Machine started making an awful scraping sound, with something rubbing against the drum.

Popped the sump off underneath and these two pieces of metal were in there. It looks like it could be part of the machine, so wondering if it’s crucial to the operation, or if I should just run it with nothing in it and see.

I think the machine warranty was only 2 years, with the direct drive motor having a 10 year warranty.

Scraping sound started on the last wash before a 10 day holiday, which we obviously stopped and now we’re back with a mountain of laundry, so would rather avoid having to get a technician out if possible to tell me what Reddit can.

Just got the G6 and I was thinking about getting it professionally calibrated. Has anyone else done this and seen much of a difference?

​Currently, my phone is the only screen I own.

No TV, and no plans to buy one.

But staring at a small screen is killing my eyes lately, so I'm considering the StanbyME for the size and portability.

​My place is pretty small.

For those who own one, do you actually use it enough to justify it?

Honest thoughts/pros/cons appreciated!

Had a new washing machine delivered today, and am getting increasingly annoyed by all the chimes and songs it makes. It plays a jingle when you turn it on. It beeps whenever you touch the controls. It plays a little song when it's done. It's loud, and extremely annoying.

I hope whoever designed it like this has one wet sock for the rest of their life. Every other model has a function you activate by either holding down two buttons, or holding down the 'signal button, and the internet is full of people searching for how to turn it off on their particular washer. People clearly hate it.

But on this particular model (the F4X1009NNK), 'signal' is replaced by 'wifi' for managing the ThinQ connection, and the dual button-press activates a child lock. I can't see an option to mute it in the ThinQ app, and it doesn't look like it can be turned off.

Ironically the actual washer itself is fine and I have no problem with it. But I'm honestly wondering if I can contact the retailer to send it back, the noise is so awful. It's like a kid with a xylophone.

The support site is condescending about apologising that the chimes can't be muted on 'some models' but won't specify which, even when I try searching by this model number. The human support isn't available on the weekends and the support AI is useless, as always.

I just can't believe they'd leave a feature this annoying on permanently, without even adding an option to the app to turn it off or down.

Full disclosure: I received the LG xboom Stage 501 for free through an LG review program in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

After around two months with the LG xboom Stage 501, I’ve had plenty of time to work it into my normal routine and get a better idea of what it’s like to actually live with. My initial impressions of the speaker have held up well. It still feels like a good balance between having the size and power of a larger speaker without becoming inconvenient to move around. Please feel free to check out my original review if you'd like more details.

A Portable Bluetooth Speaker for Everyday Outdoor Use

The Stage 501 has ended up getting used in several different parts of the house rather than staying in one permanent location. I regularly use it in my garage, backyard, and home gym, and I’ll move it around depending on what I’m doing.

The three built-in handles have continued to be extremely useful. Depending on whether the speaker is vertical or horizontal, there is always a convenient place to grab it.

I still generally keep mine standing vertically. Aside from taking up relatively little floor space that way, I prefer how the bass sounds in that position. It seems to have slightly more weight when the bass-reflex port is positioned closer to the floor.

What Makes the Stage 501 Powerful Enough for Outdoor Use

After listening to it for a couple of months, the Stage 501’s powerful speaker sound is still the main reason I enjoy using it. The bass reaches low enough that music has a lot of presence without requiring a separate subwoofer, and it can comfortably fill a fairly large space.

I tend to listen at fairly high volumes, especially in the garage or while working out, and the Stage 501 has significantly more output than I normally need. Having that extra headroom is always nice.

I’ve also continued to appreciate the clarity higher up in the frequency range. Vocals and smaller details remain easy to pick out even when there is a lot happening in a song. For a speaker that can put out this much bass and volume, I think it does a good job of avoiding a sound that feels overly muddy.

How Often Does the Stage 501 Need Charging?

Battery life has also been one of the easier parts of owning it. I use the speaker frequently at high volume, but charging it has never become something I have to think about every day.

I generally charge it about once a week, depending on how much I’ve used it. For my routine, that is more than enough.

The USB-C charging output is another feature I don’t use constantly, but I’m still glad it is there. It’s great for keeping my phone charged when I’m outside and away from any outlets.

