part of a growing trend in home cinema the LGS j9 is a Dolby Atmos sound bar it's capable of generating overhead effects in the newest movies it has two dedicated drivers on top which bounce sound off the ceiling at you at 750 dollars the LG is now the cheaper sound bar we've seen with the technology and it adds some features the Samsung rival doesn't have first up is chromecast built-in which lets you stream music from your phone or laptop to one or multiple speakers as well as from with Google home speaker secondly the LG can stream audio from your LG TV over Bluetooth the sound bar can also pass a 4k HDR signal and decode Dolby true HD and high res music but sadly DTS support is limited to DTS surround given that the main speakers are located in this thin two and a quarter inch high front panel the sound relies heavily on support from the 12-inch square wireless sub this makes the sub Barry directional and so you need to place it as close to the sound bar as you can otherwise it can sound bumi and make music sound very disjointed FX movies though they sound great the illusion of height is rather good and the subwoofer is capable excellent slam if you want dedicated surround effects you can also buy a separate surround package for a reasonable 130 bucks as good as a sound bar is though and its price you're probably better off with the more refined sounding Samsung hwk 850
