Anyone know if you buy a new LG TV and Soundbar that includes netflix promo, that you can actually take advantage of both? 12 months on tv and 6 months on soundbar?

It might be possible to combine both, but you have to be sure that the validity dates for the purchase of each of the devices is accurate. I was able to get the 6 months netflix deal based on when I purchased this soundbar and the specific vendor from which I bought it. They have specific vendors and dates that the promos are valid for.

the new update doesn't include Netflix(updated my player lastnight BD.4.874.00) it's very clear on amazon,and LG site.nothing mentioned about Netflix. 550 and up models do. from LG rep " We actually had models before this one that have Pandora. At this price point we are limited on the apps we can add due to hardware, license fees, etc. We never said this model has or will have Pandora,netflix" plus if u check netcast it does say "features vary by model and category"

this issue with pandora is really upsetting. i called and was told radio apps dont belong on a tv yet they already have a radio app. if i could i would return the tv but waited beyond the 30 days. lg still doesnt get customer support!

Just got off the phone w/ LG tech support and they confirmed that you have to manually set the box to 720p (or presumably 1080i) when you want to use youtube, your own media, and netflix. This seems to be an issue w/ the latest firmware, b/c it was working w/ *auto* before the update. Pushed the tech person to understand how silly this is, but got nowhere. My goodness, just set the output to 720p or 1080i when streaming any of the services that can't support 1080p. Hopefully a new firmware update will be forthcoming.

I'm doing a trial of Prime, and I'm afraid if the streaming won't work, there's little point in actually signing up - Netflix will have to do for now. I think Prime has some great content, but I'm not keen on camping in front of my PC to watch the movies - much rather be able to watch over the game console on the actual TV. Too bad - it's a great price, even compared to Netflix, but steep for the limited capabilities.

Depending on the TV you buy, you may now end up saving more than you would have saved by that Combo. For example, if you bought the tc-p50GT25, you are going to save $180 more than you would have 2 weeks back. the price for the starter kit hasn't changed from the time it was a part of the combo. I would suggest you wait one more week and you'll probably see better offers. Do continue to monitor the inventory though and pull the trigger if the inventory is falling.

I too saw on the LG site that this was an Amazon rather than LG decision. Really disappointing - I'm coming up on renewal time for my Amazon prime and may just op for Netflix instead, where I don't have to buy extra equipment.

The sound is actually pretty good, but I'm still getting a sound bar and wireless base. Since this is a Sony system, can anyone give me Sony model numbers that they like the best and why? My TV is the 550 70". Thanks.

I have a Sony internet TV. I get Netflix through Wi Fi. Sound connection from TV to AT Soundbar is optical. I do not have to have Blu-ray player on.Ron Perkins 12/10/13

I bought that Sharp TV 3 days ago and at the time of check out I was surprized by the offer for a free Blu Ray player. Put it in your cart and see what happens. I did not know about the promotion, so it was a complete freebie to me

love the sound bar....I just installed it the way they said to do it and I watch netflix all the time.....the great thing about the samsung is it has different settings you can press a button to get at will....cinema, news, drama, etc.my tv is a sony....2 years old.I HAD the yamaha prior....lots of trouble with, and except for looking great was a pain....Costco replaced it with the samsung and I've had it almost a year. Only thing I hate is having to use 2 remotes, but I'm used to it now.Good luck!

It doesn't attach to the Tv. It attaches to the wall. Or you can put it on a stand. you'll have to use an optical cable or AV cable to connect it to the TV. You may have to remove the tv from it's mount to get access to the inputs in the back of the Tv.How does this have anything to do with the cost of the soundbar anyway?To the OP, I've only seen it for $299 as well. If you buy it from here, at least you don't have to pay tax.

I have been happy with my LG. I think Samsung is a great option when on sale. The Sony's have seem to have lost their technology edge and are a little overpriced, but worth it if you find them on sale.

Great price! How did you negotiate down from the MSRP to $2,100? Did you do this in the store and talk with a manager? Was it part of a package deal (tv, blu-ray, surround sound, installation, etc.)? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

Sorry for the dumb question, but what is a soundbar? I've never had to put one on a TV - I just have 5.1 surround hooked up to my current TV.

Just to piggy back on something in one of the posts (LG) I'm shopping for a new dvd player because my LG just tapped out after 11 months and I maybe viewed 10 movies on it. And yes the costs of labor exceeds just buying something else.

I love my Smart TV. We have Netflix. It works great. Picture and sound quality is very, very good. We take turns, because everybody wants to look at the Netflix movies on it. Thinking seriously about purchasing another tv. We also have connected to our wi-fi and it works wonderfully. Wish we could use a keyboard with it. That's my only issue. No problems or complaints about it.
