Overview

The LG UQ9000 and S65Q bundle provides a straightforward path to upgrading your home entertainment setup with both picture and sound in a single purchase. The 50-inch UQ9000 Series 4K Smart TV features LG's α5 Gen5 AI Processor, which analyzes content in real time to optimize brightness, contrast, and color for a cleaner 4K image. Running webOS, the TV offers immediate access to all major streaming services without requiring an external device, and built-in Alexa voice control adds hands-free convenience for searching content and controlling compatible smart home devices.

The included S65Q 3.1-channel soundbar with wireless subwoofer significantly elevates the audio experience beyond what the TV's internal speakers can deliver. Tuned with Meridian audio technology — a collaboration with the renowned British audio company — the soundbar emphasizes clear vocal reproduction and balanced sound across music, movies, and dialogue-heavy shows. DTS Virtual:X processing expands the perceived soundstage to simulate surround and height effects, creating a more cinematic experience without the complexity of a full surround speaker system. The soundbar connects via HDMI eARC for lossless audio pass-through and also supports Bluetooth for streaming music from phones and tablets.
