| LG TVs and Soundbar Reviews Looking for a new TV? We’ve done an in-depth review of two of LG’s newest OLEDs and a soundbar. The LG C4 evo OLED is a mid-range OLED TV that provides the true OLED experience at a more affordable price. It is superb in every respect. When we say mid-range, the LG C4 evo OLED (α9 AI Processor) is a step up from the B4 OLED (α8 AI Processor, which is pretty good) and not much of a step down from the G4 evo OLED (α11 AI Processor). The B4 costs about $1000 less (review to come). The G4 costs about $1000 more, is brighter, uses a unique MLA screen coating for superior reflection handling, has a 5-year panel (parts only) warranty, and has a 4.2 sound system (2.2). We will review that separately. Why is evo OLED so good? The LG G4 evo OLED takes OLED TV to a new high with fantastic brightness, true natural OLED colours and inky blacks – it is simply the best OLED experience you can aspire to. The most significant upgrade in the 2024 G4 compared to the 2023 G3 is the A11 processor versus the A9 Gen 6. According to LG, this powerhouse delivers a 400% AI performance boost, a 170% graphics performance improvement, and a 130% general processing improvement. These enhancements allow the TV to handle process real-time images (up to 144 frames per second) with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Our verdict is crystal clear  |
| The LG S95TR 9.1.5 is one of the very few true Dolby Atmos soundbars using discrete three-way wireless rear speakers instead of vastly inferior virtual psychoacoustic faux Dolby Atmos. It is, frankly, outstanding. At $1699 (often seen as low as $1250) and less when purchased as a bundle with an LG TV, the LG S95TR 9.1.5 Dolby Atmos soundbar offers exceptional value for money. This is the soundbar that every fan of Dolby Vision/Atmos or DTS:X content should consider. Its excellent 2.0 to 7.1 free-to-air TV or digital streaming sound upscale enhances your viewing experience. How CyberShack judges a soundbar? |

| Buddy Telco is a new low-cost off-shoot brand from Aussie Broadband aimed at the value self-service market. The question to ask is whether the Qantas/Jetstar move was a success. You bet it was, and so will this. First, Aussie Broadband was the germ of an idea in 2003 by two hard-working Aussie blokes, Phillip Britt and John Reisinger, in regional Victoria. They saw how frustrated people were with the major internet providers. We won’t go into details, but they merged Wideband Networks and Westvic Broadband to focus on Victorian regional areas, South Australia and Northern Territory. We invited Jonathan Prosser, Chief Strategy Officer from Aussie Broadband to talk about this new brand. Here are some more thoughts on Buddy Telco |
