A:AnswerHi, I found LG's website far more helpful to compare specs side by side. This model sound bar just began shipping; some info is missing here.
If you visit www.lg.com, it's easy to compare this 2020 model SN8YG with last year's model SL8YG. Search the model numbers and click "Add to Compare." A tray pops up at the bottom of the screen. Once you have both models in there, click compare. Then the specs are shown side by side so it's easy to see the new additions/updates to help make for an educated purchase. I waited for this model SN8YG as it adds support for eARC(like my TV) and passthrough for 4k and HDR. Plus it has a new feature that senses the acoustics of the room it's in and calibrates the sound bar accordingly. Just to name a few specs that mattered to me.
Hope that helps.

A:AnswerThe LG 3.1.2-Channel 440W Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer and Dolby Atmos with Google Assistant - Black, Model # SN8YG has an HDMI eARC port. It is not true that Dolby Atmos cannot pass through HDMI eARC or HDMI ARC. Dolby Atmos can be passed over regular ARC today (via Dolby Digital Plus) and eARC offers improved bandwidth for higher-quality Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio streams, including Dolby Atmos. The new format also has lip-sync compensation built-in. HDMI eARC on the Soundbar and on your OLED55BXPUA will be by far the best connection...^IFV
A:AnswerOur Family Room is small (15' x 13') with 8' high ceiling. Our 55" LG OLED CX TV and SN8YG sound bar are about 10.5' from where we sit on the couch. We have the additional SPK8-S rear speaker kit mounted on the wall behind the couch. With the small space and combination of sound bar and rear speakers, The sound and clarity is outstanding! We literally haven't gone above volume setting 20 due to he enormous sound and base this thing puts out, especially when playing something in Dolby Atmos! At that volume setting, things on shelves and walls begin to rattle and you have to raise your voice quite a bit to speak to someone just a few feet from you. We've had the system for a few months now and have been really impressed. Our older sound bar was a 6 year old Samsung and there is no comparison. Hope this helps.
