Never have had a surround sound. Husband and myself have no clue what to get. We have a 60in Sony Bravia flatscreen. It only has the 64 resolution speen but, is HD. We don't really want a ton of speakers or wires. A soundbar with woofer could be...

Also the receiver you will require is part of the package. Take it out of the box, hook to TV as instructed. Place speakers and your set:).

No, I returned this model, the built-in speakers (6w total) were absolutely horrible. Bought the Sony Bravia 26in at 350 from Sears instead and there is a world of difference.

Nope for me too! See John's answer--the sound bars are good if a bit on the pricey side....for possibly more kicks at a bunch less dough grab one of Logitech's powered 2.1 systems...you'll get an e-z way to connect them to your TV [mini earphone jack], 2 satelite speakers and a nice little subwoofer. These are usually on the bright boomy side but I find them nice for contemtorary music. I did mention prices, right? I paid under 40 bux for my last set of logitech's...I'm not sure about these soundbars other than they were very costly at one time. So, do the math and spend well--Happy & Merry

Thanks for the info. I have thought of placing the Zvox next to the TV, but that may not give good surround sound. I have searched Zvox 550, it is only 3 1/2 inchs thick could place TV on it, a little more costly though. The TV is already higher than I like. By the reviews, Zvox seems to be very good.

you can adjust the sound thru your tv remote. go to settings then sound. I know you can have surround, just check the options. Mine i bought the philips sound bar ($98.00) with subwoofer. You can put the tv on mute or have the tv sound on. Works perfectly fine

I have an Onkyo 6.1-channel 3d bluetooth soundbar w/subwoofer paired with my 55GA7900. My room is slightly smaller than yours (by 2 ft, at the most), and that sound bar FILLS the room with sound. I was a little hesitant to even purchase a sound-bar at first considering I'm so used to the traditional 5.1 set up with the actual 5 speakers, but when they say 6.1, that's no joke, truly does a fantastic job of re-creating a true 6.1 surround experience. Subwoofer kicks major bass, it's adjustable (which not all sound-bar subs are), and it's wireless, which is a major plus. I would strongly recommend that one.

I have a Samsung sound bar on one tv and a sony on a second tv. Both are excellent. Just make sure you get a wireless sub woofer. The sound compared to the tv speakers is like night and day

I have no problem with the sound. The speakers are like any other tv speakers. If you're expecting room jarring surround-like sound speakers to each side or a sound bar would solve any problem. Just FYI, I have a 65" Vizio in the living room. I purchased a factory refurbished Vizio soundbar from Walmart online (saved a lot!), but usually it is turned off---UNLESS I'm watching an action movie and want to feel like I'm in the middle of the action. Hope this helps. Hope it wasn't TMI. Would be interested in what you decide.

The speakers are inevitably tiny. You could either get a surround sound that is optic fibre capable, or adjust your sound to "good enough". Let me give you a run down of how audio works on the tv. Treble is your high notes, bass is your low notes, and mids is more highs for this certain tv. There is an option for bass boost, you will want that. One of the things I'm glad i did(i live alone) is buy a wireless headset. Razer, or turtle beach makes a very...very nice set. They are 100$+ because its a 7.1 surround wrapped around your head. So if you watch tv alone, its worth getting. Other than that, with the adjustments i explained to you, have at it. If you need anymore assistance let me know! :)

I do not know the answer to that. I do know the sound on board is not very good. So I see why you want a sound bar.

I think the sound is really solid for built-in tv speakers, especially with dialogue clarity turned on. I'd still recommend getting a sound bar and sub for the best results, but its not at all necessary

It depends. Do you have a "real" stereo system in your house? Soundbars are cool for TV but I wouldn't say they pack much of a bass (so you feel it) punch. If you have a real stereo system (or surround sound system) with bigger speakers and/or subs, if you plug this thing into an AUX jack and stream you music through the larger system, I think you will like the sound.

I have a Bose surround sound system. Just a basic one with the 2 speakers and the sub. Works fantastic though! Love the TV. I have the Disney WOW BluRay disc coming today to help me calibrate the tv correctly. There are so many options with these new tvs it's hard to get them just right.... or at least it's hard to KNOW you have it just right.

i here that vizio is a very good brand. but, you are asking a person that bought the coby 32" for 208.00 for my bedroom and it is quite a great television. the only thing that i would do is purchase a reasonable price sound bar to throw the sound out more towards the front, but could partly due to watching the larger RCA in a the living room which is a large room and therefore the sound carries differenntly.I would purchase this television again without a second thought. hope the info helps!

Sorry for the dumb question, but what is a soundbar? I've never had to put one on a TV - I just have 5.1 surround hooked up to my current TV.

I did buy the 40in Vizio sound bar (older model) but got a really good price on it. The sound is definitely better than the TV speakers, I don't have a sub woofer hooked up to mine and i would recommend using one with the sound bar.

You probably would want to get a 29 inch soundbar. For appearance and continuity purposes, I thinkg having the tv and soundbar being the same lunch looks better than having a longer-than-tv soundbar.
