The JBL Link Bar Sucks - Dont Buy it

by TotallyFrankstallone
  1. The Google Assistant is so laggy it is not usable.
  2. The builtin Chromecast does not have the ability to cast to itself. So if the assistant on the device answers you will not be able to cast to the same device.
  3. The Android TV instance is non-standard and riddled with bugs.

As other people have said in other threads here - buy a stand alone soundbar with an external device. The all-in-one nature of this device makes it a disaster.

For as long as they delayed it you'd figure they would have worked all that out.

Did anyone else receive an update that enabled HDR on Link?

We can't even buy add on subwoofer for the Link Bar in UK. We have the pairing button just can't buy the subwoofer.

Can you give an example? I haven't seen this issue with mine.

Do you have examples? What is non-standard? What bugs?
