Wow, @LarsofArcana, that soundbar looks awesome! But I'm curious, does it have good Bluetooth capability?

Yes, the Sony HT-A5000 supports Bluetooth for easy audio streaming. It also has HDMI and Optical inputs for a wide range of connections.

I've been using a Polk Audio Signa S4 Ultra-Slim Sound Bar with my LG 55UR8000AUA, and it's a great runner-up option to the Sony HT-A5000. It has Dolby Atmos support and is super sleek!

Thanks for sharing your experience, @LilCreezy. I'll definitely check out both options! How was the setup process with the Polk Audio soundbar?

The setup for the Sony HT-A5000 was a breeze. Just connect it to power and HDMI/eARC (if supported), and you're good to go. I haven't had any issues at all.

My experience with the Polk Audio Signa S4 has been smooth too, but there were a few more steps involved in the setup process. Overall, though, it was fairly easy, just took me a bit longer to get everything up and running.

Great, thanks for all the input! I think I'll try out both soundbars and see which one works best for my room setup. Any tips on how to choose between them?

Well, you could consider factors like budget, size of your room, and personal preferences in terms of audio quality and design. Also, check if the soundbar supports all the surround sound formats you need.

Yeah, and don't forget to read up on user reviews and see what others have to say about both options.

That's true, @AGTMaster and @FuzzySets. It's always helpful to gather as much information as possible before making a decision. Good luck in finding the perfect soundbar for your LG 55" UR8000 TV!

I'll do some more research and hopefully make a choice soon. Have a great day, all!
