These sound great, crustal sound and amazing bass, I do love them, and they are supposed to work even better with a sharp device

You can hook it up with the regular red and white audio cables, optical cable or an hdmi cable the system comes with the regular cables and the optical cable. I have mind setup with the optical cable and it sounds great.

I bought a Samsung 120 watt sound bar with a subwoofer but the TV speakers are better than I expected. I also bought a Sony blue ray player and would definitely recommend optical audio and video cables. But their are rca inputs in the TV.

At the minimum I would suggest a sound bar--strongly suggest connecting tv to a smart receiver with surround sound. Don't get cheap now you already spent the money for a quality picture ---get the sound to match!

I have a Bose surround sound system. Just a basic one with the 2 speakers and the sub. Works fantastic though! Love the TV. I have the Disney WOW BluRay disc coming today to help me calibrate the tv correctly. There are so many options with these new tvs it's hard to get them just right.... or at least it's hard to KNOW you have it just right.

Any digital sound bar will work fine. Regarding brand, your choice.However, unless you are looking to have the surround sound experience, I found that you don't need a sound bar as the quality of Samsung's internal speakers equal those of 'cabinet' speakers. I've owned 4 Samsung TVs, currently 2, and have yet to be disappointed with their sound. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

The surround sound is good, I use it playing Battlefield 4 and I can tell where everything is coming from. *disclaimer * I am no audiophile :-)

IMO if you are buying a nice 55" tv or any nice HD tv IMO, you should have a nice HOME THEATER SYSTEM to go with it. I dont even use the built in speakers ever... so that isnt a concern to me.. I cant see watching a 55" 3d tv with built in speakers and for the record, they dont sound good at all..

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

I dont know anything about sound systems. I can tell you that it makes our 47" visio tv sound better. It was easy to hook up and the price was mid range for what I was willing to spend. It does what I wanted it to do.

This TV has great stereo sound. I usually listen to it with headphones. Any computer speakers should work just fine.

Thanks for checking this for me! Yeah, I've been checking out the 4061 as well, but right now they are very close in price, so I thought it would be nice to bump up in CR and get the better sound (especially sine I won't be hooking up surround in this location - above fireplace in LR.) The 4066 sold by Worst Service has the exact same panel, but the sound is not as good since they ditch the side speakers to narrow it. Not worth it. I'll probably go with the 4061 since I know it'll fit and also seems to be an outstanding TV.

Sound bars pretty much look like the center speaker you would have, but a bit bigger (depending on the brand and version) and attempt to emulate a surround sound experience.Obviously, you never get the full surround sound you will have with your 5.1 system, but it saves you alot of space, almost no wiring (generally, it will be a cable hooked up to the tv, and another for the woofer, with some woofers connecting wirelessly). Would work best in smaller rooms, or for those looking to augment the typically poor sound emanating from the flat screen tvs. Their prices vary from under $100 up to $1500+ Amazon has a huge selection. While at bestbuy, I listened to a few of them, with the Sony CT150 and the PolkAudio 3000/6000 producing the best sound for my taste (samsungs were horrid, and Boston Acoustic [dont remember which one] seemed muffled).

The optical cable is a nice-to-have. An HDMI cable will do the trick (it won't carry Dolby if your TV can produce it).

Unless watching a movie, I usually just use the TV speakers. If watching a movie I use my surround system which is an Onkyo 1000 watt system with 6 speakers and a sub woofer. It works great.
