The LG TV has a built in screenreader, but I only played around with it for a few minutes when we first got it since I really have no need to use it.

Or you just let the wife drive those things? And yeah the sonos app advises you to turn off the tv audio and set it as the sonos audio only. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, 27 October 2021 4:49 am To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Soundbar app accessibility As I just posted, we bought an LG TV pretty much exactly a year ago and have no issues with the TV and the Arc, but my wife did have to go into the TV settings because by default after we hooked up the soundbar it was set for audio to come from the external connection (the soundbar) and the internal TV speakers, but once that was done all has been good. I spend quite a bit of time reading about the slightly higher-end OLED TV's last year and more less had narrowed it down to this LG and a Sony model, but the LG I felt had slightly better specs and reviews and we have been very happy with it although I guess I should say my wife has because I just benefit from the audio and it comes from the Arc. I only briefly played around with the screenreader which is part of the LG Web OS platform and I didn't really learn how to use it, but it seemed OK. One thing the sales person at our local electronics store said was that he felt LG's Web OS platform was more user friendly than some of the Android ones and this TV has pretty much everything from Netflix, Disney and Amazon Prime to Apple TV built in and we haven't used our Apple TV since we had the TV. But as I mentioned, I only watch TV with my wife so she always does the driving so to speak and all I find useful is to know how to do Play/Pause and turn the volume up and down which on the LG remote are nicely shaped buttons in the shape of a Plus and Minus symbol, but of course when I sit on our couch I just have to reach out with my right arm to where the Sonos SL is mounted on the wall and I can use it to turn the volume up or down as well. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: October 26, 2021 8:37 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Soundbar app accessibility The Sonos app is completely accessible. If you can afford the roughly $650 for the Arc, (and have room for it) give it a try. It has Alexa or Google Assistant if one wants it, and it sounds amazing. IN fact, I would call Sonos and talk with them about issues that may be present with LG and see if they have a solution.

The Sonus ARC is quite pricey but most likely worth the cost if you choose to pay that amount. I've not heard the Sonus Beam but people claim it's quite good as well at a price tag of about $400. I'm looking at various models of soundbars comparing various features ... but I'm very interested in how the apps are accessible. I've got a LG TV and I find the LG apps less than accessible. And, although I'd prefer the Sonus product ... I've read where the Beam tends to have issues working properly with the LG OLED TV sound output. Therefore, I'm also looking at Bose and Samsung soundbars but avoiding LG due to their app issues. As a side note ... most lower quality soundbars or cheap ones don't often work with Alexa. Working together with Alexa is a must for me. I'm all about making my home smarter. Melanie -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
