    Sound ok most of the time. Lose connection to tv a lot, which cause me to have to constantly turn it back on. No display sucks and remote display needs a backlight.

    This soundbar is amazing due to the multiple possible connections you can make. It is possible to control over wifi and bluetooth which makes it a very versatile soundbar. You can even control it with your voice using a google home! The sound is amazing as well with the bass making it feel like you're in a movie theater. Highly recommended for its versatility and its sound quality.

    Sounds great when working, but had to reset it a few times because it would stop working. So far the resets fix the problem when it happens and it doesn't happen enough to have me act upon it.

    Vizio makes some great and loud soundbars. This one goes great with your television. Surround sound is awesome. There are some channels like Disney Plus that seem to not have surround, but that's not the fault of the soundbar. When true surround comes on, this system does the job.
