LG launched their new line-up of OLED TVs a few weeks ago. While the other Korean giant is moving away from OLED TVs, this one stays true to the path of OLED. Of course, we all know the benefits of LED based displays. They produce better colours, better contrasts, and overall a much better image quality. There is a reason why the best HDR and colour accurate displays in the world are LED based technologies.
The GX Gallery OLED Series TV, as they know it is their premium range of televisions. But Televisions are just that big displays that transmit video data to its users Televisions have also just grown into the years in size, but not in thickness. This just means that the OLED TVs will come with less powerful speakers that they deserve.
That is why you usually get a soundbar or speaker system to pair with your TV. Well, when I say speaker systems; these days, you only need a single soundbar. For LG’s new OLED TV line-up, it has to be LG’s new GX Soundbar.
This is not a regular soundbar, not like that at all. This is LG’s most premium soundbar to be seated with the new GX OLED TVs. If you have seen the Senheiser’s premium soundbar, this is just slightly smaller. That means you want to mount your TV a little higher than usual to avoid this interfering with your view.
You would want this for your TV though, believe me. You get the benefit of both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for a wholesome cinematic experience. But it is not just a cinematic experience you are getting, you are getting a virtual 3D surround audio through just one soundbar set.
Of course, you connect this soundbar to the TV via an eARC cable as usual. Either that, or you can connect it to your tablet or smartphone via Bluetooth connection. That also means that this can be your living room’s music player too.

You get the benefit of using the soundbar to turn your living room into your music listening studio too with Dolby’s True HD and DTS Master Audio support via Bluetooth connection. Then there is the fact that this is a Hi-Res Audio certified speaker with 24bit/96kHz playback support. The built-in LG AI Sound Pro also analyses your contents and decides the best settings to play your audio for the best experience every time.
The LG GX Soundbar will start rolling out this month onward in the global markets. Unfortunately, Malaysia will not be getting the product at this time. Our good neighbours in Singapore is getting it though, never say never.
