LG SK1 (reworked) review
Test scoreShow Context
LG has reworked the SK1 sound bar, which launched in 2018, to improve its performance. It sits at the cheaper end of the market, so it's hardly surprising that it isn't exactly bursting with features. It does have Bluetooth, so you'll be able to play tunes from your mobile or tablet, but with just a 40W output, can it really deliver the sound quality you're after? Read our expert review to find out whether this sound bar is a bargain or best avoided.
