The sound system doesn't stop there, its also IMAX Enhanced which helps to support images and sound for the best viewing experience, whether you're watching a live football match or indulging in the latest blockbuster.
This five-piece sound system is currently up for grabs for the discounted price of £429 at Amazon, as well as at Currys and directly from LG's own store.
Offering TV and film fans truly Immersive 5.1.3ch home cinema sound, this system uses an array of ninechannels (5.1.3) including cutting-edge triple up-firing channels, plus rear speakers and a high 620w power output, to ensure the audio is super immersive and powerful no matter what you're watching.
Armed with Meridian Audio technology, the S80QR system integrates bespoke and expertly crafted audio technology from Meridian, Britain's leading specialist of high resolution audio, while supporting Hi-Res Audio to provide pristine, crisp, and clear sound at all times.
Boasting smart and open connectivity, this speaker system uses a wide array of smart connectivity features to enhance viewer experience.

Currently on Amazon, this LG sound system has amassed an impressive 4.7 out of 5 star rating, with a 84% giving it 5 out of 5. One thrilled customer raves: "Bought this a month ago and found it easy to set up. The sound is really top quality and whilst I didn't pay the top price for it, it was worth every penny. My choice was made in part as we have an LG tv and therefore compatible with its remote control. Works with Alexa but I am still learning the functions."
Another shopper shares: "It's incredible! Not much money for cinema quality and the surround sound is immense. Had the previous version and this is a massive upgrade. Well done Meridian with LG, very well done."
And this buyer beams: "I've owned several soundbar and subwoofer sets, and while they've been okay, they've also been lacking. Then, I bought a Sky Glass, and what screen was lacking, I thought was made up with the inbuilt Atmos Soundbar, I was wrong. This soundbar sounds amazing. Clear voices, deep and full bass, and room filling sound. I've had to buy acoustic pads to go under the subwoofer so as to not vibrate the flat downstairs ceiling. But apart from that it fills the room with sound without the volume being objectionable, in fact, if you go into another room and close the door, you won't hear it anywhere near as loud as you'd expect. It's crystal clear with all sources. Music and Movies sound especially good on it. It feels like a true home cinema system, and when paired up to an LG OLED TV, the Wow Orchestra feature adds another layer of sound, so it feels like you are in a bubble of audio. It's just amazing, and for the price it is now, a bargain considering the audio quality."

I had bald patches at 21 & tried all the hair hacks – a viral Amazon buy reversed it and now my locks are thick & long
All recommendations within this article are informed by expert editorial opinion. If you click on a link in this story we may earn affiliate revenue. The hair expert also claimed a viral growth syrup was not worth the hype HAIR THIS I had bald patches at 21 & tried all the hair hacks – a viral Amazon buy reversed it and now my locks are thick & long Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN Sofia started losing her hair at just 21, she turned to every viral TikTok hack and pricey hair serum out there but says that only one product actually worked. Now 24, the London-based hair researcher claims XXX buy has totally transformed her hair, helping her grow back thick, healthy locks after years of bald patches and self-esteem struggles. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Sophia began balding at just 21-years-old Credit: tiktok/@sofiahairhealth 2 She's shared the secret product that's landed her luscious locks Credit: Sophia said: 'I've tried every 'miracle' product on the market, and nothing compares." She claims Growplex's Vitafoam 5% Minoxidil gave her her hair back and gave it 10/10 for hair growth, ranking it the best on the market. The over-the-counter scalp treatment works by increasing blood flow to hair follicles, helping to stimulate growth. Sofia said she applies the foam formula to her scalp every night before bed and hasn't looked back since. What other hair-growth products has she tried? Her reviews as a trichologist are refreshingly honest, especially when it comes to viral hair care that just didn't deliver. Sophie gave cult-favourite Kerastase Genesis just 5/10, calling it 'glamorous but pointless' for actual hair regrowth. She said although the product might reduce a bit of breakage it "doesn't touch hormonal or genetic causes'. Another hyped-up TikTok pick, Seapuri Hair Growth Serum, scored a dismal 2/10. Sophia claimed the hype was all due to marketing, as it doesn't contain any clinically-proven ingredients to actually regrow hair. Surprisingly, she also slammed Hair Syrup, rating it just 1/10. The hair researcher called it a "total scam" and claimed it clogged her scalp pores and "made everything worse". My hair's so thin you can see my scalp but miracle £8 buy fixes it in seconds On the more positive end, she gave Champo's Pitta Growth Serum a 7/10, saying although it won't reverse baldness it will support overall hair health. Nioxin's Anti-Hair Loss Serum also scored fairly well with 7.5/10. Sophia explained that it activates hair growth by triggering an olfactory response — basically waking the follicles up with scent stimulation. She claims it's smart, but still not as effective as Minoxidil. Sophie's ultimate hair-growth hack She swears by combining Minoxidil with DHT-blocking supplements like pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto and stinging nettle root. She explained that DHT is the hormone that shrinks hair follicles and so stopping it is key if you want to stop the loss. Still, she insists: 'You can spend hundreds on shampoos, tonics and influencers' favourites, but nothing beats Minoxidil, DHT blockers and maybe laser therapy if you're serious about regrowth.' But behind all the testing and reviews is a much deeper journey. Sofia first realised something was wrong when she started noticing thinning around her hairline during university. 