I'm in the camp that a sound bar is a nice addition, but not the necessity to complement your wonderful picture like so many say.

I treated myself to an LG C8 OLED. Best Buy bundled an SK10Y sound bar with it for a reasonable price. I love the sound on the TV. It has pop, enough to satisfy my needs. The sound bar is nice, but preferable for big budget movies.

Ask yourself, how loud do you normally play things? If you don't crank it up for movie night, I'd lean toward no.

It all depends. It's not required, but it definitely increases the immersion. I have a Sonos beam in 2 bedrooms, but I wouldn't put them in my 2 main TVs. If you don't have a large room or don't want to spend the money on a surround system, then they are a great option.

In my opinion, audio provides a more immersive experience than video does.

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

Looking for a 1080p TV for basically just gaming with my PS4 slim.

At least 40 inch. Could anyone recommend one at a good price to value range.

I did see this TCL 4K for $239 on Amazon. Model is TCL 43S405. Would it be a better Idea to get this at this price than a 1080p that's a litter cheaper?

Thanks.

Low end TCL but a decent buy at that price. If you want to stay under $250 for a 43" I would get it.
