LG Releases new Soundbar that pairs perfectly with the GX Gallery OLED TVs
LG announced its newest soundbar designed to deliver a home entertainment experience as well as a new level of spatial and stylistic integration with the company’s premium TVs. The LG GX soundbar boasts sound, features and aesthetics designed to complement LG’s GX Gallery OLED series TVs.
The GX soundbar is the perfect visual companion to LG’s artistically-inspired Gallery series OLED TVs. To offer maximum flexibility, the soundbar can be mounted either flush on the wall directly under the TV or supported using the included sturdy steel stand. Measuring 15H x 144.6W x 3.25D cm, the GX soundbar is identical in width and finish to the 65-inch LG GX Gallery series TV. At the core of LG’s gallery design is the philosophy of a complete TV system that can fit harmoniously within a given space – a concept LG’s designers refer to as “adding spatial value.”
LG GX soundbar delivers superior sound thanks to Dolby Atmos and DTX:S for remarkable three-dimensional audio. The speaker is Dolby Vision compatible via 4K pass-through, enabling the best possible picture and sound quality for truly cinematic home viewing. The included subwoofer connects wirelessly to the soundbar to deliver low-frequency bass from anywhere in the room and adding LG’s wireless rear speaker kit (model SPK8, sold separately) delivers even more power and a greater sense of immersion.
The soundbar delivers upgraded user convenience and easy connectivity options including enhanced audio return channel (eARC) and Bluetooth. With its higher bandwidth, eARC provides the full richness of high-resolution audio formats such as Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio while Bluetooth facilitates effortless, ultra quality streaming from a smartphone or tablet.
What’s more, the LG GX soundbar is Hi-Res Audio certified, offering lossless playback at 24bit/96kHz with greater vibrancy and nuance. The speaker produces detailed, natural sound when playing high-resolution audio files or when up-converting conventional audio formats. The built-in LG AI Sound Pro feature analyzes and automatically applies the best sound settings regardless of the content, ensuring maximum listening enjoyment every time.
The new LG GX soundbar will roll out starting this month in Europe, North America, Asia as well as other key markets. Check local retailers for price and exact date of availability.

Yes, TV speakers are horrid, even ones on half-decent brand TV's. They weren't even that good on CRT's when there was a ton more room for them.
I thought, "okay maybe I am getting too old to need nice sound, I'll just use the TV speakers at my PC since I am using onboard sound"
That lasted 2~3 months and I couldn't take it anymore. It was awful, I don't know how anyone can deal with it that isn't deaf, unless they never use the sound or just view the weather report/watch news etc.
So I bought a 700$ Sony home theater system (worth every penny!), and a Creative sound card. I was quite thrilled, again hearing sound I never heard before in my tunes. Every computer I've ever had, has had a Creative sound blaster card in it, I've never been unhappy except the 'X-fi extreme gamer' which was junk, only software driven, lacked 'what u hear' and had tons of driver issues - rest of the x-fi line was worlds better. Even the sound blaster live - while being one of the first Creative cards to lack genuine FM synth chip(s) on it, was pretty good for it's days finally bringing Creative to the PCI market (despite being an Ensoniq Audio PCI with an EMU chip on it, literally would work with Audio PCI drivers 100% perfectly, but Creative bought out Ensoniq in late 1997 so this is no surprise).
There is just so much missing from audio that's played through basic hardware. Having worked with audio production, synthesizers, and so-forth over the last 25 years, I guess I could be classified as 'picky' about audio. Definitely not the average consumer here. Still leaves me to think most people can't hear very well.

That really depends. There are systems like the Sony ST5000 or the Samsung HW-N950/Q90R, that actually rival standalone systems in their price range, and they are much more convenient to setup. It would be impossible to have a "normal" 7.1.4 system in my space, for example, but the HW-N950 fits perfectly with no cable mess, and it sounds fantastic.
