do you need soundbars for these newer tv's?

[the cool]

the 2017 tv's have pretty good sound or do i need to cop one?

i haven't bought a new tv in a long time and the older ones had some shytty speakers.

Absolutely

Absolutely

Really? It’s a must ?

Yes. If you aren’t getting a full blown surround sound system getting at least a sound bar is a must.

I installed a new tv at the school i work at and they bought a bose soundbar to go with it. The tv's speakers actually sounded better, so they returned it. YMMV, but i would maybe be careful about keeping the packaging intact incase you have the same result.

Living room - Yes
Bedroom - probably not

 

[daze23]

yeah, they try to have little or no bezel, so they put the speakers in the back

I would argue you want a sound bar in the bedroom, speaker set in the living room.

I will never go back to TV speakers.

Yes, I highly recommend it, the difference is

What's a good budget one?

They're for aesthetics pretty much. A receiver and speakers still work the same.

I know what you mean, but I had the full 5.1 onkyo setup for like 3 years. had a 55 inch Samsung, shyt was fire.

I switched over to this LG oled 55 around thanksgiving. got the LG sj9 sound bar to go with it. had the full dolby atmos

its incredible relative to what it is.

if you had a full 7.1 setup with dolby atmos, it would kill the sound bar, but thats an even crazier setup

They look better and are cheaper. I'd take a quality sound bar over budget speakers (def not touching a quality sound system though).

I find this hard to believe without it being faulty or installed wrong.
