People make lots of mistakes when it comes to setting up the TV in their living room Sometimes it’s mounted far too high up the wall. Sometimes the couch is positioned far too away. However, the number one mistake in my anecdotal experience is relying on the TV’s own sound. Even though newer TVs keep improving with better detail, color, and contrast, the built-in speakers still don’t hold a candle to the audio you can get from a dedicated a sound system. They’re not too expensive either. Right now, Best Buy has this Samsung 3.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer on sale for half off. Normally $400, you can now get it for just $200 for a limited time.
The HW-B650 soundbar from Samsung will be a night and day difference from what your TV is currently capable of producing on its own. With it, you can achieve realistic 3D sound that gets projected from all sides, up and down. The system has support for Dolby Atmos as well as DTS Virtual: X which adds an incredible depth to the audio you get when watching movies and shows.

Enhanced Dialogue
A common complaint when watching modern TV shows and movies at home is it seems like the dialogue is impossible to hear. Yet if you turn up the volume too much so you know what the actors are saying, suddenly any other sound effect becomes glass-shatteringly loud. It’s a no win scenario. You’re stuck just turning on closed captioning if you want to understand what’s being said.
