Hi there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us regarding your OLED83G5WUA TV. We understand your inquiry as you look to optimize the connection for your LG Soundbar and the TV's internet connectivity. For connecting your LG Soundbar to the TV's eARC HDMI slot (HDMI 2) and ensuring full support for high-bitrate audio formats like Dolby Atmos, we suggest using an Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable that is certified to the HDMI 2.1 standard. This type of cable provides the maximum bandwidth needed to carry uncompressed audio data via eARC. Whether the cable is marketed as 4K or 8K, the key is the certified HDMI 2.1 standard. Regarding the Ethernet cable for your internet connection, a standard Cat6 Ethernet cable is more than adequate to support your TV's wired internet needs, including 4K streaming and receiving updates. The TV's processing of Dolby Atmos and picture quality is primarily dependent on the source signal and the TV's internal processing, and a Cat6 cable provides a highly stable connection for data transfer. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-83-class-g5-series-oled-evo-ai-4k-uhd-smart-webos-tv-with-one-wall-design-2025/JJ8VPZTZC2 If you have any further questions about setting up your soundbar or optimizing your network connection, please contact us on [email protected], and our team will be more than happy to assist you. —Renzo
