Yes it is, Looks a bit too soft for my taste's , football content being the worst..isnt the sky q mini box 1080p only?
Been sat here doing the same and found turning off TruMotion was the answer.I have messing with settings this weekend, bored inside with storm dennis about, With football content i was getting a weird effect where players seemed to disappear and the ball sometimes, I have found Switching Al Picture off has cured this ....
My 65" E9 came on thursday upgrading from my 55" LG E7
The picture is a tad cleaner all round in particular theres improvements in near black detail, colour on the E9 are a little less saturated and more natural, the remote on the E9 is a step backwards though and sound wise it is a massive step backwards from the E7.
So looking for soundbar recommendations please that are eArc capable and fit underneath the E9, so far have only come up with the Sony HT-ZF9 that fits both criteria, whats everybody else using please ?
There must be something wrong with your set up as the E9 sound is really good , if you set auto volume to on and then enable Dolby and AI sound with base enabled and try that.
Already done all that....sound is passable for day time tv but needs quite a bit more for movies and tv shows.....sound is signifiecently worse than my old E7.

Interesting i have an E7 and am thinking of upgrading to an E9. Do you think the upgrade is worth it?
In terms of sound i recommend the Samsung HWN90 soundbar. It is amazing with Atmos soundtracks and can be had for under 1K was 1.5K when i got it in 2018.
Okay thanks for the feedback.Unfortunatly the Samsung is to big to sit under the E9 which is why i think i'll properbly wait for this years LG soundbars that have earc and are sized to match LG tv's.....PQ wise yes theres a definite improvement to my eyes , a over all refinement and better near black detail, 1000% white screen and banding or the lack of it are perfect.

From everything I have read, soundbars are not recommended, a modest receiver and speaker set up is the preferred set up, building up from that to any configuration that works for the room.
I can see that sound bars have an entry level around $300 up to $1800.00 and from what I am hearing, you are far better off to go with a receiver/speaker set up.

I've found the sound is much, much more punch with the AI sound turned off. I put it in music mode with atmos turned on and find action movies have much more punch and bass. The AI sound takes the bass out to make it more spacious.
Also, the auto correct volume setting is terrible for music channels/streaming
The ZF9 is definitely worth looking at. It's one of only a few Atmos bars I can find that has 2 HDMI in and one out which really helps tidy up the cables. I tried one out in John Lewis last night and was quote impressed.
Not practical or desirable for many people for many reasons.
At its best the E9 is ok. Better than a lot of flat panel TV's but miles away from most soundbars. It's good if you really don't want a soundbar.

Which is to equalize volume between speech and loud scenes as well as in show and adverts.If you go to sound and then additional settings and then click volume mode and set it to auto.

I'm waiting until I have the TV on the wall so I can create a gap under for a soundbar.
Not sure eArc will change my life so not fussed about that.
I'd love a full room 5.1 surround set up as much as the next man, but a wired system is a ball ache and a wireless system is serious money.
The ZF9 can be paired with 2 wireless (save for mains power supply) speakers to make it a 5.1 system however.
I haven't measured the ZF9 height Vs the bottom of the visible TV on the E9 yet, but the ZF9 does have infrared pass through so it won't block signal there.
There is a JCV one that has 2 satellites that are battery powered and click onto the sound bar to charge.
Oh thats interesting.If you want WiSA speakers, you need to switch the audio output to that, which means your TV sound goes off entirely.
The main issue is that as far as I can tell, not many speakers are WiSA certified and those that are, are expensive.
