LG TVs and Soundbars 2026 Debut Dolby Atmos FlexConnect Technology

Experience the new Dolby Atmos FlexConnect technology with LG’s 2026 TVs and soundbars for immersive home audio.

Welcome to the Future of Home Audio: LG’s Dolby Atmos FlexConnect

If you’re anything like me, the dream of movie theater-quality sound at home has been a quest for years. Well, LG just raised the bar with its latest acoustic lineup featuring Dolby Atmos FlexConnect at CES 2026. This new family of sound gear isn’t just about louder sound—it’s about smarter, more immersive audio that fits effortlessly into your living space. And the best part? You don’t have to rearrange your entire room or deal with cable chaos to get it.

Meet the LG Sound Suite: H7 Soundbar, M7 and M5 Wireless Speakers, and W7 Subwoofer

The centerpiece of LG’s new Sound Suite lineup is the H7 soundbar, the world’s first Dolby Atmos FlexConnect soundbar compatible with any TV. Alongside it come the wireless speakers M7 and M5, plus the powerful W7 subwoofer.

Now, LG isn’t the first to jump on the FlexConnect bandwagon. TCL debuted its Z100 Dolby Atmos FlexConnect system earlier in the year with speakers and a subwoofer, but their system only works with TCL’s own mini-LED TVs from 2025 and onward. LG’s move to support any TV with the H7 soundbar definitely gives it an edge in flexibility.

The H7 packs a serious punch with 20 drivers onboard—four built-in subwoofers, eight passive bass radiators, and three upward-firing drivers designed to bounce those sweeping Atmos effects off your ceiling. This makes it a beast for enveloping sound without needing a ton of gear scattered around the room.

If you want to expand your setup, LG offers two wireless speaker options:

• The M5 is a mono speaker with a front tweeter and woofer, plus an upward-firing driver for those cool height effects Atmos is famous for.
• The M7 is bigger, delivering stereo sound with two full-range drivers, a woofer, and an upward-firing speaker for a truly immersive experience.

Rounding out the set is the W7 subwoofer, which boasts an 8-inch driver that can rumble down to 25.9 Hz. You can position this subwoofer horizontally or vertically, making it a versatile bass powerhouse.

What’s even cooler? LG’s system supports more speakers than TCL’s. While TCL’s setup maxes out at four speakers including the subwoofer, LG allows up to five wireless devices—four speakers plus the subwoofer—letting you build configurations as robust as 13.1.7 channels.

Smart Calibration and Sound Follow: Tailored Audio at Your Fingertips

One of the thrills of Dolby Atmos FlexConnect is the automatic room calibration—it figures out your space and tunes the sound accordingly. LG takes this a notch higher with a feature called Sound Follow, controllable via their LG ThinQ app. It lets you tailor audio to your specific sitting spot, so whether you’re lounging on the couch or at the dining table, you get the best listening experience.

Who’s Getting Dolby Atmos FlexConnect? LG TVs 2026 and Beyond

The premium 2026 LG TVs will come with Dolby Atmos FlexConnect out of the box. Lucky owners of LG OLED C and G series from 2025 won’t miss out either—LG plans a firmware update to unlock this feature for those sets, expanding the reach of this immersive sound tech.

How Does LG’s FlexConnect Stack Up Against the Competition?

Earlier this year, I got a chance to hear TCL’s Z100 Dolby Atmos FlexConnect system, which delivered a decent level of immersion with just three satellites and a subwoofer. The highlight? Its ability to reproduce Dolby Atmos music tracks, which added a whole new dimension to casual listening sessions.

But LG’s Sound Suite looks like a game-changer. With decades of experience pumping out Dolby Atmos home theater systems and flagship soundbars like the highly rated S95TR soundbar, LG’s take on FlexConnect is expected to be at least on par, if not better, than competitors.

The real selling point? The flexibility and power of soundbars. The H7 soundbar, especially when paired with four M7 speakers and a W7 subwoofer, could become a bestseller for folks craving a complete wireless Atmos setup. Of course, such a premium setup won’t come cheap.

For reference, TCL’s Z100 speakers retail around $400 each. Judging by specs, the M5 will likely be more affordable, while the M7 would command a higher price. If you’re eyeing the full 13.1.7 channel system—with one H7, four M7s, and the W7 subwoofer—expect to spend roughly $3000.

“LG’s implementation of FlexConnect will likely perform as well as or better than competitor systems.”

No more wrestling with cables or being locked into a single TV brand. Instead, you get open compatibility, easier setups, and impressive sound performance.

Are you ready to upgrade your audio environment with LG’s revolutionary Sound Suite? Or perhaps you’re already dreaming of that full 13.1.7 channel surround experience? Either way, this is a vivid reminder that the future of sound is wireless, immersive, and tailored just for you.
