What is a best sound bar to get for this TV?

I ended up getting a Yamaha sound bar. I don't know if it's the best, but it does work great. Yamaha YAS-103 Soundbar with Bluetooth (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

The Sony HT-CT260 is my pick, with excellent sound quality, built-in Bluetooth, an adaptable design.

A friend of mine just bought a Sony the latest model and if I did'nt have a 5.1 system, that's the one I'd go with,especially if you're strapped for space. The Sony, sounds like a 5.1,by the way I love the Samsung.

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

Yes. The sound bar is a must in order to get the best sound quality from your TV. It works great and easy to hook up.

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 just the one surround sound so I can't say what's best. I can say that my Yamaha srround sound system is great with it. Of course source material takes consideration. Standard TV is okay, but my computer, Wii U, and PS3 sound fantastic.

I'm not aware of a sound bar that was intended to support this TV. I suppose if you found a sound bar of sufficient depth, you could place the TV on it.

I keep virtual surround on and it sounds good. Ideally, you should get a sound bar for this tv.

I got a Sony surround sound / DVD system that sounds great. Any sound system that has an HDMI connection will work good.

you're not looking for what your tv can input, you want the output for the TV. In case your TV still doesn't have an optical output then the sound bar has the analog inputs on the back. If you don't have an optical output (there should be a small, square hole with a red glowing light that shows that it is an optical out) then your set is outdated or a very cheap TV. If you don't have the optical out then the sound bar would not be beneficial since the analog input does not use the sub-woofer. Here is the manual to see what can go where. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/ephox/StaticFiles/PUSA/Files/Home/SP-BS23W_Owners_Manual_English_Nov_14_2013.pdf

I currently have two iLive sound bars - the most recent is the ITP 280B. Had it for a month and used it a couple of times - so far so good.

The sound is not great. The speakers are in the back and sound a bit muffled. You can raise the volume loud enough but some programs sound hollow. I would recommend getting a soundbar. The tv is great!!!

This question was posted over a year ago, but I'll answer: DO NOT buy the sound bar. It is terrible. Very low quality audio, crackles horribly when level nears top range. The television is louder than the sound bar (same crackle) The TV has an optical output, but the bar does not.

At the minimum I would suggest a sound bar--strongly suggest connecting tv to a smart receiver with surround sound. Don't get cheap now you already spent the money for a quality picture ---get the sound to match!

You don't need a sound bar. You can use the trusurround HD sound, the equalizer amplify effects. You have to adjust it to your preference.

This sound bar has a 3.5mm analogue input (aka headphone jack size) and two optical (TOS Link) inputs. If your TV has an optical out you would purchase a compatible cable to take the TVs output and input it in the sound bar.

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.

The TV sound is OK but the sound bar makes theatre like sound in the room. You can really tell the difference. As far as it having to be a 'smart sound bar' - the TV seems to be able to do everything the soundbar can do.

I don't know about a sound bar. I use a Denon 7.1 surrround sound and it works really great.
