Experience the rich audio of 4K movies with this 2.1-channel JBL Cinema sound bar. It lets you connect multiple devices with its three HDMI inputs for A/V components and gaming consoles, and it also has Bluetooth connectivity for streaming music.

Excellent clear sound, rich bass

The only thing I would like to see is the indications on sound bar like Sony
soundbars have. If you push a button on the remote you don't know if it was received by soundbar.
And Harman sound works perfect but sometimes the power turns off, I'll need to do more investigation to see if that is a bug in firmware or it is related to inside electronics, so I appreciate if somebody else shares with his experience, if somebody else faces with this problem.
I give 5 stars because of sound quality. For design as well I give 5 stars. For user interface and functional convenience I give 1 star.
I would like my feedback to be taken into consideration by JBL engineers for the future development.

This is an amazing TV with excellent picture quality and great features in it.
The only thing I would like to see in this TV is the capability to show up the network connected hard drives. Sony TVs and DVDs can do that, I wish Samsung consider this option and make it available in the next software release so we could update the software and enjoy that feature.
Thank you Samsung for making such a great product.

Missing apps and 720 resolution with COMCAST X1
on March 14, 2015
Posted by: Arthur21

This TV is suck.
After one week I noticed the most of apps were missing. I called Sony and with they help the only way to fix the problem was factory reset.
The other BIG CONCERN is this TV doesn't work properly with COMCAST X1 xfinity box. Ehrn you set from the box the resolution 1080i/p and save that setting on the box, then it turns to 720i/p if you power off/on TV. This is not happening when I unplag the HDMI cable from Sony and plug it to LG TV. That means its has nothing to do with the COMCAST X1 box, it has to do with Sony TV which can't recognize the resolution of the box after of power OFF/ON ( which means rebooting the software, like your Windows in PC ).

Update
March 15, 2015
The comcast box is now connected to TV's HDMI3 port and settings on the box is set to 1080i/60p. I don't know what happened but everything works for now. I am not sure if this was fixed at the end of Comcast or just TV started to "understand" the box settings.
Overall the TV is a nice TV but I think Sony needs to spend more testing time on it's products. Today I noticed only power ON/OFF button was working from remote and unplugging then plugging from the the power outlet fixed this.
I like Sony and it's a great company and I hope they will be the leader in a near future on TV production, particularly for the next generation of UHDTV ( SUHDTV => Super HD TV )

Important notes to my post
January 17, 2017
I have purchased this speaker system for listening music in the living room, so it is not connected to TV. I have a high-resolution MP3 player/headphone amplifier TEAC HA-P90SD. The phone output is connected from TEAC to AUX input of the soundbar so it is possible sometimes the input level is too high which may cause the power to shut down.
For TV I use the Sony HTCT390 speaker system which is great for TV.

4K cables??
Unless I missed something when HDMI cables came out they are capable of handling 3840. So why a push on $70 4K cables when my original ones work perfect.
This is interesting question and it lead me to think about the problem I was experiencing: - with Comcast X1 box it doesn't support 1080i/p resolution after TV is powered ON/OFF. I have to try with those cable, maybe with those cables the problem will be fixed.
I have already posted a negative review about this TV.

Dimension of the box? I want to know if it fits in my car for transport.
This TV in a factory sealed box is huge and will not fit in any of SUV or car.
