Google Assistant and Chromecast, Decent Dolby Atmos presentation, Practical, attractive build,
Limited dynamic expression, Bass suffers softness, Imperfect sub and bar integration,
(Image credit: Future)Unfortunately, it's a case of ‘same story, different soundbar' here, with LG impressing with an ideal design and feature list but disappointing in the most crucial area - sound quality.The SL8YG is certainly listenable and makes good...
Google Assistant and Chromecast support, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, Expandable to full surround system
If fact, the LG SL8YG as a whole comes as a pleasant surprise. Like a surprise Bake-Off Showstopper after a dismal technical challenge it's crammed with stuff including a wireless subwoofer, plus Atmos and DTS-X, and topped with a mirror glaze of Google A...
Front-heavy soundstage isn't particularly wide, Fiddly remote control, No rear speakers for full surround,
LG has packed plenty of features into its SL8YG soundbar and sub combo, which offers convenience for getting Atmos into your living room. For "genuine" surround sound the duo is something of a compromise - unless you add the SPK8-S rear speaker package, t...

Easy set up, Google Assistant on board, Wireless and BT options, Decent, powerful 3.1.2 channel sound, Wireless subwoofer, option to add wireless rear speakers, Multiple audio format support
Might be pricey for some at regular price
We reviewed the LG SL8YG 3.1.2 Channel Soundbar at the same time as we reviewed the LG NanoCell SM8600 TV so some of the features were redundant. However, it definitely made a big difference in the sound quality and enjoyment of watching both TV shows and...
Excellent sound quality in Dolby Atmos and Movie mode, Immersive audio works well if you're seated close enough, Supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Chromecast audio delivery
Only one HDMI input, Overhead channels not very effective if you're seated at a normal distance from the screen, Other than Movie mode, other modes sound pretty bad, User interface is somewhat confusing
The SL8YG sounds great in certain circumstances, but not in many others. Plus, it has only one HDMI input, which is unfortunate even though it's common in soundbars...
The LG SL8YG soundbar is a 2.1 movie audio powerhouse that also delivers strong music performance and Google Assistant voice support...
