For years, achieving immersive Dolby Atmos sound meant wrestling with a mess of HDMI cables. Dolby’s flexconnect aims to change that. The technology wirelessly links compatible LG TVs to speakers, eliminating much of the wiring hassle.
When paired with supported speakers, the system can connect to up to four speakers and one subwoofer. the TV then uses its built-in microphones to analyze the room and determine the precise location of each speaker-even if they’re tucked away on bookshelves or behind furniture-and adjusts the audio output accordingly.
update Method
- Method: Most TVs will download the update automatically. You can also manually check for updates in the “Software Update” menu, or download it from LG’s support site via USB.
