X or DTS-HD Master Audio compatibility. No surround speakers included

Single HDMI only, MusicFlow can be a little hit and miss, not as impressive as a separates Atmos setup, always-on display ("HDMI IN")
Dolby Atmos is the real deal surround sound solution. And that's the main motivation for considering the SJ9 soundbar: because it will bring an added dimension to your movie watching. Atmos use in movies and music is also on the increase, so it's going to...

Very good sound quality, Great with music, Dolby Atmos support, Multi-room capabilities, Attractive design, Well made
No real surround presence, No DTS:X support, Limited HDMI inputs, Remote control could be better
The LG SJ9 Dolby Atmos soundbar is a nicely designed and well made product that boasts a decent set of features including support for the Music Flow multi-room system. The remote control is disappointing, although the Music Flow app is excellent, there's...
Lack of HDMI inputs, Not dynamic enough, Thick and imprecise bass,