'I'd wake up and see more scalp than hair,' she recalled. 'Then I spotted actual bald patches.' Eventually, she was diagnosed with androgenic alopecia, a genetic condition more commonly found in older women but hers came on fast and early. At the time, she says she withdrew from friends, felt deeply insecure, and spent months researching solutions. Doctors warned there was no permanent cure, just ongoing treatments. That's when Sofia threw herself into learning about hair biology and testing everything she could get her hands on. Hair re-growth FAQs Anabel Kingsley, Consultant Trichologist and Brand President at Philip Kingsley spoke exclusively to Fabulous. How long does it take for hair to grow back? Hair grows, on average, half an inch a month. You cannot speed this up. Do rosemary oil and scalp massages work? Oils do not promote hair growth. In terms of rosemary oil, the current trend stems from one small study carried out on 50 men in 2015. No women were involved, and the study compared the effects of 2 per cent minoxidil to Rosemary oil. 2 per cent minoxidil doesn't do much for male pattern hair loss anyway, so the results were not very impressive. Oils do serve a purpose in conditioning hair treatments though. They help add shine and smooth the hair cuticle to lock-in moisture and improve combability. Scalp massages alone won't cure hair loss, but it can help relax you, aid in lymphatic drainage, exfoliate and help topicals penetrate. Are there any products or foods/vitamins you recommend someone using or eating to help with hair regrowth? To support healthy hair regrowth, if you are experiencing hair thinning we'd recommend our Density Preserving Scalp Drops clinically proven to help slow hair loss with continued daily use within three months. Telogen effluvium (hair shedding) due to nutritional deficiencies can often be simply treated with changes to your diet, and nutritional supplements such as our specially formulated Density Healthy Hair Complex and Density Amino Acid Booster. Iron and Ferritin (stored iron) in red meat, dried apricots and dark, leafy greens. Vitamin B12 in animal products and fortified plant-based foods. Protein from oily fish, lean meat, cottage cheese, tofu, nuts, chickpeas, and beans. However, there may be an underlying cause for their hair loss and rather than this being masked by using an off-the-shelf product, they should be encouraged to seek the advice of a specialist such as a Trichologist. Now, thanks to her routine and that game-changing Amazon foam, her hair is visibly fuller and healthier, and her confidence is back too. She's built a supportive following on TikTok where she shares advice, reviews, and encouragement with others facing hair loss. 'People message me every day, from teen boys to women in their 50s, saying thank you for being honest about what works and what doesn't,' she said. She says her comment section has become a "beautiful space where people just support each other".

Amazon axing popular freebie that helped customers ‘earn £100s' in just days and shoppers are furious
AMAZON is axing a popular freebie in days, and shoppers are furious. The major online retailer said its Receipts Program will end in the UK on August 1. 1 Currently, customers can upload receipts for products they bought from rival shops via the Amazon shopping panel, and earn money back. Shoppers earn 10p for each receipt they upload. Alternatively, they can upload 50 receipt pictures to get the maximum reward of £5. Panellists were alerted to the change via a notification in the app. The move has sparked fury among customers, with many taking to social media to complain. Writing in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, one shopper said: "I'm gutted I get £7-8 a month from it and it all adds up. While another added: "Oh no! I've got £141 since I've been doing it. Don't get many surveys, some months I don't get any, so not worth keeping." And a third moaned: "Gutted, over £200 since I started doing it." It is not the first time the retail giant has made changes to this feature. Back in October, shoppers were left heartbroken after Amazon said shoppers would need to upload 50 receipts instead of 10 to get the £5 reward. Amazon 'hiking' prices ahead of Prime Day after shoppers claim company 'great savings' aren't real Panellists can still earn rewards through completing surveys for Amazon. The amount customers earn varies per survey and you can see the amount before choosing to complete the survey. The Sun has approached Amazon for comment. How does the Amazon shopper panel work? The shopper Panel is an opt-in, invitation-only program where participants can earn monthly rewards by sharing receipts from purchases made outside of Amazon. Once you receive a notification, customers can download the app from the app store or the Google Play store. Before you join, you may be put on a waiting list and you will be sent an email when you can join. As well as uploading receipts to earn cash, users can also take part in surveys and enable ad verification for extra rewards. The amount you can earn per survey varies, but you will be able to see how much you can earn before you take part. Enrolling in ad verification - allowing Amazon to see the ads that appear on your phone - can earn you £2 per month. If you decide the app isn't for you, you can stop using it anytime. More ways to make money online There are plenty of other websites that pay you for completing surveys or other tasks. For example, Swagbucks has paid out millions globally and reward users for surveys, watching clips and browsing the web. Regular users report earning upwards of £300 a year for just 15 minutes of their time. Expect to earn around 50p a survey which will typically take up to 20 minutes. You can get your payouts either as PayPal cash or shopping vouchers. Elsewhere, Opinium is used by top firms for research. Surveys pay 50p on average and take around five minutes, you'll have to work up to £25 before you can get a payout. Get your money through cash with a bank transfer or gift vouchers. Quick ways to make