The problem is that users lose 120Hz and variable refresh rate, which was the point of buying an LG OLED to begin with. Even then, the delay is still present, just less noticeable.įor Xbox Series X, one user on AV Forums (opens in new tab) points out that by switching the audio format in the Xbox settings from Dolby Atmos to DTS can fix this annoying delay issue. It requires a lot of specific fiddling between internal TV speaker settings and Dolby Atmos settings. The only solution I've found that kind of works is from a two-year-old Reddit thread (opens in new tab). Switching from eARC to analogue out via an optical cable is also an option, but one with significant drawbacks in audio quality. Of course, the problem here is that this solution eliminates some of the oomph that Dolby Atmos brings, especially in regard to its 3D audio experience, as broken down in our Dolby Atmos Explained article. Solutions to minimize audio lag include changing the digital sound out from Auto to Passthrough or switching off Atmos completely for 5.1 uncompressed.

It's a sentiment I share, as do many others that saved up for an LG OLED. "I love the TV otherwise but it's a common issue with LG OLEDs and it's crazy to see that with a $1500+ TV," said user fracas (opens in new tab) on an Resetera forum thread.
