Cant beat disc.

The defintive way to watch this movie. Disc picture versus streaming is not a fair comparison. Picure quality and bitrate is unparalleled the time of writing this.

It's a comedic carol of calamities as only the Griswold family can deliver as Clark (Chevy Chase) has his heart set on hosting an old-fashioned family Christmas. But he may change his mind when faced with a house full of bickering relatives, malfunctioning decorations, and uncertainty over his Christmas bonus. And what holiday celebration would be complete without the boorish Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid)? Beverly D'Angelo, Juliette Lewis, Johnny Galecki, Julia Louis-Dreyfus also star. 97 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Buy physical while you can

This movie is great in a 4k format, buy physical. There are no comparisons to owning a disc versus streaming it. No color banding , no pixelation from speed throttling and no one is going to come to your house and take it away from you.

Sound effects are in full effect with audio coming at you from every angle with 5.1.2. channels, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Built-in Bluetooth~ 5.1 offers faster speeds and greater range. Dolby, Dolby Atmos and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

A great decision!

This soundbar is a great purchase even at full MSRP. But luckily for me I caught it on sale for half off. Upgrading from a $130 soundbar it is a night and day difference that in a lot of ways competes on a similar level as when I had a full tower setup. Smart tech integration is a fantastic feature and is the easiest way to basically add a Chromecast audio to your living room. Take the time and get familiar with the features and be sure to calibrate your room audio.

A easy go to option for mass storage. Do yourself a favor and get something like this to keep your personal media on rather than trust the cloud.

Can the sub-woofer be wired or is it only Bluetooth? My wireless router is right behind the tv so Bluetooth devices must be at lease 3.3 ft away from it.

Arc is the recommended connection. Please think of Bluetooth as a last resort over hardwired connection.

I have a new 65' OLED TV, and contemplating purchase of LG SP8YA sound bar. I would like to be able to get Dolby Atmos. It seems the recommendation is that I use optical cable, rather that HDMI eARC. Which cable is best? Included? Thanks. TomG

Arc is a superior experience to optical. Especially if Dolby Atmos is the goal. The tones are more rich and more data can pass through.
Fyi. There is always the option of rear speakers where you will definitely appreciate the extra bandwidth.
Be sure that you are using newer HDMI cables. HDMI 2.0-2.1 is recommended to future proof your setup a bit.

Can I put the sound bar a couple of inches above the TV and still get optimal performance? See area directly above the TV in the attached photos. There's not enough room in front of the TV to accommodate the 4.7 inch depth of the sound bar

If doing so make sure to run the soundbar calibration is the app settings. A lot of the magic happens from bouncing the sound off the ceiling. So it could depend on the height of of your ceiling.
The biggest issue I would have is where the front speakers are firing and where your head is. If it is sitting above your head you, it is going to make a difference than if it is directed towards you.

If I connect the LG 3.1.2 Soundbar to my LG UP7670 television, will the volume be controlled by my TV remote or will I have to use the included remote? Or maybe better stated, will the Soundbar volume sync with the volume of my tv?

This soundbar plays very nice with the paired TV. Sound varies over each connection, but sync audio is possible. Use over an ARC hdmi connection works and sounds best, especially if Dolby Atmos is the goal.

Will this work with a sony XBR65X900F using ARC? Will Dolby Atmos be passed to the soundbar from Netflix?

Yes I have Dolby Atmos running directly to the TV passing through to the soundbar. As long as whatever device you have is set for passthrough you won't have any problems.

Is there a way to update the firmware on the sound bar using USB? I cannot get this sound bar to connect to my home wifi. I’ve tried 3 different routers but no luck. Extremely frustrating, i’ve called Support two times and they were able to help at all.

Are you using the app for Internet connection?