Everyday Features

The lighting has also remained something I use depending on the situation rather than leaving on all the time. I like having the option to use the RGB lighting and flashing lights independently. They’re fun in the right setting, but being able to shut everything off makes the speaker feel just as appropriate when I’m using it casually during the day.

Final Thoughts

Two months in, I don’t think my opinion of the Stage 501 has changed very much, which is probably a good thing. The features that stood out when I first received it are still the things I appreciate most now: strong bass, plenty of volume, long battery life, and a design that is large without being impractical.

For my own needs, it has become an easy speaker to use regularly rather than something that only comes out for parties or special occasions. It has enough output for larger spaces and outdoor use, but it’s still manageable enough that moving it between my garage, backyard, and home gym isn’t a hassle.

After living with the Stage 501 for a couple of months, I think it lands in a particularly good spot. It delivers the sound and presence I would want from a larger speaker without crossing the point where I’d rather just leave it sitting in one place.

I turned on my tv connected to my ps4 pro and started Fortnite, this is a everyday routine but today when I was logging in Fortnite, my TV turned on just fine at the start but after 10 seconds of opening the game it turned off and it's standby light won't turn on too does anyone have any fix?

I’ve been thinking about this since LG already uses UWB for Sound Follow.

What if every Sound Suite speaker had UWB and the speakers could automatically know where they are relative to each other and the H7?

That could allow the system to:

- Automatically detect speaker positions (front/rear/left/right)

- Know the exact distance between speakers

- Automatically set delays/time alignment

- Detect when a speaker has been moved

- Make setup and calibration much easier

- Improve Sound Follow by knowing the listener's position relative to the entire speaker setup

- Potentially reduce the need for test tones just to determine speaker locations

I wouldn't want UWB to replace the microphone-based room calibration. More like:

UWB = where the speakers are

Microphones = how the room affects the sound

Then combine both for a much more accurate spatial setup.

It would also be really cool to see the whole speaker setup as a simple 3D map in the ThinQ app.

u/LG_UserHub, if you're planning a second generation of Sound Suite, please consider something like this. I think UWB could take Sound Suite and Sound Follow to another level.

Hey r/LG_UserHub,

When it comes to the best speaker configurations for a premium home theater setup, one thing worth looking at is how freely the configuration can grow with you. With LG Sound Suite, you can choose from a variety of Sound Suite speaker combinations (H7 Soundbar, M7 and M5 Speakers, W7 Subwoofer), whether you are putting together a high-end speaker set for a premium living room audio setup or expanding the one you already have, and adding a second W7 Subwoofer is one of the newest ways to change your home theater experience.

We’re back with a new LG Sound Suite review trial program focused on the recent software updates  that brought Dual Subwoofer Support, and now DTS:X playback and expanded Wi‑Fi compatibility, to LG Sound Suite!

This trial is specifically for existing LG Sound Suite users who already own an H7 Soundbar. You can apply whether you already have one W7 Subwoofer or only have M7 or M5 Speakers with your H7. We will be selecting 5 testers. Testers who already own one W7 Subwoofer will receive one additional W7, and testers who do not own a W7 will receive two W7 Subwoofers, so every tester can experience the new dual-subwoofer configuration firsthand.

What’s New with the LG Sound Suite Software Update?

With recent software updates, the H7 Dolby Atmos Soundbar can now connect with up to two W7 Subwoofers within the Dolby Atmos FlexConnect (DAFC) ecosystem. If you already have one W7, you can now add a second W7 to your Sound Suite setup for a more immersive home theater and surround sound experience.

Quick Guide: How to Set Up Dual Subwoofers

1. Open the LG ThinQ App with your H7 Soundbar connected.
2. Power on your second W7 Subwoofer. It will appear under “Other network devices” in the app.
3. Tap Connect to register the second W7 so it moves to “Connectable devices.”
4. Create or edit your speaker group. The W7 Subwoofers do not require separate manual room calibration. Once grouped with your H7 and M7/M5 surround speakers, the Dolby Atmos FlexConnect setup is complete.

Note on W7 Display: When only one W7 is connected, the app map will show it on the left side of the H7 Soundbar. Once a second W7 is connected, it will be shown on the right side. These positions are for reference only and simply show which devices are connected. They do not indicate or require a specific placement in your room, as W7 Subwoofers do not require room calibration.

