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.

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.

eMart Nusa Bestari, JB. Promo till end of this month if you wanna redeem the free SJ8.

anyone has experienced an audio sync delay with the tv? My setup is basically PC -> TV HDMI IN -> HDMI ARC -> SJ9 soundbar. Latest firmware was installed. it seems like correcting it using LG's own AV Sync doesnt really fix the problem.

just enable HDMI UHD Deep Color of your PS4 Pro's HDMI input in the setting.

try change the hdmi input first and enable the UHD Deep Color. It's not on by default.

Well be prepared to get the well-known issues of lip-sync delay if you try outputting Dolby Audio from external devices via ARC. 55” are affected.

What kind of problem are you facing with the sound output via ARC?

Anyone manages to get their tv updated to the latest fw 04.70.30 here?

yea, the latest 4.70.30 is supposed to fix broken HDR on YouTube native app, but somehow we are left behind in this region. Korea and US have managed to get it weeks ago.

Standard VESA amount won’t work? If you’re looking for that then plenty of them are available, for example at SenQ, Harvey Norman, and IKEA. Normal electrical shops also bring one.

Typo?

TBM 65" C8 at RM12.5k. Fair pricing? Or could go lower by other shops?

Purchased mine as well the 65" C8 OLED at TBM together with the unreleased Samsung HW-N950 Atmos soundbar without the upcoming SST.

Somehow they let me book the unreleased soundbar as well which is a good thing. Anyway still have to wait the TV to come because apparently these models are kinda sorted after by consumers maybe to save up on the tax but they told me that they already made orders from LG.

Hope I made the correct decision of buying them all now, just to avoid the SST.

Inclusive of extended warranty that I purchased, yes. Apparently they also provide* 2-type of extended warranties, one is cheaper and one is a bit more expensive. Which one you want depends on you. Ask TBM for more info.

They told me this also. Those who bought close to Sept can claim it also from LG. Those who purchased in Aug can try la. Claim- basis only.

Don't know yet la. Wait for the actual promotion to come out, then there's a form you have to fill up and send to LG Malaysia together with your receipt. I bought last year's 55" C7 bundled together with a free LG SJ8 soundbar as well. After that kena wait like 2-3 weeks before they send out the soundbar. But since it's 'free' why not right. LG Malaysia is the one that gives the Soundbar not the shop where you bought it.

SK8 no Atmos one in their Soundbar lineups. Only SK9 and above. If it's free it's ok. Haha

Atmos-supported but simulated only. No idea how that would work when the soundbar itself doesn't have upfiring speakers though those that come with ones, the Atmos effect depends on your house.

Anyway sorry for the off topic here let's stick to the C8 discussion.

Tomorrow SST will come into effect. Some say 6% increase others say 10% increase for electronics.

T&C on how to claim the soundbar. Purchases made from 27th of Aug onwards only, meaning those who bought before 27th, .

Should be good enough for day-to-day usage. Save the budget for future sound system if you need to upgrade the sound later on. Try experience it yourself though at the shop. I listened to the TV speakers and I found it to be not that bad for a very slim tv like the C8. But of course I'd prefer at least a good Soundbar for my own usage. Home theater system is a no go for me in my current living space.

They still gave last year's free Soundbar to those purchased outside of the promo period, but call LG to double confirm la. I don't think it's an issue for them.
