do you need soundbars for these newer tv's?

[Stir Fry]

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

Maybe it was. I wasn't the one that handled that part of the installation. It was actually the IT people lol. I heard it, and the tv did actually sound pretty damn good though.

Living room - Yes
Bedroom - probably not

shyt even in my bedroom I got some basic ass PC speakers connected to my lil 32 inch

These new TVs are fukking trash in the audio department, starting to think purposely so.

What’s your budget?

$150

It depends on what SKU of the tv you get. Some TVs have the same screen but upgraded speakers. Generally if the tv is super thin, the smaller the speakers are

 

[Ciggavelli]

Definitely yes. Some of the high end TVs have terrible sound out the box. They assume you have a soundbar. It’s basically a given that you have to buy a sound bar or some surround setup

Yeah TVs now want the be as thin as possible and on top that’s the place where they cut corners on cost. They’re using cheap android phone quality speakers

bedrooms don't need it, already feels like surround in the bedroom if u set ur tv audios settings correctly



I'd only recommend copping one for the living room since theres usually more space and sound isn't easily bouncing around like it is in a bedroom

 

[TransJenner]

Really? It’s a must ?

Just get a soundbar with a mini amp
They’re pretty cheap

Just bought a soundbar, having second thoughts

Wondering if I should have went the receiver and 2.0 route to start off.

Nah, you made the right decision. Standards, inputs, etc are still in flux. When that shyt is figured out in the industry, it will be time to buy a receiver

In our bedroom, I got a little mini amp running two extra satellite speakers I had laying around. Been really happy with it.

I like to have good sound for immersion and a sound bar that comes with a sub woofer is ideal for mimicking surround.
