LG’s S70TR (also sold as US70TR) sits in the brand’s mid range Atmos line-up, competing with Samsung and Sony soundbar bundles that include real rear speakers. It’s aimed at people who want a more cinematic setup than a TV can manage, without jumping to a full AV receiver and speaker package.
Who is this for?
If you watch a lot of films and box sets, the separate rear speakers matter, they give you proper surround placement rather than relying on virtual effects. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support can add height and movement to compatible content, but results depend on your room and ceiling. The wireless subwoofer is there for weight and impact, useful for action scenes and games, and it keeps cabling tidier than a wired bass unit.
- 5.1.1 channels: surround sound with a dedicated height channel for Atmos effects
- Wireless subwoofer plus rear speakers: fuller, more directional sound than a bar alone
- 500W total power: headroom for larger living rooms without constant max volume
