LG has kicked off its long list of 2024 product reveals with the announcement of three new soundbars from a ten-strong flock of new options. These models will join the existing range to create an impressive series comprising 16 models, which includes 2023 releases such as the USE6S and USC9S.
The two completely new models that LG has revealed are the SG10T and S70TY. Both feature a notable new feature: they will connect wirelessly to LG TVs. The SG10T is designed to work with the LG G3 and M3 (as well as their presumed 2024 iterations); the S70TY is geared towards LG's QNED range (once again they are expected to work nicely with the anticipated 2024 models).
The SG10T features the same Zero Gap wall mount from the LG G3, meaning it can be positioned fully flush against the wall for a sleek appearance that matches the aesthetic of the flagship 4K OLED TV. Moving away from the G3, LG also promotes the new soundbar as an ideal companion to the wireless M3 OLED TV. LG has solved two issues here, as the M3 itself has no HDMI sockets on the TV itself, meaning you need to connect the soundbar to the Zero Connect box.
Trailing an HDMI cable through your living room defeats the fundamental point of a wireless TV, although of course you will want to position the soundbar underneath the display. The SG10T addresses these issues head-on, as it will match the aesthetics and functionality of the M Series OLED TV while remaining practical in its wireless connection to the Zero Connect box.
Notably, LG has also made strides in how these new soundbars connect to external wireless surround speakers. In previous LG soundbar iterations, the optional surround speakers would need to be connected to a wireless receiver which in turn connects to the soundbar. This is no longer the case: the new soundbars can now communicate directly with the 2024 wireless surround speakers without the need for a receiver, once again removing cable clutter from the equation.
