Our Verdict

LG S90TR

LG S90TY

The LG S90TR and the LG S90TY offer a surprisingly similar performance and feature set, considering one features dedicated satellites and the other is a streamlined bar/sub combo. This translates to a very obvious difference when it comes to surround sound performance, where the discrete rear speakers that come with the LG S90TR are capable of producing a much wider sound with 5.1 content. Otherwise, there's almost nothing to split the two bars. Both feature balanced frequency responses, great dynamics performances and can passthrough 4k signals @ 120Hz. If space in your living room isn't a consideration, you can see which of these is available for a lower price.
