The decision to purchase 2 pieces LG Soundbar NB4540 was really super compact size, only 3.5 cm high and 83 cm wide and now with just under 200 Euros a relatively moderate price. I need the sound bars for LED TV from Philips and LG in the sizes 28 and 32 inches. At these relatively small TeeVau formats, most sound bars ... too big. ... The speaker unit is very noble and high quality processed metal, as the subwoofer with the plastic case can not quite keep up with a brushed aluminum look. What I miss is painful in addition to the slightly spartan tone control a phase inversion for the bass. So you have something to experiment with the location of where the bass box. For me, the bass sounds best at a height of about 30 cm, and the bass is with the grating toward spectators, the bass reflex port is then the right side. I also have a little more acoustic batting slightly reduces the radiating effect of the bass reflex. The result is a somewhat satterer bass sound. The Tonal overall impression is something to experiment quite satisfactorily. If one has a TV with HDMI backchannel and the Soundbar then connects to the TV via HDMI and simultaneously via optical input, the soundbar will automatically turn on the TV and out, also you need then the volume control only the original remote control of the TV. This works for all brands, the TV does not have to explicitly from LG to be. If you miss a German manual, the load for free in PDF format at LG! And please only use high-quality High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet!
