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.
 
Not my TV, belongs to my house mate who bought the soundbar today. He liked the Samsung that was recommended above. Spent ages this afternoon setting it all up. Happy as a dog with two tails he is.

Thanks all for the advice much appreciated :)
