The soundbar itself looks beautiful in combination with the OLED65B7V. What is an absolute disaster is the sound delay of the soundbar itself.
For example, if you listen to any news, after a short pause in the speech, part of the first word is always "swallowed", as if the soundbar needs a moment until it can reproduce the sound correctly (as if it needs to warm up). So absolutely unusable.
The case with the 1st soundbar, returned, received and installed a new one. Again, exactly the same.
Problem has nothing to do with AV-Sync, as the sound is not asynchronous to the picture.
All inputs affected, including Bluetooth with connection to mobile phone.
Software up to date, unfortunately LG customer service does not know the problem.
Extremely tedious, especially since the LG T8 was also ordered, now also unusable.
Too badPro
- looks beautiful in combination with LG T8
Contra
- Sound delay of the soundbar
Design and performance is great
Super soundbar, leaves nothing to be desired. Price/performance is top
Good soundbar but unfortunately with knockout criterion. Too bad
The product itself is actually great and meets all the requirements I have for the product. However, as with other comments here, I have the same problem. As soon as there is no sound for a short time, the soundbar swallows up the next few tenths of a second. It sounds as if only the subwoofer is running at the beginning and the soundbar still has to activate... That's not possible at all, because some dialogues in series or on the news are no longer understandable. That's why I only give it 1 star. Despite the error, the soundbar is still suitable for listening to music via Spotify.
