Best praise vs top criticism for LG SN8YG
“There are a lot streaming movies I can hear effects from above on my lg Sn8yg I think a lot of 990c users are correct to state that it’s upfiring speakers are underwhelming, it’s a very common statement. On my LG it’s so clear and glorious, the fun of having an atmos soundbar is to hear sounds coming from where there aren’t speakers”
“I have the LG SN8YG. I know it’s a different sound bar, but perhaps similar circumstances. I’m trying to get mine configured correctly. I’ve been using the movie sound setting and then I just tweaked the bass, treble, and all of that to my liking. Problem is, this morning. I watched something on Peacock that aired last night on NBC. The music was so loud that I could not hear anything else. There were scenes where there was music and there was dialogue over the music and then also just the dialogue itself was quiet. I think I might do a complete set up again on my sound bar. See if some other setting might sound better. Thing is, I’m not really sure how to do that. I should probably note that my source is an Apple TV 4K with Dolby Vision. It also has the one gigabit ethernet port. I’d love to get it set up correctly so that I can watch something live tonight where I don’t have to wonder what they’re saying.”
