A:AnswerThe TV does of course have both features along with the new EARC which is an enhancement to the audio. I have not tried running optical and ARC at the same time.
A:AnswerThere is only one version of the CX the boxes may have been manufactured at different times but the set is the same. All CX sets are 2020 versions. LG changes the name for each iteration ever year. C8 is 2018, C9 is the 2019 version, CX is 2020, C1 is 2021.
A:AnswerHi-
There isn't much heat generated from this set, not like the older back-lit LED panels. My old LG ran quite warm, but this runs very cool.
The best way to determine if you need to cut a hole in the back of the cabinet is to set it in there and run it for an hour. Check the temperature- if it's just a little higher than ambient, you should be OK. If it feels too warm, then cut your hole in the cabinet.
A:AnswerThe stand is heavy and almost the same length of the tv. I do not feel this tv would be likely to fall over. I believe you could probably secure it with a strap on the back side if you feel the need to do so.
A:AnswerA tv just does not have the capabilities that dedicated sound bars and home theaters do.
That being said, this TV does have great sound output for a TV. Better than some premium panels I've had in the past.
But you cannot compare tv speakers to dedicated sound systems, as they are completely different.
