I'm new to soundbars and home theater. I have a 29 inch tv. Is it better to get a 29 inch soundbar or 32 inch?

Guess this can depend on individual tastes. My soundbar is a bit longer than the front of my tv and it makes no difference to me. I got a great buy on it and am plenty happy with it. If you found a great deal on a slightly larger soundbar, I`d be tempted to buy it over a perfect fit that costs more and is less featured.

Depending on the sound of the audio system, a 29 inch would have an esthetic "edge" on a 32 inch. I doubt you could or would notice a significant difference between the 3 inch length variance. So, all things considered, I would choose a 29 inch. sound bar.

The size length of the soundbar may make difference in sound quality, but not by much. It's only transmitting the audio via the soundbar. I've never looked at any others than my Philips bar, but maybe the longer bars have a bit better speaker quality. I'd go for the cheaper one if all else is basically the same. I doubt you'd know the difference in sound. Good luck

Either one will do the job.....I got the 32 just because my tv is a 32 ..... I really like this PHillips sound bar... Ya there are fan her ones but I just wanted the theater. Sound and it works well

You probably would want to get a 29 inch soundbar. For appearance and continuity purposes, I thinkg having the tv and soundbar being the same lunch looks better than having a longer-than-tv soundbar.

I have the 47" and I love it. The stock speakers are very loud, and the visual quality is great. Being an LED, it looks really good even in a bright room, although if it's behind a window you'll still have to worry about glare. I was annoyed with how it makes shows and movies look with the Motion Blur, but you can easily turn that off; it does help make games look better though so I turn it back on for gaming.

a 47" sound bar would be wider than most 47" TVs. The LG 47LA7400 is only 42" wide so this sound bar wouldn't look right with it. It would suit the 55LA7400 almost perfectly since the TV is 48" wide. Measure and get one that will fit the width of your TV the best.

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.

M. Robel... Thanks for the reply. Seeing the tv in the store makes me agree with you. There are just so many posts out there on the internet that say it might be too big, and then you have the ones that give you such a huge range of size to distance ratio and it makes it difficult to decide when you are spending that much money. I appreciate your reply, and am definitely going to to with the 46".

Measure. Measure. Measure. I bought 3 so the cable box could go underneath my TVs. They didn't fit. So I'm stuck with them. Bet your soundbar won't fit either.

Not sure. Didn't care. Never seen a TV below 32" that had speakers worth a crap and anything above that size they are only half worth a crap. I'll say that you can certainly hear it and it has 3 sound modes. Custom movie and standard. I use custom. It has a headphone out jack and when I am really watching something I plug in some cheap computer speakers and it sounds fantastic and the volume controls with the remote. Can't ask for much more. But I don't think you will really hear it well in a noisy environment. Just opt for external speakers or sound bar plugged into the headphone stereo out jack. Not sure. Didn't care.

i was told that getting any sound bar that is universal is always the best bet. of course the stronger the better. i would go with a sony sound bar but that's me, its a matter of preference. good luck

I have a 51" television and this sound bar is absolutely perfect for it. Has a built in base so it can sit, and also has the ability to be wall mounted. Just the right size to go with a 50" screen. Greatest sound bar I've ever heard. Hope that helps!

Yes. Thats actually one of the reasons why I got it for my room :) My tv is 32" .

I would say anything 37 and above. Otherwise it would look weird with a smaller system. The device (soundbar) is pretty light and can go anywhere around the TV, but i say within the 37-50 range is best.

The sound quality for this TV is OK. Very normal compared to its size, its Basic quality, depends of what you are watching or listening. If you want a higher quality sound,I recommend you get the sound bar or a surround system.

As long as you don't crank it up past like 25 the sound quality is pretty good! I own this tv and I love it! For the money you won't find a better 32 inch! If you push it too loud the bass will distort, but trust me with the cinema sound turned on in the setup menu, you won't have any reason to turn it up past like 20.

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.

I would highly reccomend a subwoofer. It adds that extra quality of sound. While my soundbar has subwoofer in it , it doesnt compare to a subwoofer added. Go for it!

Stephanie B., it is okay to use the Sound Bar with a 52-in TV. I currently have it hooked up with my LG HDTV. Clarity and its dynamic surround-sound like acoustics make it a perfect speaker system for the tv. I especially enjoy the blue tooth connectivity option, allowing me to connect with other blue tooth enabled appliances.

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
