay disc) then it isn’t supported as mentioned by you, it’ll be supported when HDMI Rev2.1 is supported by tv manufacturers via eARC or I can, reroute it via external device via normal HDMI IN on the TV itself. My planned setup is fairly simple as most of my Atmos materials can only output Atmos tracks at 48kHz in the form of DD+, via a PC. The soundbar alone personally is really basic, with one HDMI IN and one HDMI OUT (ARC) and better Atmos soundbars eg; Sony or Yamaha YSP5600 costs absurdly high.

Anyway, I don’t really fancy thousands of ringgit on Atmos HT setup alone and i know a proper setup could cost thousands of ringgit, after some reading on the reviews of the SJ9, maybe a slight taste of Atmos in the form of a soundbar suits my style and budget more.

Took the plunge just now and bought an OLED 55” C7 at RM7999 with the free LG SJ8 soundbar and bought the SJ9 for the sake of experiencing Atmos. Not a proper setup for Atmos but for normal people like me, it might be enough already for now.

Congrats on your purchase.
I stand corrected. I just checked Netflix and they do have some shows with DD+ tracks.

Upfiring speakers require a low ceiling (no more than 10ft), it must be completely flat and be reflective. With upfiring speakers, the MLP is also only confined to a single spot and a limited one at that.

You cant "upscale" SDR. The term upscale should be used on resolution like upscale a FHD to 4K. Anyway, i get your question but you need to understand the different between SDR vs HDR. HDR is using 10bit (12bit for DV) for color reproduction on display panel. When your source is only SDR (8bit), the panel will just display in SDR mode. You/movie producer will need to remaster the SDR content to HDR content in the source for display panel to actually shows the HDR content.

Sorry for the confusing.
Yup what i mean is the function like below

Contrast booster for HDR-like viewing
LG's HDR Effect uses unique image processing that transforms standard dynamic range content to emulate HDR quality by boosting the contrast for an HDR-like viewing experience.

Is that possible for that model in the link i provide previously?

If that is what you want then it is supported based on LG official site:
http://www.lg.com/my/tvs/lg-55UJ652T

but i doubt you will see much improvement since the panel used is inferior. Since you ask in OLED forum i would suggest you buy OLED laugh.gif
