Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Very impressive for size

Saia99950 11/23/2023

I bought the sound bar for a sanyo TV and couldnt use it as the TV didnt have an optical input. I felt the sound bar was well built from the weight and quality appearance so I decided to keep the sound bar and bought a LG 86in. TV and use it. When I connected the sound bar I was impressed with the sound quality and a very nice bass addition. Wether its music or a movie you will hear everything happening.

Bluetooth subwoofer continually loses connection.

Disconnected 9/24/2023

I have had this sound bar system with bluetooth subwoofer approximately 6 months and have had trouble with the subwoofer bluetooth intermittently losing connection the entire time even after sending it in to LG for repair twice. The Bluetooth subwoofer unit was completely replaced and it took no more than 15 minutes to hear it dropping out again despite placement of the subwoofer... in front to the side to the other side ...all within 10 feet of the main unit. If they had a cable connection option I would be fine with that but no luck. I dont want to listen to this any more.

Easy set-up Good Quality Sound

vic1019 2/13/2023

Wife and I bought this about 6 months ago and it was working perfectly fine. Until one day the bass started going out mid-shows. Not sure what caused it but fortunately we were still within the warranty period. We sent the sound bar along with the sub-woofer to LG to get it repaired. The process was seamless and fast. The repaired product is already on its way back and I cant wait to have it again.

Excellent sound

Max Az 2/9/2023

I have always wanted a sound bar but I went a step further and got one with a subwoofer and so glad I did. The sound is amazing and I really like that either remote work for the tv and the sound bar. It was extremely easy to connect and now I even like hearing the commercials since they sound so great. I was also happy with the cost as well.

Not quite what you would hope for.

cuddlelyk 1/9/2023

Nothing can take the place of a real surround system with speakers in the wall and this system is just barely better than the speakers that came with the Television itself. I tried to get the rear speakers to help with the cause but LG apparently has run out of them cant get them or has other delays that make them unavailable anywhere......not even with LG itself.
