There's also an optical input and a USB port. Physical hookups are one HDMI input (with 4K HDR passthrough including Dolby Vision) and an HDMI (ARC) output. You'll also find a key to cycle through sound modes вЂ“ Movie, Music, ASC, Standard and Bass, plus channel level control, which is useful to boost the centre or overhead channels. The handset is mid-sized, with large keys for volume, function (source) and mute.

There's also Google Chromecast and Bluetooth provision. The G appending the soundbar's model number denotes it integrates Google Assistant, allowing it to be used to control other Google gadgets in your home. It feels a little less solid and well put together than the 'bar, too. LG's bassmaker features a 7in front-firing woofer (ported to the rear) and looks a little more nondescript, with three sides covered in black cloth and a blank, grey top plate. Power is rated at 440W, but this includes the 220W built into the wireless subwoofer. The front channels each get a tweeter and midbass, while the Atmos units are single full-range 2.5in affairs.

A front LED display sits to the right of centre (because that's where the centre channel driver is).

The 'bar looks much like LGs of yore, with its twin upfiring drivers prominent on the left and right ends of a grey chassis with wraparound mesh grille and round edges. That's not to say it doesn't have the attributes to join a larger set. The SL8YG is, at just over a metre wide, targeted at TVs beginning at 49in. While price will effect what LG soundbar you might plump for, so will size. New is Meridian Upmixer, designed to tailor stereo music content to the bar's three-channel presentation. Once again this year LG has roped in UK sound brand Meridian Audio for collaboration on its home cinema products, only we're told the relationship runs deeper than before, beyond mere sound-tuning. Sandwiched between is the SL9YG, which doesn't offer a centre channel but retains the surround drivers for a 4.1.2 effect. Considering you can still add LG's SPK8 wireless surround speakers as an optional extra for ВЈ150, and get a native five-channel flatbed, you might consider this 'bar the better option. This smaller sibling does away with side-firing drivers for a 3.1.2 implementation, and offers a cash saving of up to ВЈ500. That would be the SL10YG, a 5.1.2-channel design.

It's mid-range, and not LG's biggest offering in 2019. LG's SL8YG is one of the latter вЂ“ a ВЈ700 soundbar/sub combi with cinematic immersion on its mind. There's plenty of choice too, from budget models to Dolby Atmos power pushers.
