FULL STORY ======================================================================

LG has unveiled another early CES 2022 product the LG S95QR Dolby Atmos Soundbar two weeks ahead of the big technology event.

What sets next years flagship soundbar apart from this years models is a new center-channel upfiring speaker that will bounce sound off the ceiling that should make dialogue sound like its coming from the center of the screen.

In terms of specs, LG says the soundar boasts 810W and 9.1.5 channels of
audio as well as a wireless subwoofer. In addition to the new center upfiring speaker, LG says its also changing its rear wireless speakers to have six channels of audio instead of four by adding two additional drivers to better disperse the sound behind the viewer.

There's no price or firm release date at this point, but we're hoping to at least hear it for ourselves when we get to Vegas in January. LGs next
flagship soundbar has all the fixings

In an early press briefing with TechRadar, LG representatives explained that the S95QR will offer variable refresh rate (VRR) and auto low latency mode (ALLM) via its HDMI port, allowing you to pass through a 4K/120Hz signal from a PS5 or Xbox Series X .

For audiophiles, the soundbar will use Meridian Audios Horizon technology in Music Mode, the soundbar can up-mix two channel audio to 7.1-channel and will support a number of Hi-Res streaming services.

Finally, for those concerned about getting the absolute best-possible sound, the S95QR will come with LGs latest AI Room Calibration technology that measures the dimensions of the room to output the widest soundstage possible.

While those top-line specs should make the LG S95QR the top soundbar well see on the show floor in Vegas in January, Samsung and Sony have yet to show
their hands and could arrive with a flagship Dolby Atmos soundbar or two of their own. Need an audio upgrade before then? Check out our guide to the best soundbars
