Is it better than the Coby CSMP88 Soundbar (the first soundbar to use 3D Sonic Emotion)?

I really don't know. It just does the job I need it to do, which is overcome all of the noise of a busy airport.

The Vizio 54" one, it hangs just about 1" longer than each side & so looks good underneath. Sound is much improved, for me it was a problem catching all the dialogue in a lot of films for these old abused ears & this has a dialogue enhancer & a treble control to adjust for help in this. Also it is one of the few soundbars that has a separate center channel ( for dialogue) without a subwoofer (too much for the neighboring apartments) but a sub can be added. Sounds much better than the set's built-in speakers & occasionally in some recent films the audio will sound mildly 3D, not a home theatre set up but improves the sound.

Jason A. Kentros comments on 5/14/2013:"This is a good soundbar, but if Bluetooth isn't a requirement I'd recommend the SB100, better value overall, and for those with your own subwoofer it's the obvious choice as the SB100 has a sub output."

Fair. I put a polk 9000 soundbars on mine because of the application I am using it for. Another one was sold to my father in law and he has no sound bar. No complaints.

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 ended up ordering the SC HTB520 Sound Bar with the Wireless Subwoofer from Amazon for $252.95 to be added to my new Panasonic Viera 55" Plasma TC--P55GT31 (bundled with Skype camera, Blu-ray, pair of 3D glasses, and Avatar). I'll know in a few days if it was a good choice or not.

I got this soundbar for a while now, i got no problems with it. I considered it the best because of the price and its functions. There might be better ones, but it will cost more definitely. I would suggest the same product line with a higher speaker and subwoofer output.

-My friend has a Vizio 40 " 2.1 soundbar .While has good bass response, he said my Sound Appeal xxx-5000 bass is richer ,deeper . Possibly because the Sound Appeal 5000 unit has an 8 " woofer and he said his Vizio has a 6 " woofer .. The Sound Appeal lessor cost model xxxx- 3000 has 6 " woofer and still sounds very good . THe Sound Appeal units , with both the volume on the remote woofers have separate volume controls and the soundbar has its own separate volume controls (WHICH I LIKE) ALSO : THeSound Appeal model 5000 has one more mid range speaker ( 3 ) on each side od the sound bar itself. . THe Vizio 40 " has 2 midranges per side . Both have a tweeter each side . Hope that this helps -My friend has a Vizio 40 " 2.1 soundbar .While has good bass response, he said my Sound Appeal xxx-5000 bass is richer ,deeper .

I do not know if the sound bar works on this tv but i do know that the sound on the tv could be better. now i wonder if the soundbar would be better for this tv i just bought.

No. I am also not happy with the product quality. I would reccommend a different soundbar.

The soundbar only has preset eqs and 3 level of subs. It doesn't have separate bass and treble settings. It's all presets

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 have no clue? dont really need soundbar with surround sound or visa versa? i would prob. just stick with one or the other.

I had an extra sound bar that gave the Coby much better sound. The tv has a nice picture and other than the sound issues, I haven't had any thing to complain about.

I dont think the 3D has anything to do with the sound. Audio on this unit is very good. May I suggest that you ask Vizio the tech question.

Absolutely! That's what I upgraded from. I only had the Bose 2.1 version (no rear speakers). I was sceptical of the vizio sub because it was smaller than the Bose but it shakes the house. I had to turn it down. Lol. Plus it's a wireless sub and true 5.1 surround! I love it!

Try the soundbars by ZVOX they are designed with dialogue as the most important feature
