via an unprecedentedly wide-ranging firmware update. That update is now, it seems, finally ready to roll out, bringing with it some particularly great news for cutting edge gamers.
The ‘full fat’ version of the new update set to be pushed out to LG’s four most premium soundbar models will deliver no less than eight new features - including, most eye-catchingly, support over the soundbars’ HDMI loop-through for the 4K/120Hz gaming graphics now deliverable by the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X consoles, and premium PC graphics cards.
It’s very unusual to see HDMI ports being upgraded to this extent, so we can but hope that the upgrade doesn’t come with any performance or reliability strings attached. Though in this respect there’s no question, if LG’s regular OLED TV updates are anything to go by, that the brand has in recent years become much better at thoroughly testing substantial software updates before rolling them out than it used to be....
An improved Smart Up-Mixer that does a better job of upmixing stereo sources to take advantage of the soundbars’ full channel counts.An improved AI Room Calibration Pro system that enhances the precision of low frequency sounds when optimising the soundbars’ audio to your specific room design. Expanded WOW Synergy/WOW Orchestra features, so that the soundbars can join forces more effectively with the audio features of LG’s last couple of generations of TVs.If you own a soundbar from lower down in LG’s 2022 range, you will find that the new update doesn’t bring you all of the features listed above. So if you have the S75Q, for instance, you’ll lose the 4K/120Hz pass through, AI Calibration Pro improvements and MQA support.
