According to our soundbar expert
With the LG SK10Y soundbar and subwoofer, you'll create a movie theater experience in your living room. The soundbar supports Dolby Atmos that produces realistic surround sound. In order to achieve that, you have to connect the soundbar to rear speakers. The bar has speakers on the top to send sound to the ceiling as well. The volume of the front and top speakers is controlled separately. The soundbar is equipped with Meridian audio technology to send sound into the room at the same height as your TV screen. This makes the sound of speech and music extra clear and warm.
Connecting the Soundbar to your TV
Use an HDMI cable to connect your soundbar to your television. You need to purchase this cable separately.

After testing 3 soundbars in the same price range, the LG SK10Y caught my eye. What appealed to me was the presence of Dolby Atmos and 4K throughput (which fits well with my TV, also from LG), and the 5 surround sound presets (although they don't all sound equally nice, Movie is beautiful, for example, but Bass Blast and You'd better skip standard). It's a decent soundbar (145cm wide), but it definitely doesn't look out of place with my 55" TV.
The soundbar is used daily (in the living room) for watching TV and movies, and also often for listening to music. By SYMPLINK I control the soundbar with the TV remote control (actually I control everything via the Harmony One Ultimate, but it's about the principle). Even at low volume, the soundbar produces a nice full sound, I have not experienced this as such with the previous soundbars I tested.
It took some searching, but the SK10Y is exactly what I was looking for. Hang up the (sold separately) LG SPK8-S surround speakers this week, and then the system will be complete.
Ideal sound bar.

I bought the soundbar largely to be able to cast Spotify without having to set up the TV. Only Google Home recognizes the soundbar, no other device, a very big shortcoming for me. Hours wasted trying to figure it out but couldn't get it to work. I read similar findings everywhere so the Chromecast simply doesn't work.
Good sound modes (clear difference for music or movie). Music sounds pretty good but not across the whole room, only right in front of the soundbar. Stereo is good but Dolby Atmos is barely noticeable. Integration with LG C8 is perfect, plug & play. Set the TV sound to ARC output.
The app is a disaster, even in English it is a bad translation and many features are missing. Totally not user-friendly.
The bar has 2 HDMI inputs, there should have been more, some devices still need to be connected to the TV.
For this price I actually expected more.

The sound makes you really into the series or movie, when testing with my new LG 55" OLED I couldn't stop watching and forgot the time.
I'm still looking for the perfect sound setting, sometimes I don't hear the conversations as well if there is too much noise from the background in the film, which is sometimes a bit too loud.
Woofer is connected wirelessly, that went without saying, very nice. Not all preprogrammed sound settings are usable, you wonder why they are there.
The built-in chromecast is present but I can't get it to work. Support LG switched on by phone, I have been waiting for an answer for several days.
If your TV has an input for an optical cable, you don't need an HDMI cable.
I'm happy, and ready for the next 10 years I think... I hope :)
