Do I really need a 47" sound bar for a 47" TV or is that just a marketing ploy?

a 47" sound bar would be wider than most 47" TVs. The LG 47LA7400 is only 42" wide so this sound bar wouldn't look right with it. It would suit the 55LA7400 almost perfectly since the TV is 48" wide. Measure and get one that will fit the width of your TV the best.

Umm... I don't know about these other comments, but to get the seperation of Left and Right Audio, the length of the SoundBar does matter. If you're using it just to upgrade the original TV Speakers, then no. If you want the surround effect which these SoundBars are meant for, yes. The more space between the SoundBar Speakers, the more Stereo Seperation (Sound from Left and/or Right) you get.Hope this helps!

The "47 inch" in the name of the sound bar does not refer to the actual length of the sound bar but instead to the TV size with which this sound bar is recommended to be used. The actual length of the sound bar is 43 inches. Pretty much all manufacturers use this naming methodology.

No. It just fits nice. But you could have a shorter one if you wanted, or longer. It just measures up the same as the TV.

I don't think the length has anything to do with performance. I think the length is more cosmetic & maybe for convience.

Will it improve the sound of TV? Absolutely. The array of speakers on the bar alone provide better sound and the subwoofer, though comparatively modest as subwoofers go, truly fills out the bottom end. We don't have the system on all the time, just when we watch shows with music or movies. and the difference is dramatic. There are much better soundbars out there but they all cost a lot more. For our bedroom TV, a 32" Sony, it works very well indeed.

i don't see why not. i put a 42" flat screen on it. the base fits fine. i think your only concern would be the size of the base of the 47" tv. measure it. weight is not an issue.

The sound bar will need a cable INPUT from TV AUDIO OUTPUT and should have come with one of these, optical cable, RCA or 1.5 plug.

I currently have a 46' and i still have space to fit a bigger TV. You could fit a 47'easily but I think you could go up a 50' that's just me. The stand has a sticker on the back that says it holds a max of 95 pounds so you be the judge from there on. I hope I answer your question. ^_^

Even if you adjust the shelves; the 40inch sound bar would not fit but it will fit on top on the shelf in front of the TV. That is how I have mine...Hope this helps

Yes it is, I also have a 32" tv, however I am using this sound bar on a 42" tv because it's a perfect match. On a 32" tv the sound bar will be a little wider than the TV itself. This is only an issue if you don't like the look. If your 32" tv doesn't have the "arc" output on the 1st HDMI port you will miss some of the convenience, however the sound bar will work fine.

Yes. Thats actually one of the reasons why I got it for my room :) My tv is 32" .

I bought a sound bar for my T.V. The sound from the set itself is not too bad, but not good enough if you have a big living room.

Sound bars are a waste of money unless you are spending over a grand and in that case, get a full blown surround system instead. This TV doesn't sound great but a sound bar won't improve anything. Trust me. I've tried many of them.

The dimensions of the space where the TV fits are 41.5 inches across and 32 inches down. I'm pretty sure a 47 will be too big.

As a soundbar junkie I have owned them all and tried every mounting position that can be done,,,, my feelings are that soundbars almost always sound better mounted above a TV/display. 52" above floor level is not that high at all,,,,, I was experimenting with my Sony CT-100, Sony CT-500 and my Vizio Soundbar w/wireless sub and found one of the BEST spots for mounting was 7' from the floor, at 7' high the sound has nothing to block the reflective sound coming from the soundbar such as curtains, paintings on the wall and such. Each room is different though, but for me the higher I place my soundbars the better they sounded. Cheers Davyo

Stephanie B., it is okay to use the Sound Bar with a 52-in TV. I currently have it hooked up with my LG HDTV. Clarity and its dynamic surround-sound like acoustics make it a perfect speaker system for the tv. I especially enjoy the blue tooth connectivity option, allowing me to connect with other blue tooth enabled appliances.

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 find that it adds more depth to the sound. I have the TV you described, and the bar gives a crisper more defined sound. It does not compare with my 7.0 surround system, but it is a very good alternative.

This is not a sound bar like you see elsewhere. This is for an amplifier. I'd just search for a nice sound bar that can usually be hooked into the output of your TV.

My TV is a 26" Sony. While the sound bar is considerably wider, 37 inches, it pretty much depends where you intend to put it. I have mine on a shelf above the TV and it works just fine. Or you could put it on a lower shelf or even on the floor. The sound bar has a very nice sound and I can't imagine the need to purchase a more expensive model.
