Not something these days I'm very clued up on. However my house mate has asked to help him improve the sound quality on the TV. If it had a headphone socket I'd be saying hook up the PC speakers to that, but alas it has no such socket.
My first thought was indeed a soundbar as that's pretty much simple enough, straight forward to install and get going.
He does connect his computer to the TV a lot to watch movies etc on. The TV is a 55 inch LG Plasma which has a plethora of connections such as phono out, HDMI and it even has optical. Does a TV with optical out automatically feed its sound signal to a connected device and if so I'm assuming whatever sound is being fed from the TV (PC, Games Console of PVR Box) will come through the soundbar ?
If thats the case what soundbar would you recommend ?
Pardon the ignorance but I'm used to connecting all my stuff via phono connections to my AV receiver.
Thanks for your help gents.
