Sound bars.
Damn I wish I’d bought one of these sooner, utterly transformed the tv sound. Good job we don’t get on with the neighbours!
Re: Sound bars.
What did you get? I want a better one.

Re: Sound bars.
I always had my TV through my separates but most recent TVs didn't have plugs that were compatible so got a Panasonic bar with sub and although not as good as the much more expensive separates it does make a big difference over and above the TV sound. No idea what model I got, think it was around £250 ish.

I have a toslink optical output from the telly going into a little converter box thingy to provide rca input to my 31yr old NAD 3240PE. Have used this on a couple of different tellyboxes over the years.

I found a Sky Devialet sound box on ebay for 30 quid which sounds a lot better than it has any right to for the size of it.
Tenpted to get one for the kitchen now as its goy bluetooth as it sounds better than the Sonos!

Re: Sound bars.
I did get some sort of optical thingy but there was a delay that was noticeable. Probably a "get what you pay for" thing as I am fairly sure it was cheap.

Re: Sound bars.
I've got about a quarter second delay on my soundbar that can't be adjusted out. Issue is that telly doesn't support ARC, so the only way to get sound is using a headphone cable which introduces the delay.
Telly (2008 vintage Samsung) is beginning to have some issues. When the rows of failing pixels become permanent it'll be replaced. Currently they come back to life when it has warmed up, so can't be bothered spending the money just yet.

Re: Sound bars.
I found the delay setting but even reducing it to the minimum there was still enough to just be annoying. There is an infinitesimal delay with the SB bur only noticeable with TV speaker on as well which we never do anyway.
Re: Sound bars.
Before I buy one - any of these Delay type issues with the Beam ??
Re: Sound bars.
No, it has an HDMI-ARC connection if your TV has one. I'm just using the optical out because I don't have enough HDMI space and it's fine.
