In addition to the flagship\u00a0\u00a0S95QR,\u00a0\u00a0LG\u00a0\u00a0introduced three more affordable models –\u00a0\u00a0S90QY\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0S80QY\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0S75Q\u00a0.\u00a0All of them support\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0DTS:X\u00a0surround formats , and the first two additionally support\u00a0IMAX Enhanced\u00a0, which is new for devices from this manufacturer.<\/p>\n
A distinctive feature of the new soundbars, as well as in the case of the flagship, is the introduction of a central height channel.\u00a0This solution, used for the first time in the world, is designed to improve the surround sound effect.<\/p>\n
The S90QY\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0S80QY\u00a0\u00a0, and\u00a0\u00a0S75Q\u00a0\u00a0offer\u00a05.1.3\u00a0,\u00a03.1.3\u00a0, and\u00a03.1.2\u00a0channel configurations and power outputs of\u00a0570W\u00a0,\u00a0480W\u00a0, and\u00a0380W\u00a0, respectively.<\/p>\n
New items have the same layout “soundbar + subwoofer”.\u00a0In addition,\u00a0\u00a0S90QY\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0S80QY\u00a0\u00a0can optionally be equipped with rear speakers for an additional fee.<\/p>\n
All three devices support\u00a0\u00a0HDMI 2.1\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0eARC\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0VRR\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0ALLM technologies\u00a0, however, they are not capable of passing a\u00a04K \/ 120Hz signal\u00a0from game consoles to a TV.\u00a0This means that PlayStation 5 owners will have to connect it directly to their TV and use the TV's free eARC socket (if available) for the soundbar for best results.<\/p>\n
Other new features include room acoustic calibration, support for\u00a0Amazon Alexa\u00a0and\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0voice assistants , improved integration with compatible\u00a0\u00a0LG\u00a0\u00a0TVs through\u00a0\u00a0AI Sound Pro\u00a0technology .<\/p>\n
And if you want the new soundbars to receive high-definition (lossless) audio up to\u00a07.1.4\u00a0wirelessly, then\u00a0\u00a0LG\u00a0\u00a0offers to purchase\u00a0\u00a0a Wowcast WTP3\u00a0transmitter for this purpose for a fee.<\/p>\n
