I bought this item because the sound on my Samsung 6000 40" TV was very poor (apparently a known fault as it is only 3 cms deep) and my wife had great difficulty hearing what was being said, so we looked for something to improve the general sound quality without too many bells and whistles and chose this as it is a compatible Sound bar without the additional sub woofer which we felt was unnecessary for our purpose (and which is a lot more expensive)
As this item is Samsung, the sound bar supplements the TV beautifully and is hardly noticeable sitting under the screen. (It is 95.5cm long, 10cm high & 4.5cm deep)I was unsure what connection is best so purchased an optical digital one, (although there is a audio cable supplied)and just connected it from the TV to the sound bar and hey presto, it all worked , with crystal clear sound, in all it's different modes, worked by the small remote supplied.(Music, News, Drama, Cinema, Sports, Game & Pass (normal)) (If your TV is Samsung it works some of those functions too) All in all a nice bit of kit, but then one has to ask the question, for the sake of 1.5 cms, why did Samsung not incorporate the features of this sound bar into the original TV, so making an additional purchase unnecessary? Is it a clever marketing ploy?
