When looking to add a sound bar to get better sound out of your smart TV, it’s easy to get lost in all the choices and get something very inexpensive since they all pretty much look the same, but don’t. A lot of the lower end sound bars do not include an HDMI (ARC) input to connect to your TV. HDMI is the best way to connect to your TV – it’s the most reliable (you won’t have to “pair” the two from time to time), the sound signal will be transferred over a wire for full bandwith and quality, the two devices will be able to communicate with each other and, among other things, will allow you to use the single TV remote to control the sound bar volume, eliminating the need for multiple remote controls. These days HDMI (ARC) equipped sound bars start in the low $200 price range and are well worth it. Call for help figuring out which sound bar is right for you.
