I am moving house and looking to purchase a new TV and 5.1 system. Sonos seems the natural choice as I have play 5/1’s around the house but current 5.1 is wired BOSE with Sony Bravia. the more I look the more I get confused. 2 key areas seem to be problems for other users of Beam 5.1 TV’s not converting Dolby Digital Plus to Dolby 5.1. Instead converting to PCM giving poor surround sound Lip sync issues between TV and Beam.My local audio company advised to go with LG C9 65 with Beam 5.1 however LG seem to have a lot of bad press regarding lip sync with play bars. ideally I want the new playbar over Beam however as it’s not released I’ll buy the Beam now and sell when the Playbar comes out. Can anyone recommend 65 inch OLED that will do the DD+ to DD 5.1 conversion and not give lip sync issues ??? Budget approx £2k for TV and £2k for sound system.

I have the LG OLEDC9 TV and that works great with HDMI-ARC and eARC and audio pass-through. It works just fine with my Sonos Beam. I have no issues with lip-sync, nor any problems playing DD 5.1 from its built-in Netflix/Amazon Apps.

do you have anything else connected with your beam? Sub? Surrounds?

I assume you are referring to the TV peripherals I have plugged into the C9 TV. Here they are...

VirginMedia V6 Cable TV Box 1TB
Apple TV4
Playstation
A couple of USB Storage Drives for additional recording from Freeview
