Today we're taking a look at the new 2024 LG S95TR Dolby Atmos Soundbar. We'll talk specs and features and talk about why even at it's premium price tag, it falls short of expectations and is one you should pass on.

    Did you keep the "Surround Sound Setting" under the "Settings by Speakers" menu on while testing? Looking at your footage it looks like this was kept on... It needs to be off for the soundbar to work correctly. Keeping that on will play all audio through all speakers at the same time which sounds terrible. I just got the S95QR and it sounds phenomenal as long as that's off. It only took a few quick searches online so see other owners saying to do this.

    if you don't need the D 2024 model, get the C. the D model from what I can tell has: google assist, 4k 120 passthrough mainly are the reasons why you'd choose the D model over the C 2023 model.

  • @nickxcore74

    The LG S95TR needs a led display on the front to actually help users know what mode the soundbar is in and what type of connection it’s using. Yes I know they can be distracting, but it’s not hard to put an option to turn the LED display off once you’ve got it set to your desired settings. It’s ridiculous that LG can’t get the basics like this right. I’m going for the Samsung S990D, it’s the better soundbar and it seems more user friendly.

    Yea I've reviewed a few soundbars now and always find myself using my phone app vs the remote which is maybe what they have in mind? That's a double edged sword in some cases because I've had apps not work as they should and have trouble connecting to the soundbar.

    According to someone that just unboxes the sound bar? Till someone would bother to test and properly review the new line of soundbars is still a draw between these two. Samsung has a good Dolby Atmos representation but LG has a better soundstage. And blasting Samsung at full volume would show how crappy it is at least LG put some quality drivers in their soundbar. Anyway if someone would look to have Dolby Atmos would not buy a soundbar and here Samsung got it with the mainstream and hypermarketing. Their soundbar is just hypermarketed, nothing more nothing less. Blasting full volume show how crappy it is... 11 channels vs 9 can't even be compared but you are a little fan boy...
