LG HLX56S

LG's HLX56S packs a 3D Blu-ray player and 4.1 sound system into a single soundbar, and throws in a wireless sub for good measure

Generous feature list ; Amazing design ; Improved internet portal

Treble-heavy sound that can grate at high volumes ; Sluggish DLNA operation ; Can’t be wall-mounted

Rear connectivity is excellent by soundbar standards. Not only do you get a HDMI v1.4 output, capable of piping 3D pictures to your TV, but two HDMI inputs allow you to listen to external sources though this unit. That’s a real godsend if you want to...

LG HLX56S

It does everything well, but you can buy better sound for the cash

Built-in 3D BD player; extra HDMI inputs; great sound and pictures

Deep chassis prohibits positioning; sub could be better integrated

LG HLX-56S review

The HLX-56S is an all-in-one home cinema system cast in the shape of a soundbar. With integrated Blu-ray player, digital amplifier, net portal and media streamer, it's pretty much all you need for instant AV gratification.

Convenient all-in-one design; wireless subwoofer; gutsy audio; plenty of features

More wide stereo than surround sound; slow-loading BD deck

LG HLX56S net savvy 3D Blu-ray soundbar combo

Review LG's HLX56S is an audacious all-in-one home cinema system, cast in the guise of a mild-mannered soundbar. With integrated 3D Blu-ray player, copious amplification and IPTV portal, it's got everything you need for the upmarket man-cave, in a...

All-in-one cinema systems inevitably involve a degree of compromise, but this well-executed twin set offers fewer than you might imagine. Partner with a larg-ish flatscreen, for a thoroughly acceptable home cinema experience. ®
