    I'm quite impressed with this soundbar. It really is good for the price. I wouldn't look to build a 5.1 surround setup with it, but as a standalone soundbar or for an area that you need a small soundbar it is perfect.

    Seems like that arc function could solve the problem. Im just recently looking into this device as one is available on the marketplace. I just want it for the sound improvements since I may be able to get it cheap. I really want to know how much power it uses too.

    Check out the TCL Alto 8i! It has Dolby atmos sound and sounds AMAZING! It’s got 2 subwoofers built in and they don’t sound like crappy small subs you’re used to hearing. These things pound pretty dang hard. Harder than our LG soundbar + subwoofer does!

  • @chrishalle1982
    @chrishalle1982 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You can combine the streambar with the roku subwoofer and the roku speakers. So you can build a 4.1 system.

    • @quattro4468
      @quattro4468 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes but by that time youre spending $400. You can get a competant 3.1 system for that or even a 7.2 av reciever with bluetooth and $100 bookshelf bluetooth speakers with large drivers

    • @TrailerTrashThorne
      @TrailerTrashThorne 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can, but like Quattro said, you're paying what you'd pay for a pretty ok system at that point. Plus, subwoofers are generally what makes all systems not neighbor friendly. However, if you just want all the Roku branded bells and whistles then yeah, they're there.

    • @peanutheadrules
      @peanutheadrules ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah sadly it’s not worth the price point they’re advertising it for. Especially considering it doesn’t support Dolby Atmos. WTH!!! We all get fancy TV’s with fancy options because we want to USE THEM! 😆🤦‍♂️

    Sorry, I dont understand the English very well, but I have a question. if I have a LG nanocell SMART TV, year 2020, do you think it is a good idea buy the Roku streambar? The sound is really better than a recently Smart tv? Or, os better buy pnly the Roku streaming stick plus, for example. Thank you

    • @JSyntax
      @JSyntax  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You definitely should consider upgrading your speakers as in built speakers are awful. You can probably get a regular speaker use the smart functionality that is built in your tv.

      Well our Samsung Smart TV is from 2016 and still looks great so this Roku Streambar definitely adds better audio.
