Anyone using this with their TV? Looking for a cheap way to add better sound to my 46" flat screen LCD TV.

I'm going to buy these for my 26 incher. For the price, they look like a great set, especially given the good reviews.

I have a sony bravia hi-def, an Xbox and a Wii I'd like to use these for... Do you know if I'd have to purchase any additional equipment/cables, etc? I'm trying to purchase for my boyfriend for Christmas and I'm totally clueless when it comes to electronics.

Have been using these for over 5 years as my entertainment system. Plugged it directly into the TV for all audio. My xbox 360, computer and tv apps, raspberry Pi. I got a adapter so all speakers could be used and not use the "matrix" mode ( this mode really degrades the audio) Here is the adapter : 9 Inch 3.5mm (1/8") Male to 3x Female Stereo Splitter Audio Cable, Gold-Plated

This will deff. do it. I have my cable box hooked to these speakers, for the money even being computer speakers they are incredible and I have heard surround sound systems that cost over $800 and they sound just the same. I also have these connected to my xbox 360

Yes, buttt! The timing might be a little off and could sound simular to an echo effect. My sound bar is hooked up to optical connection. There should be a way to adjust this tv/soundboard timing, butt! I haven't researched this yet

Hi Notorious A.G.A, Did you succeed receiving sound from TV to external speakers using an optical cable? It doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using "External Speakers" setting in the TV with the receiver powered on. I hear nothing.

I have not tried it with the TV. Anyway, I don't think it's powerful enough to enhance the TV sound. It is great for the computer. It makes the sounds, especially conversations, much clearer.

I haven't tried it, but I imagine it would work the same as any other audio from your TV. I don't think the source matters.

BEatlefanI am driving a pair or Polk T15 Bookshelf Speakers that sit on my desk. They get quite loud yet still remain quite clean :)) . If your TV has RCA outs should be no problem

I went into tools and set it on amplify.That made the volume a little better. It seems the volume on all the HD tv's could use some improvement. So just play with the sound settings until you find one that is suitable. Otherwise you will probably need to invest in a soundbar. Hope this helps.

The connections are USB and a small green plug like you'd see with computer speakers, so I don't see how. Even if you could rig something up, I wouldn't recommend it. The speakers that come with the TVs today are already far superior to the sound quality produced by this product. Good luck.

I remember having that issue when I first hooked mine up as well. I think the source for your audio on the TV is messed up. Make sure you have audio coming out of the TV and not through a receiver or make sure the receiver will play the audio. I have to turn off my TV speakers in order for the audio to play tthrough an external source.

This sound bar will work with the your tv just fine. The only issue I have had with mine, was that sometimes my tv gets out of sync with the bar, as it doenst have a digital out. For the money, this is a pretty good setup once you get everything situated. It will be a bit longer than your tv. it is about 6 inches longer on both sides than your tv.

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.

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

I also bought a Samsung 120 watt surround with Bluetooth $149 on Amazon. But you will be surprised of the sound quality that the TV speakers omit, not to bad.

While the audio out on your tv works fine, I've found that you get better sound if you plug it directly into the audio out jack on your desktop set. (assuming you have cable or satellite tv.)

I have Vizio 42" full HD tv and the vizio 40" sound bar. Like others have said the size of tv and the sound bar is irrelevant. Just center it under the tv to make it look neat. And the sound bar sounds great my vizio tv can be set to Pcm, Dolby etc. and everything works fine. Especially right now i have trans siberian orchestra DVD playing and it sounds great.

I recently purchased the TV and am quite happy with the display. I wasn't very happy with the sound, but selected the customize (equalizer) option from the menu and adjusted it to my ears. Once adjusted, the sound was noticeably better and acceptable. However, if you want really good audio, I recommend you run the sound through a receiver and good speakers.

Since no one else has answered this, I'll give it a shot. I'm not really sure, but I don't think you would get sound if you hook up a DVD player or a cable box to this monitor, even if you are using an HDMI cable. Also, I don't know if there would be any way to adjust the screen size and resolution to get the best picture out of the monitor. There may be workarounds for both, but I've never tried it.
