I got exactly what I paid for here. It's my first sound bar, needed something better than the awful audio of a modern TV. This so far has made playing games with positional audio SO MUCH MORE IMMERSIVE (Dying Light 2 on Steam Deck has been my main test so far) and once again, coming from TV speakers, it's been nice in my opinion. Decent level of bass for just a soundbar. I'm quite happy with this in my house's living room, but I did choose to get one without a separate subwoofer. Keep your expectations reasonable if you're going this route, as well.
The thinner width of the optical cable solution worked better for me than an extra HDMI cable would have. If you have an LG TV you still get full functionality with this.
-Plug that optical cable into the back of the TV and down to the soundbar.
-In your TV settings, change the "Sound Out" from TV to Optical. By default my TV remote was already controlling the sound bar, but the volume level was showing up as an X on the TV. In your LG TV settings, there is an option for this: Sound -> Additional Settings -> LG Sound Sync
-Enable that, and for me audio went out entirely, so I toggled through all the soundbar's input options until getting back to ARC/Optical. Or power it off-on. The sound should return but now your TV remote shows the volume level when you adjust that.
To avoid having to wall mount another thing, it would be great if this could attach to the spots on the bottom of the TV where there are screw holes for the feet. Don't know how realistic that would be for allowing different TV sizes. My display is on an adjustable mount and pulled away from the wall to bring it closer, and I don't want to position the sound further back than the display itself.