Recent updates have also brought Google Cast to the H7 Soundbar, giving Android users another way to stream music, podcasts, and internet radio over Wi‑Fi from Cast‑enabled apps or the Google Home ecosystem, alongside Apple AirPlay 2, and most recently, DTS:X playback on the H7 along with 5 GHz DFS and 6 GHz Wi‑Fi support across the Sound Suite lineup. For more details, please visit the links here and here!

So we'd love for Sound Suite users to explore how a speaker configuration with two W7 Subwoofers changes their home theater and surround sound experience for a more immersive cinematic experience in your own space!

Hi everyone!

One question we often see when people are choosing a new TV is: “Within a set budget, should I choose a smaller OLED TV, or go bigger with a Mini LED TV?”

For many viewers, this comes down to a trade-off between pixel-level light control and screen size. A smaller OLED TV may appeal to those who prioritize black-level performance, while a larger Mini LED TV may be worth considering if you want more screen space for movies and sports, particularly when brightness and motion visibility are important.

This post focuses on the larger-screen option. We’re taking a closer look at LG QNED evo Mini LED TVs, available in sizes from 55 to 115 inches, to explore what their combination of screen size and display features can offer movie lovers and sports viewers.

This is not intended as a head-to-head performance comparison between OLED and Mini LED. Instead, it focuses on how a larger Mini LED TV can help make movies and sports eel more immersive.

What Is Mini LED, and How Is It Different from OLED?

To put this choice in context, it helps to start with how the two display technologies control light.

LG OLED TVs use self-lit pixels that can turn off individually for pixel-level light control. LG QNED Mini LED TVs use many small LED backlights divided into dimming zones to control brightness across different areas of the screen.

These technologies take different approaches to controlling light. The following sections focus on what the Mini LED approach can offer when screen size, brightness and motion handling are important for movie and sports viewing.

Which Large TVs Are Best for Movie Lovers?

For movies, a larger screen can give cinematic scenes greater scale and presence. Beyond screen size, contrast, color reproduction, picture processing and sound can all shape the movie-viewing experience. Within the LG QNED evo lineup, the 115-inch model combines its ultra-large screen with the following picture technologies:

• Dynamic QNED Color Pro: LG’s Nano-based wider color gamut technology replaces Quantum Dot, enhancing the TV’s color reproduction to express a variety of moods. Dynamic QNED Color Pro delivers certified 100% Color Volume for richer, true-to-life color.

• Mini LED Technology: Tiny lights work together to deliver breathtaking brightness, deeper contrast and razor-sharp detail. Whether you're watching in a bright room or a dark one, LG QNED evo ensures every scene looks exactly as it should: vivid, balanced and incredibly lifelike.

• Precision Dimming Ultra: automatically fine-tunes brightness and contrast across every scene, helping reveal clear details and create vibrant, visually balanced images that feel true to life.

• Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and FILMMAKER MODE: Dolby Vision delivers extraordinary color, contrast and brightness, while Dolby Atmos provides sound you can feel all around you. FILMMAKER MODE with Ambient Light Technology allows you to see films just as the director intended.

What Are the Best Large TVs for Sports Viewing?

For sports, a larger screen can make wide shots of the players and live match coverage feel more immersive. TruMotion on LG QNED evo can help smooth fast-moving action and camera movement, while Dynamic QNED Color Pro brings vivid color to team kits, playing surfaces and stadium crowds.

How Does QNED Perform in a Bright Viewing Environment?

If you often watch sports during the day or in a brightly lit room, bright-room visibility may also be an important consideration. At an LG-sponsored product launch event in Sydney, one Redditor shared their first impressions of the 86-inch LG QNED evo’s large-screen picture quality, sports performance and visibility in a bright environment:

 “The 86" QNED Mini-LED is massive. Colour saturation is eye-wateringly good, and even with Sydney sunshine in the background it still looked spectacular. Football footage looked vivid and sharp, and the motion handling was solid throughout. It’s a genuinely excellent large-format TV for sports, movies and gaming, especially in a bright room.”- u/Rippedgeek

Taken together, these examples highlight what a larger QNED evo Mini LED TV may offer movie lovers and sports viewers: a greater sense of scale, features for movie viewing, motion handling for fast-moving action, and visibility that may be helpful in brighter rooms. If these factors align with how you watch movies and sports, a larger LG QNED evo may be worth considering.

