TV Speaker help..is this speaker bar good?

mjs12345

On my tv (42" LG LCD) The speaker is on its way out and the warentee has run out, i would like to buy maybe a speaker bar for it? if i installed the speaker bar to the tv would i be able to turn the tv speakers off and just use the bar? and would i be able to use all my appliance ok eg sky+hd, xbox, wii. i saw one on ebuyer for £50 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/136450

anyone have any other recommendations if this wouldnt be very good? thanks

I bet it would work, and would make a fine like-for-like replacement for the TV's built in speakers.

But to answer your question "is it good": Probably not! The ones I was looking at have been around 10x that price, and I thought I was looking for a cheaper option!

"Good" is a very relative term!

I'm planning on buying a new tv in about 6 months anyway when I move house, I just want something to keep my tv sound relatively better than it is now, the speaker at the moment keeps rattling at certain fequencies, which is why I need a quick and cheap replacement as it's very annoying!

I've been eyeing up something like that for the TV OH has in their lounge, reading the views I get the impression it'll be 'nice and loud' but not exactly high quality (but certainly no worse than TV speakers - I'm largly tone deaf anyway ).

would be interested in hearing how you get on....

it depends how they connect
if they use a 3.5mm jack then yes but i would think they have PC connections TBH so you could use the audio connections
i used a JBL 2.1 set up via the headphone jack on my LG,however on big sounds sections it would cut out as the jack isnt designed to drive large speakers

have just reserved this, will pick it up in the morning and hopefully this will do the job I need, it says it can connect to the tv
