[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LG US40T comprises of an slim under TV soundbar and a seperate Subwoofer, out of the box the only problem I found was that there were no connection cables. The system requires either a HDMI cable or an Optical cable to connect to your television set, neither of these were supplied with my package so i was delayed a few days having to source either cable before I could review it.
Setup is simple once you have the HDMI or Optical cable, the soundbar connects directly into the back of any TV and the Subwoofer connects itself automatically via Bluetooth.
The LG US40T is one of, if not the cheapest in the range of the LG Soundbars but this is in no way apparent from the audio quality it produces. Sound is rich and abundant and you can clearly hear each high, mid and low range frequencies when used in addition to the Subwoofer which on its own produced a very deep bass which literally made my living room walls shudder and vibrate.
I tested a variety of inputs varying from watching standard Freeview TV channels to streaming channels on a 4k Firestick and Netgem TV, the end result was an above average sound, bordering on excellent. I then tested the system by playing music through it using its Bluetooth connection and I hardly noticed a difference from its sound output to that I get from my using my high end Hifi system.
The remote you get is small but adequate for use, i did not notice any instructions with the system to inform me of what each button does but they were easy to work out by myself.
The LGUS40T produces an excellent sound but it does not comprise of any Surround Sound setting, instead the remote comprises of an 'AI' button which the soundbar announces to you when pressed. I did not use this function much but when I did, I noticed the soundbar produced a wider spatial sound which was more 'room filling'.
To summerize, the LGUS40T is an impressive sound system, certainly an upgrade to the already decent sound produced by LG Tv's however I didn't know what i was missing until I received and tested the LGUS40T.
