I bought a Samsung smart TV which sounded OK on it's own in the shop, but when home it was 'a bit lacking' so I got the Philips soundbar with separate sub, about £85 IIRC. It certainly improves the overall sound but it's such a hassle to turn on, the tiny remote seems next to useless, then every time you have to fiddle about to get the output from both, (TV & bar), balanced. It varies from channel to channel, practically impossible with the HD channels, we end up reverting to standard to avoid the sound problems.
Having said that - never sure if it's the TV, the broadcast, or the bar that's mostly to blame it could even be me
Edit: Yes from Richer sounds
