Neither LG SJ8 nor LG SJ9 were recommended by experts this month

On 5 Apr 2024 (21 days ago) we went through 95 Sound Bar expert endorsements , however neither LG SJ8 nor LG SJ9 were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Sound Bar received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at Samsung HW-Q990C or other critically acclaimed Sound Bars of this month.

For reference, Samsung HW-Q990C received 6 endorsements this month, from Digital Trends (7 Mar 2024), WIRED (14 Mar 2024) TechHive (6 Oct 2023) and 3 others.
