I have bought and returned this system from best buy. Buyer beware. This Flagship LG LAS950M aka HS9 from LG does not support HDMI 2.0 or above standards and therefore will not passthrough 4K HDR content to your 4K HDR TV.
But if you dont plan on buying a 4k HDR TV in the future and all you need is 4K without HDR then by all means please buy this. The audio quality is incredible and i have owned Marten Logan, Bowers Wilkens and Definitive Tech before and this is almost as good as those brands in sound quality. The bass is above average but its probably its weakest attribute.

lsdieselThe best optical digital can do is Dolby Digital Plus and DTS. This connection cannot do Dolby atmos or dts master audio. Keep in mind that digital optical connection is for Audio only and not for video.

AL13N1NV8D3RThanks for replying. Basically I want to have the best possible picture. HDR and 4K are a must for gaming. I’ll be running headphones for gaming anyway. For audio as long as it’s better than the tvs speakers I’ll be more than happy. Hopefully I enjoy this sound bar

lsdieselI know you will. Just connect your 4K HDR Bluray player directly to your LG B7 and have an hdmi ARC connected to your soundbar to enable all possible audio codecs to your soundbar. This way you will have 4K HDR video content whether its natively on the LG TV webOS or directly from an HDR Bluray. DO NOT passthrough your hdmi from bluray through your sound bar.
Enjoy!
Tip... You can enable both the TV built in speakers and use the sound bar OPTICAL audio at the same time giving in essence 2 extra speakers coming off the TV. Great for parties and music. There is a setting under audio of the LG TVs menu to set this.

AL13N1NV8D3R Unlike a lot of other people I enjoy the Dolby Atmos feature, so I have to run my LG sound bar using ARC. Issue with that is it takes up an HDMI port on my LG B7 which already is limited to a few. I wish they would take back some of those USB ports and add HDMI‘s
