LG Announces Curved Soundbar with Google Cast

LG announced plans to introduce a curved soundbar this fall to match its curved OLED TVs.

Part of LG’s Music Flow series, the wall-mountable LAS855M soundbar and its companion wireless subwoofer create a 4.1-channel system with 360 watts of power.

Highlights include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, Google Cast for “casting” music from smartphones and other Android and Apple devices to the soundbar, a multi-room mode to link up with other Music Flow speakers, HDMI passthrough, and an i-Sound mode said to automatically adjust output settings to match the content (sports, TV, movies, music, etc.). Out of the box, the soundbar is compatible with remotes from eight TV brands.

The LAS855M will sell for $699 when it ships to Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers in October.
