LG has quietly removed DTS support from its 2025 television lineup, as revealed by detailed examinations of the new LG G5 OLED model. This change was identified through an analysis of the TV’s EDID settings, highlighting a significant shift in LG's audio strategy. Previously, LG had phased out DTS in 2020 but reinstated it for the 2023 and 2024 models, making this latest removal unexpected for audiophiles accustomed to the brand’s fluctuating support.
Despite the absence of DTS, LG ensures that surround sound capabilities remain robust through continued support for Dolby audio formats. However, the industry is observing a potential pivot toward Google's newly introduced Eclipsa Audio. Google showcased Eclipsa Audio on a prototype LG TV, signaling possible widespread adoption among major TV manufacturers. Samsung, for instance, has announced plans to integrate Eclipsa Audio aggressively across its TV and soundbar products, starting with the Q-990F soundbar.
