Soundbars are an incredible option for televisions that do not offer the desired sound you need.\u00a0Currently there is an extensive catalog of these equipment<\/strong>\u00a0, therefore, it is vital to import the one that best suits our needs.\u00a0Today we are going to thoroughly analyze what the\u00a0LG GX Sound Bar<\/strong>\u00a0offers us\u00a0.<\/p>\n

LG GX is considered one of the interesting ones for this year,\u00a0since it has a fairly high power<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Of course, the value of the\u00a0LG GX Sound Bar is<\/strong>\u00a0around 1,000 euros, therefore, we must be careful and know its operation well before purchasing it, since as you can see, its acquisition requires a strong investment.<\/p>\n

Design of the LG GX SoundBar<\/h3>\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Sleek, modern design that easily fits into any given location<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As expected,\u00a0LG<\/strong>\u00a0gives us a simple, but elegant design that combines perfectly with any environment where it is placed.\u00a0To begin with,\u00a0it comes in a black color that gives it a more shiny appearance<\/strong>\u00a0, in addition, it has a compact size that allows us to move it with ease and position it in the way that suits us.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a placement recommendation, we must say that the front or bottom of the TV usually looks perfect.\u00a0This way we get a more enjoyable view,\u00a0although that also depends on the size of the TV<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0If we turn the bar we will notice a simple elaboration that offers us only the available connectors.<\/p>\n

We can’t really go into much depth about the appearance that it has, since as we mentioned it is simple and it is usually the same with most bars.\u00a0However,\u00a0the simplicity in its preparation is what makes it stand out<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0show a good design<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Another minimal detail that we also like is that it has a resistant construction in its materials.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

Nor are we going to have a great variety of connectors, in fact, only those that are considered essential are implemented.\u00a0Here we find an\u00a0HDMI 2.1 input (HDCP 2.3)<\/strong>\u00a0and an\u00a0HDMI 2.1 output (HDCP 2.3)<\/strong>\u00a0that end up being the most important, since by this means we will be able to connect and enjoy the audio output of any device that supports this type of connection.\u00a0Although it is normally used with televisions.<\/p>\n

It also has a\u00a0USB<\/strong>\u00a0port\u00a0that allows us to play music from an external memory or disk.\u00a0It turns out to be a connection that is usually quite busy as well.\u00a0As you can see, they do not include too many ports and in this case it seems correct, since this way they provide us with a better bar space.\u00a0At a wireless level we will find\u00a0Bluetooth 4.0<\/strong>\u00a0to perform the aforementioned activities but without using any cable.<\/p>\n

Sound quality<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0LG GX Sound Bar<\/strong>\u00a0offers us a really powerful home theater sound, since it gives us a great combination of audio thanks to the bar plus subwoofer combo that they have a lot to offer.\u00a0It has 3.1 channels that seek to give us a completely surround sound<\/strong>\u00a0that is complemented with first-rate technologies.<\/p>\n

The options that we highlight the most are\u00a0Dolby Vision<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Dolby Atmos<\/strong>\u00a0that will show us how powerful sound can be.\u00a0With both technologies we are going to receive a totally immersive audio that is originally created for the cinema,\u00a0this is paired with height channels that point upwards to achieve each note<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

This also offers us the possibility of listening with total clarity to the dialogues that are normally the main problem with televisions.\u00a0Best of all, there will be no distortion as is often the case with other soundbars<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0In short, we are going to receive powerful and shocking audio that will flow smoothly around us.<\/p>\n

We cannot forget that we also have\u00a0high resolution audio<\/strong>\u00a0that takes the sound to the next level, since it sounds closer to the real thing.\u00a0This is because we receive higher sample rates and bit depths that are higher and offer us audio quality that surpasses CDs.\u00a024-bit \/ 192kHz audio is achieved<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

User experience<\/h3>\n
\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It is a fairly powerful bar that allows us to enjoy movies and video games in their highest splendor<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There is not much more to say about the\u00a0LG GX Sound Bar<\/strong>\u00a0, since as we can see it offers us incredible audio quality.\u00a0Obviously the final experience will be almost perfect because with everything it implements it is close to the original sound, which is perfect mainly for\u00a0movies<\/strong>\u00a0,\u00a0series<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0video games<\/strong>\u00a0that require more power.<\/p>\n

As final recommendations we can mention that it is an ideal bar for televisions 65 inches up, however, it\u00a0turns out to be the perfect complement if you have an LG OLED TV<\/strong>\u00a0, since it was designed especially for those models.\u00a0However, we have tested it with other teams and the result does not end up being so different.<\/p>\n
