Reviewers from rtings have found:
The LG SN9YG is good for mixed use. Its bass-heavy sound profile is well-suited for action films. While it has a poor height performance, it supports Atmos, and it gets loud enough for a large or crowded room. There's a dialogue enhancement feature as well as an auto-volume feature.
Pros
  • Bass-heavy and boxy sound profile
  • Supports Atmos and Atmos
  • Well-suited for dialogue and TV shows
  • Outstanding amount of customization features
Cons
  • Poor height performance
  • No room correction feature
  • Only available via companion app
