Very easy to set up. If you download the app easy to switch vs using the remote. By default it wont work but if you go in via the app (or remote) set it to surround it turns that 5.1 into 7.1

86" of 4k viewing goodness!
on November 30, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
So I replaced my 88" 720p Screen with this in my Media room and wow was it the right choice. Good color, webOS and remote has been easy to use.
Great viewing angles and the picture quality has been a vast improvement over what I had. I played with it all weekend and glad I got the LG Soundbar to pair with it. Sound by itself using TV speakers is nothing special.
Yes there may be better but for the size and price point this was too good not to pass up. Had it installed on 11/26/21

Let sensor controls on this GE over-the-counter range do all of the work, checking time and temperature and delivering perfect results with every dish. An integrated Melt mode lets you melt cheese, butter and other ingredients without worrying about scorching. Weight and time defrost on this GE over-the-counter range works to thaw a range of frozen meats and food.

This fit right in the place I had over the stove from my last Microwave. Easy to use, has my 30 sec button. Due to design the exhaust fan is just over the door. Did not know this but due to it, its very loud.

The CS9040 center channel speaker delivers immense clarity and focus to the vocal range, accurately reproducing even the most demanding audio content so you can experience every detail of pure home theater. An aluminum dome tweeter, BDSS high-performance drivers, and an integrated bass radiator let you hear and feel every note as the artist intends. The inert, resonance-free cabinet structure with acoustically transparent grilles provides natural, uncolored sound without having to remove the speaker grille. The CS9040 features a timeless, minimalist design with machined, aircraft-grade aluminum construction, and can be placed atop any flat-surface such as a stand, shelf or cabinet. Its integrated rubber feet make sure the speaker stays in place and does not scratch your furniture.

It's a very good center speaker I did not want to go with the larger that had the built-in subwoofer so this was a great choice. Sound and dialogue during movies or television made this worth it highly recommended.

With enhanced Motionflow technology, Google TV, and HDMI 2.1 for next-gen gaming, all available in a wide range of sizes, your favorite content just found a new home.
 

Is anyone using the Google TV system? How does it compare to Roku Ultra? Is it zippy? Or does it lag? How's the remote compared to Roku? Is it passing through Dolby Atmos effectively?

Yes to all questions. TV is very responsive when using the Google UI. 3 weeks of use and no issues, Remote is huge no back lite but easy enough to use once you get the hang of it. Yes I got it because it does Dolby atmos with no issues, I see it pop up all the time on screen, on my sound bar and via the soundbar app. Hope this helps.

What is the best sound bar to have for this TV?

I went with the LG Model:SP9YA LG 5.1.2 Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer, Dolby Atmos & DTS:X - Black with the wireless rear speakers from LG Model:
SPK8-S. Because it was made with LG the TV remote controls the bar also. If you use the eArc via HDMI it passes thru Atmos which was why I wanted it.
As always YMMV.
