Conclusion

As you can see, the LG brand represents a very wide range of sound panels, for almost every taste and wallet. Some models of soundbars with a fairly affordable price have a good set of starting characteristics, others have a bright design, but they are expensive and cannot boast of advanced technological filling. Anyway,the very possibility of choice is a positive criterion, because the market of sound panels is very specific and is, so to speak, at the “junction of devices”. The categories of “home theaters” and 2.1 (4.1) systems of the classical form factor are adjacent to it. Soundbars are a compromise between these categories of devices, however, someone may not like the form of performance of the candy bar, which takes up a lot of space.