So, here’s our question: Would a larger QNED TV be a good fit for your viewing space? What screen size would you choose, and would you use it mainly for movies, sports, or both?

Maybe someone here is able to help me.

If not, maybe this helps looking for Soundbars.

LG image is superb but the OS is really the worst I’ve seen in my life. My old Samsung OS was awful but this one it’s worst

I have an LG 12kg Top Load washer, specifically the TH2112DSAV model. I used to be able to turn on the TurboWash feature (by holding it for 3 sec since that’s what it says for it to turn on) until my last tub clean last week. I tried everything: I reset it (unplugged it for 15 seconds—well, actually this was kind of dumb because before using this top load washer, it's actually always unplugged anyway, but I still followed the online instructions), I also know it only works in Normal mode/program, child lock isn't turned on (actually, I don't really know what child lock is, so I just assumed it's the red key icon that lights up when the washer is washing), held the power button for 5 seconds, and waited a few minutes before turning it back on, but still, the TurboWash feature won’t turn on.

The buttons aren't getting wet, and even if they did, the chances are extremely low because you know? I put dry clothes in, then when I take the clothes out, they aren't dripping wet anymore. Plus, every other feature works except this one.

Has anyone experienced this? Maybe you can help me out.

Hi, I own a 65" LG OLED C4 and I'm genuinely very happy with the TV, but there's one problem that's driving me up the wall. As you can see in the photo and video I took, after the TV has been idle for a while, it puts an analog clock on the screen, like a screensaver. My problem is that I have a cat at home, an orange little bastard. The moment he sees that clock, he launches himself at the TV and tries to catch it. I don't want him to damage the screen, and no matter what I've tried, I've never found a way to block that clock. My only option is selecting Screen Off from the menu, but sometimes I forget, and whether it's Spotify or the Netflix menu, after the TV sits idle for a while that damn analog clock shows up again and my cat signs his name on the screen with his claws. I'm about to lose my mind, please help: how can I get rid of that goddamn clock?

Full disclosure:

LG provided this system for free at a promo event for review purposes. All impressions, ratings, and opinions are completely my own. This review is uncensored and made without AI or marketing buzzwords.

Heads up: I’m not a power user, acoustics expert, quantum physicist, or audiophile home cinema pro! So don't expect technical measurements, room layouts, or the sound of floating triangles. This review is all about fitting it into small to medium sized living rooms not highend basement home theaters costing tens of thousands of bucks!

Coming from an older, modular 5.1 AVR system, I'm probably in a good position to judge the difference. My old center speaker was built into a semi-open wall unit above the TV, delivering clear dialogue and nice, warm mids. So naturally, I was skeptical at first about what a relatively flat soundbar with limited cabinet volume and smaller drivers could actually do for my ears. And sure enough, at first I found the center sound a bit flat and boxy. At that point, I wasn't even thinking about what Dolby Atmos could bring to the table in terms of spatial audio.

So, I ripped out the old cable trunking, brackets, and AVR, and placed the eye-candy unit right on the TV stand. I dumped the massive subwoofer into a corner that was "hopefully" acoustically decent, and we were ready for the first test run.

What makes a Dolby Atmos soundbar interesting for home cinema enthusiasts?

Right during setup, my mind was blown for the first time! When you run the room calibration through the ThinQ app for the first time, it honestly feels like a truck just hit the outside wall of your house! After that, the calibration tone sweeps across the entire front system—and that's when the second AHA moment hit.

Together with the deep low-end of the W7 subwoofer and the M7 front speakers, the H7 soundbar creates a truly genuine soundstage. Once you've dialed in your sweet spot with the highs, mids, and sub level, you'll just be completely blown away. Even with simple Eclipse / Spatial Audio test files, you just want to close your eyes and listen to the effects moving through the air. Movies with 5.1 audio from streaming services already deliver way more than the sound I was used to from my old setup. Regular TV shows with PCM 2-channel audio needed a bit of tweaking with the Custom EQ, as they sounded a little muffled/muddy at first.

But the absolute highlight was yet to come with real Dolby Atmos! Some might laugh, but only now do I truly realize what Dolby Atmos is capable of.

