Just getting used to my new LG TV.
Although it wasn't a major requirement, it seems that the only output
for sound is optical for a sound bar.
No obvious sign of BlueTooth. *
I assume that you now have to buy an off-board DAC if you want
analogue output.
Yet another additional expense beyond the base TV.
Fortunately I have a set of speakers with an inbuilt DAC for me to
play with.
* Just realised that I hadn't posted this.
Yes, there is BlueTooth but the menu structure doesn't seem logical
to me. You have to select the speaker icon, and then this gives you
entry into the alternative outputs menus.
No Connections menu for in and out connections.
Very impressive once the BlueTooth pairing has taken place.
The system asks you where the external speakers are and then uses the
Magic Remote as a microphone to receive test tones to fine tune the
audio.
I tried internal speakers + external speakers but that was not fully synchronised so sounded as if there was an echo.
Just using an external portable BlueTooth speaker at the moment
pending the set up of some higher quality speakers but the sound is
much better than from the TV set.
Starting to look as though it may end up as a TV instead of a PC
monitor.
Cheers
