What sound bar would you recommend to improve sound quality for this model?

I really like the Vizio line because the products combine great sound with crazy low prices, especially the older models. Anything with a model number starting with "VSB20(XXX)" is good. [I.E. - VSB200 at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002EPF6YO/ref=s9_dcbhrz_bw_g23_ir01_bs]. I own 2 VSB200's and 1 VSB210WS which has a wireless subwoofer. They all have three inputs (2 analog and 1 TOSLINK digital) and include "WOW SRS" sound processing, which does a decent job of expanding the soundstage and adding "5.1-like" depth. Tiger Direct occasionally has refurb units at $59 (VSB200) or $89 (VSB210WS)

I keep virtual surround on and it sounds good. Ideally, you should get a sound bar for this tv.

You will need an amplifier. If you don't already have one, you should probably consider a sound bar with a built-in amp

get a samsung sound bar... or get a receiver and klipsch speakers and connect them to your tv...just like what I did. It's a home theatre.

I use a soundbar on my 53 inch sharp located in br and it greatly improves sound quality

The sound is not great. The speakers are in the back and sound a bit muffled. You can raise the volume loud enough but some programs sound hollow. I would recommend getting a soundbar. The tv is great!!!

I am not a techie by any means! I purchased the LG Smart TV & very happy with the picture..come to find out, the new TV's are thin, the speakers are small & in the back. For my purpose this inexpensive sound bar is perfect. It isn't by any means a high end sound bar.. To answer your inquiry, I can lower or raise the sound to suit the chanel I am watching. I am very happy with it. Hope this helps.

I had an extra sound bar that gave the Coby much better sound. The tv has a nice picture and other than the sound issues, I haven't had any thing to complain about.

I did buy the 40in Vizio sound bar (older model) but got a really good price on it. The sound is definitely better than the TV speakers, I don't have a sub woofer hooked up to mine and i would recommend using one with the sound bar.

I bought a sound bar for my T.V. The sound from the set itself is not too bad, but not good enough if you have a big living room.

Most sound bars support either optical audio or HDMI for best quality configuration. It may be unclear which will provide the best sound. Both optical audio and HDMI support multi-channel audio, like Dolby Digital, but HDMI is capable of transmitting slightly higher quality than optical. In any case, the easiest is to connect either optical audio or HDMI from your TV to sound bar. In summary, always connect the driver output source devices (e.g TV, DVD, Media player, etc.) into the sound bar via optical audio or HDMI (if supported). Avoid the analog connection like RCA cable.

The sound bar has an rca out to add extra accessories that require a signal....even another bar. The audio is ok...for the size of the bar it's good...Not to be fooled by systems that offer a separate woofer for those low notes. It seems to boost the 50-60hz range to make up for the lack of lows.

to me sound is no worse than other tv"s. i just wonder how you get a sound bar to work with this tv?

I found the best sound was directly to my TV with an HDMI cable. I tried running an Optical Audio cable to my cable box and it caused a sound delay which was really annoying, but you can also connect the Optical cable from your TV directly to your Panasonic SoundBar, but it wasn't any better than just the HDMI to me so the less wires the better for me. Good luck with it, I love mine, I've had it a couple years now and it works great, I have another one in my theatre room.

What do you suggest to improve the sound? I just ordered the TV - don't want to raise the roof or anything but don't want the sound to not match the picture. Thanks.

No. I am also not happy with the product quality. I would reccommend a different soundbar.

I have an Onkyo 6.1-channel 3d bluetooth soundbar w/subwoofer paired with my 55GA7900. My room is slightly smaller than yours (by 2 ft, at the most), and that sound bar FILLS the room with sound. I was a little hesitant to even purchase a sound-bar at first considering I'm so used to the traditional 5.1 set up with the actual 5 speakers, but when they say 6.1, that's no joke, truly does a fantastic job of re-creating a true 6.1 surround experience. Subwoofer kicks major bass, it's adjustable (which not all sound-bar subs are), and it's wireless, which is a major plus. I would strongly recommend that one.