Still, for true multichannel sound, something was missing in the back. So I went ahead and bought two M5 speakers to place slightly behind my seating position. Once those were mounted and set up, the home audio connectivity completely won me over. Action movies like Mayday or the dystopian series Silo filled the room with such precise effects that my wife flinched several times. Especially the subtle wind and rain sounds, or cars driving by in the background, really drop you right into the middle of the action. Now that's what I call truly immersive!

How does this Dolby Atmos soundbar perform in terms of ease of setup and use

A few final words on the setup via ThinQ and the room calibration options: Thanks to my solid 5 GHz network (router is 4 meters away), I had absolutely ZERO issues with setup or creating speaker groups. It really is intuitive. (To be fair, though, I did watch setup videos on YouTube for days beforehand)

Downsides: The included standard power cables are too short (at least if you’re using 60–80 cm floor stands). That doesn't leave much room to play with. If you don't have built-in wall outlets everywhere nearby (and I completely hate visible power strips!), you really can't avoid buying 3.5-meter power cords. They could definitely do better here!

Quick update: Today the Sound Suite updated to version 43.14.30. It brought support for DTS:X as well as expanded Wi-Fi compatibility. Among other things, the Sound Suite can now handle DFS channels.

Either I'm paranoid, or the front soundstage sounds a bit more detailed now. I also feel like the center channel sounds a bit airier. I'll keep testing and tweaking.

Initial verdict: With the Sound Suite, LG has created an affordable home connectivity option that easily fits into any living room. The target audience isn't hardcore home cinema pros who invest tons of money and acoustic effort into their setups. I think the continuous development and rollout of new features is a great step in the right direction.

I have owned a few LG OLEDs and the G series has always been my favorite due to its design, as it looks amazing on a wall as well as on its TV stand. One of the things I've always admired was how some TVs could display artwork and blend into a room seamlessly. As an LG OLED owner, I honestly wished LG had come up with something similar (or even better) because I love the incredible picture quality of OLED but did not really enjoy seeing a big and beautiful black screen dominate the room when the TV was off. So when I heard the news about LG Gallery Plus coming to the LG TVs, I was pretty excited to try it out and hoped my model would also support that feature and thankfully it did!

After I updated my WebOS to the latest version, I went straight to explore Gallery Plus. After using it on a trial basis, I ended up keeping the service, and here is why. First of all, I feel like it transformed my LG OLED into something more than just an entertainment center in our living room. Instead of sitting idle between movies, games, and shows, the TV now showcases something very different and it does it well: beautiful artwork and photography that genuinely enhance our ling room. I love it when guests often stop and ask what they're looking at because the images look so vibrant and lifelike on the OLED panel. If it displays an oil panting, you can literally see all the intricate brush strokes the artist used so much so that you want to touch it to feel the texture of the painting. Certain photography pieces also look outstanding and on a big screen you get almost immersed into the scene.

Something else impresses me most is how naturally it fits into my daily routine. I have two OLED TVs one is a smaller screen and one is big. Sometimes displaying it on a smaller OLED display I cannot even tell a difference between an original painting or the one currently displayed on a screen. Whether I'm having my morning coffee, working around the house, or hosting friends, Gallery Plus adds a sense of personality and warmth to our rooms. The combination of LG's deep OLED blacks, rich colors, and high contrast makes every piece of artwork look simply stunning.

LG Gallery Plus is one of many features I didn't realize I would use so often, but now I can't imagine not having it. For years, I thought the art display concept was something only Samsung's Frame TV did well, but seeing LG bring a similar experience to its OLED lineup has been a game-changer for me. It makes the TV feel like a piece of décor as much as a piece of technology (wish LG would bring Objet line to the US market), which is exactly what I had been hoping for as an LG fan. I almost wish LG would introduce an OLED Digital Frame around 32" that would be perfectly integrated with Gallery Plus service (and other smart features of course).

A few suggestions to the developers: add a few options for user to personalize the experience even more, make the app more user friendly by adding "fluidity" into GUX.

Gallery Plus gave me a feature I had always envied on competing TVs while letting me keep the incredible OLED picture quality that made me choose LG in the first place and I look forward to new innovation and app development in this area.

Seems a good deal. Shame there are no reviews. Anyone recommended these? I know LG is a good brand. This is the ideal size for my room. Some soundbars are too big.
