- DTS -SUPPORT appears to be removed from 2025 LG -TVs
- Almost all streaming services are dolby not dts
- Your AV streamer or sound bar may have a dts duck codes
The story seems to be repeating: LG has removed DTS support from its OLED tv from 2025, including LG C5, just as it did by 2020.
The EDID information on the LG G5 – The information that tells audio and video sources noted by TV -Correct Reader TEOH (via Flatpanelshd) – the information that tells audio and video sources what formats a TV supports – does not include DTS sound.
When LG brought DTS back in 2023, we said it was good news for home theater lovers as it would give them support for content that did not use Dolby Atmos. But it seems that, according to LG’s internal data, there were not many such users or much of the content played on LG-TV: Dolby was by far the most widely used surround sound format.
It’s pretty much because Dolby and Atmos are the preferred format for the best streaming services. The one notable DTS emergency, IMAX -Refined streamed by Disney+, was not supported on LG -TVs due to its special variation in the format.
The models in 2025 will only be dolby-but it doesn’t mean you still can’t enjoy DTS sound tracks.
How to get around the lack of DTS on 2025 LG -TVs
The problem here is about decoding. DTS is a compressed audio format and that means you need a device that can’t compress it and send it to one of the best audio beams or your home theater speakers.
However, if your TV is removed from the equation, it does not matter if it supports DTS.
If your TV cannot decode DTS, you may have other devices that can. So if your source device is connected to an AV recipient who is DTS compatible, you don’t have to worry if your TV has DTS: The decoding is happening on your recipient, not on your TV.
With sound beams, it’s a little more complicated because you need a sound beam that supports HDMI review as well as DTS so the sound beam can handle the sound and send the video to the TV.
Many models do not offer this connection, although the most advanced or mid -range models from Sony, Samsung and LG do. You can connect one of the best 4K Blu-ray players or other DTS source directly to Soundbar’s HDMI input and then connect the TV to the other port and the sound bar will take and decode DTS sound.
If it’s not an option, there’s one more thing you can do: If your LG TV (or any other TV) doesn’t have the ability to decode DTS, but your 4K Blu-ray players do, you can usually set the player to decode DTS and to send out uncompressed audio.
Try to set your player’s audio output format to LPCM, often labeled linear PCM. This format can be transferred through the TV to your Surround Sound sound bar without any concern about format at all, even if you lose the spatial sound of DTS: X.
It’s a shame that LG has dropped this format and we’re not sure LG -TVs, which are probably adding Eclipsa sound in the future, will really compensate for it.
However, in the next few months, LG’s 2024 TVs will remain for sale, including LG C4 and LG G4, and is undoubtedly better value than its 2025 models-double, so if you want DTS support …