cash Install an app Some apps will pay you to install other apps on your phone. Just by installing an app on your phone, you could earn £20 in online vouchers. By downloading Ipsos Media Cell, a consumer data tracking software, you will receive a £20 voucher by installing an app on your phone. You also have to fill in a quick survey. You will then get £10 each month that you keep the app installed on your phone. The app is owned by renowned research company IPSOS Mori. It's designed to get more information about how people consume media, what they watch and listen to and what devices they use. TaskRabbit specialises in DIY and other more physical tasks such as home repairs, cleaning and moving house. The app also runs a partnership with furniture store IKEA, where "taskers" get paid to assemble flat pack furniture for its customers, meaning a steady stream of work. Share deals and get paid If you find a good deal you could get paid for sharing it with others. Some sites give people vouchers for sharing the deals they find in stores and online. LatestDeals is a money-saving community in the UK and they hand out vouchers for people who share deals on its website. Members of LatestDeals earn points and Amazon vouchers, for sharing deals, vouchers, competitions and commenting and voting on deals. You have to get to a minimum of 5,000 points before you get a £5 Amazon voucher. There's a guide to how many points you can earn for different activities on the website. Earn cashback Cashback sites are becoming more and more popular as shoppers become more savvy. A cashback site will give you cash back when you spend money online. TopCashback and Quidco are two of the most popular and sometimes you can earn hundreds. The Quidco website states that their average member earns around £300 per year. When you're shopping, make sure you click through the websites to get some extra cash. Both have widgets you can download and add to your browser so you never forget. They are free to use but there are plus memberships that cost £5 a year and can give you a higher rate of cashback.

The Salt Path readers are fuming and demand refunds after 'true story' controversy
Bookshops offer refunds for The Salt Path, as author Raynor Winn is accused of lying about and leaving out key elements of the South West Coast Path story - and readers feel 'conned' Bookshops and online stores are offering refunds for The Salt Path, as author Raynor Winn is accused of lying about and leaving out key elements of the South West Coast Path story - and readers feel "conned." Winn has been accused of not being completely honest in her account of the memoir - which is about a huge hike around the South West Coast Path. Angry readers of The Salt Path are demanding refunds and leaving the once-loved book scathing reviews after author Raynor Winn was accused of lying. The "true story" has now been contested, although the writer maintains that it reflects her and her husband's journey "accurately". But readers are now asking for refunds as some have said they feel "conned" and "disappointed". Others have flocked to the book's Amazon page to leave negative reviews, since the accusations came to light. Moving circumstances were detailed in the book, that more than two million people have read, but now Winn is facing claims that it is not a true story - and some key elements were omitted. Readers have been leaving one-star reviews on the Amazon book page for the book, as well as requesting refunds en masse. It all comes after an investigation into the "true tale" by The Observer newspaper. However, Winn continues to defend the book and the account of the real-life experience herself and her husband endured. The newspaper investigation looked deep into the backgrounds of The Salt Path's protagonists, Winn and her husband, Moth. Their real names are Sally and Tim Walker - and though the book detailed them being forced out of their home in Wales, this the investigation argued was not true. Instead, the exposé alleged that when an investment in a childhood friend's business went wrong, their property was repossessed. Further, Winn is accused of stealing tens of thousands of pounds from a former employer, for which, the Observer writers, that she was later arrested. Allegedly, the couple then failed to repay a loan taken out with a relative to repay this "stolen money" which had been agreed on the terms that police involvement would be avoided. However, after failing to repay, it's claimed that this is the reason the couple lost their home. For more stories like this subscribe to our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Gulp, for a curated roundup of trending stories, poignant interviews, and viral lifestyle picks from The Mirror's Audience U35 team delivered straight to your inbox. Despite the investigation's claims the couple have defended the memoir's contents. Raynor told The Mirror: "We are taking legal advice and won't be making any further comment at this time. The Salt Path lays bare the physical and spiritual journey Moth and I shared, an experience that transformed us completely and altered the course of our lives. This is the true story of our journey.' Readers have been left fuming, with Amazon reviews of the book demanding refunds. One reviewer said they felt "completely conned" and another wrote they "didn't want to read it anymore". Others mentioned the investigation into the author's The Salt Path had left them really "disappointed". Questions over Moth's rare neurological condition, corticobasal degeneration have also been raised - as life expectancy after diagnosis is up to eight years, the NHS reports. However, Moth has been living for 18 years since he was told he has the disease - which is similar to Parkinson's - yet he has no visible symptoms. The Observer's investigation contacted neurologists who specialise in corticobasal degeneration - and one told the newspaper that his illness "does not pass the sniff test" in their opinion. But the couple continue to defend the book - which has also been made into a major film - and the story behind it. Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you!
