    The item is fine. I bought an open box item and didn’t notice it is dented in the front until it was installed. It would be a good practice to indicate if there is an damage on open box items offered for sale.

    This sound bar is extremely disappointing. The volume control is terrible—it’s either way too loud or far too quiet, with no comfortable middle range. Even worse, when using the HDMI ARC setup, the audio sounds muffled and flat. Definitely not worth the money.

    My new television had echo and gravelly sound. Part of the problem was the large television came down close to the fireplace mantel. The sound echoed off it. The sound bar took care of the effect. The Geek Squad thought that through and solved the problem.

    Be sure you have the TV serial and model number before you purchase a soundbar. I mistakenly thought they would be universal mounts on a Samsung. It sounded great and when my IT guy was trying to mount it, he realized that it doesn't fit my TV. Fortunately BB let me return it after the 10 Days.
