What would be the advantages of having this sound bar if you already have a LG Smart TV?

Excellent sound quality and the ability to be a sound system for the computer and other inputs.

The TV sound is OK but the sound bar makes theatre like sound in the room. You can really tell the difference. As far as it having to be a 'smart sound bar' - the TV seems to be able to do everything the soundbar can do.

I find that it adds more depth to the sound. I have the TV you described, and the bar gives a crisper more defined sound. It does not compare with my 7.0 surround system, but it is a very good alternative.

totally different sound. more of a surround feel but not a true surround. highly recommend

I am unfamiliar with the particular product you are enquiring about, however: Your TV model has Digital Optical TOSLINK output. Providing your Sound Bar has Digital Optical TOSLINK input I would recommend instead: http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-TOSLINK-Digital-Optical-Switcher/dp/B00G188Z7A/ref=sr_1_9?s=audio-video-accessories&ie=UTF8&qid=1407943737&sr=1-9 (copy this link to your browser) The product is available from Amazon $31.95. You would also need two TOSLINK cables (Optical Digital Audio) - one from your TV to one of the input ports on the ViewHD connector and one from output port of the connector to the Sound Bar. Different lengths are available from Amazon. I have used this connector to link my HDTV, BlueRay player and Cable Box to my Sound Bar. One advantage is that when playing cable music channels and wanting sound only, I can switch sound signals to go direct from cable box to sound bar and leave TV off. This is a very useful connector.

I have a Samsung sound bar on one tv and a sony on a second tv. Both are excellent. Just make sure you get a wireless sub woofer. The sound compared to the tv speakers is like night and day

No not at all! The included remote allows you to access all options of the TV. HOWEVER navigating the internet and a few other things presents a bit of a challenge with the standard remote. The LG Magic remote makes things just a bit easier and faster, definitely a good addition/upgrade.

I can only respond that is does not work with Samsung apps on my supposedly Smart TV, and that each company claims the other for the shortcoming. It does improve the sound substantially over the poor speakers on all types of LCD and Plasma TVs.

Blue Tooth is not required to hook up to your TV. Standard Optical IN / OUT connections work fine. This allows synchronization of the Sound Bar with your TV Remote, whereby you utilize your TV Remote to increase the sound as normal, but instead of increasing the volume of the TV Speakers, it does so to the Sound Bar. I used the Sound Bar remote control to make some fine adjustments to the Blue Tooth Sub-Woofer (only needed to do this once). Sound is amazing overall. Highly recommend.

I am not sure. I have a LG tv plus the LG sound bar, and they work in unison. I have a Samsung dvd player with a HDMI cable. The sound bar is just ok, better than the tv speakers, but not a lot better.

My situation is much different from how you intend to use this sound bar. I am using mine as a substitute to the audio provided by my television. In my case there is No audio lag as I am using the optical audio port. I can tell the sound quality is great and it's easy to install and readily accepts the addition of a subwoofer. My suggestion is give it a try and if it does not meet your standards return it. One last thing as you may be aware bluetooth devices were never meant to be that far from their source device and also consider what other appliances are around it such as a wireless house phone.Just my 0.02, best of luck!

The soundbar is meant to replace the low quality tv speakers. It's not meant to be both on at the same time. That's why you get the echo.

Be sure to look at the audio output on your tv. I have a LG 60" and the only audio output is optical. I am going to buy the LG home theater system and these cans will plug into that system.

Yes. I own a 60" and a 70" Sharp smart TV and have the Vizio sound bar and bass woofer hooked to both of them. The sound bar works fantastic!

In answer to your question, that is an excellent idea to take advantage of the typical digital audio output jack on ones modern LED TV's now; as its much higher quality to use digital audio format audio signal of course;this would be both a definite qualitative and quantitative audio improvement and upgrade over the typical sound bar that one buys in most electronic mass retailing super stores; one will be able to hear and experience a much higher definitive level of audio quality with ones ears as these are professional digital audio reference monitor type speakers made by a professional Behringer branded pro audio company.

I have not seen any TV sold in America without speakers. NOW, the quality is another matter. I just added a sound bar to a LG 55" Google TV,,,,, and the difference is amazing. The TV speakers sound good --- until -- you fire up the sound bar.

The LG flat panel TV's have internal speakers. On the model we have the sound is very good and able to be louder than the LCD panel it replaced. There are several settings for altering the sound quality as well.

Sorry for the delay, you'd have to check your TV User Guide to be sure... but I do believe the Smart TV's offer wireless control to the sound bar; thus, provide access to sound control without any hassle. I do not have a Smart TV, so I had to use a Harmony remote...

the question should be how good is the sound on your large tv. i have a samsung 60 smart tv with very good sound. the jbl sound bar provides compatible excellent stereo/surround sound..great for concerts, movies etc. a great bass also. only negative- the remote sucks!

I think it depends on where and how you plan on using the TV. I have a medium sized living room approximately 400-450 square feet of space, and I do not have a sound bar. The sound from the integrated speakers is loud enough and clear enough for me. I play video games and watch a lot of blu ray movies and I haven't had any desire to get a sound bar yet.
