LG NB4540 4.1 Soundbar with wireless subwoofer active (320 watts, Bluetooth, LG TV Wireless Sync sound, mountable) Silver (Electronics)

Customer Review

Have NB4550 4.1 subsequently ordered for my LG 55UB820V the soundbar.

Short version:

+ The sound for the price ok
+ Looks good, great design
~ Conjunction with LG televisions work (auto power, control over TV remote control), however, the channel switching slowed by the Soundbar
-The Sound presets are not ideally matched. Better would be an equalizer to regulate itself
Delay at playback on all sources
--Kabellose Conjunction with LG TVs (!) Unusable (noise, interruptions ...)

Long version:

After unpacking I was done before the design and full of expectations.
First disappointment opened, as I had no decent connection when wireless connection to the TV. The sound crashed and there were brief interruptions. After several attempts, resets, etc. I have the theme be allowed only once. (I find that really a no go because LG so yes explicitly advertises - whether the now blame the Soundbar or an error on the TV, or both is, I know at that time but not yet).

Well, next try using HDMI ARC. This worked reasonably. However, changing the channels suddenly took a bit longer - Sound and vision were also out of sync. However, the soundbar can set only a delay of the sound (to 300ms) - I needed it the other way around, namely that the image is delayed. Fortunately, my TV has the appropriate settings. Thus I could accept me then only once.

So I've got a few days tested this constellation. Very convenient that Soundbar and TV together on / off and that de facto control of the entire system with just one remote control works (the TV).

One should expect from the Soundbar no great wonder. But I planned to keep them if necessary. Especially with HD content, I found the sound alright (am in any case in a rented apartment and can not turn up very loud). Even late at night at low volume Stronger one still has good bass and a halfway pleasant tone.

Unfortunately, there is only sound presets. These are for my taste but not ideal (Cinema bit too much treble, Std enough centers, the others did not tell me to). At least a 2-band equalizer would there already helped ...

Playing Smartphone / PC via Bluetooth is ok. USB I've not tested.
PC via jack was good concerning the sound, but the sound came also delays here. Fiel eg Youtube videos.

I was then actually eh quite disappointed and thought to myself, return the soundbar. But I wanted to wait and test a bit. After about a week they told me then but makes the decision easier. The soundbar could suddenly no longer connect via HDMI Arc and any input via remote control has been adopted with a delay. Now my patience was at an end and I have decided on a replacement loose resending.

My conclusion: On the one hand I probably seem more demanding than I thought, on the other hand, some things were disappointing. I'll post a brief recovery still testing different sound systems and possibly switch to a higher quality and price range.
