The LG S75Q is a 3.1.2 setup released in 2022. It's one of the manufacturer's high-end models for the year with Dolby Atmos support, alongside the LG S80QY and the LG S90QY. It uses built-in Meridian Technology to improve audio reproduction, and you can connect it to compatible LG TVs for TV Sound Mode Share. However, it only has two up-firing Atmos drivers compared to the 3.1.3 S80QY and the 5.1.3 S90QY, and it doesn't offer more premium features like AI Room Calibration to optimize the bar's sound based on your room's acoustics.
Our Verdict
The LG S75Q is decent for mixed usage. It's a pretty versatile bar with Dolby Atmos support, though its height performance is just okay overall. Out-of-the-box, it reproduces pretty clear and accurate dialogue, and its discrete center channel enhances the quality of voices in TV shows. It lacks low bass, though, so you don't feel the rumble in bass-heavy music or action-heavy movies. Surround sound isn't the best, either.
- Dolby Atmos support.
- Some compression at max volume.
The LG S75Q is good for dialogue-centric content like TV shows. It's a 3.1.2 setup, so it has a discrete center channel that helps reproduce dialogue clearly and accurately. You can use its 'Clear Voice' dialogue enhancement feature if you want, and there's also a Night Mode feature to balance out the volume level when you watch shows at night. Out-of-the-box, its balanced mid-range means voices are clear in the mix, though they're also a bit dark due to the recessed treble.
- Good center channel performance.
- Dialogue enhancement feature.
- Some compression at max volume.
The LG S75Q is decent for music. Out-of-the-box, it has balanced mids that reproduce clear and accurate voices and lead instruments. There's a little extra boom in the high bass, and its recessed treble adds a slight darkness to the sound. You have lots of customization features on hand, including bass and treble adjustments and EQ presets. It can't reproduce the deep thump and rumble in the low-bass found with bass-heavy music like hip-hop and EDM.
- Bass and treble adjustments.
- EQ presets.
- Some compression at max volume.
- Lacks low-bass.
The LG S75Q is decent for movies. It supports Dolby Atmos content, which is often found on streaming services. The bar's height performance is decent, but it doesn't provide the same immersive experience as more premium models. There's also support for surround sound like Dolby Digital and DTS, though it has to downmix this content into stereo in order to play it. Its lack of low-bass means that you don't feel the deep rumble in action-packed scenes.
- Bass and treble adjustments.
- Dolby Atmos support.
- Some compression at max volume.
- Lacks low-bass.
