Sieghard ... we have the exact same LG TV ... and, I, too, love the remote. I've not read where the Sonos ARC has any issue with this TV but I was looking at the Sonos Beam. I've read that the Beam tends to lag in audio behind the video output on the LG OLED TV that you and I now have. Maybe the newer model fixed that lag. I hadn't wanted to buy the ARC due to it's price ... but maybe I'll need to break down and suck up that price.
