How immersive is the sound performance?
In terms of sound quality, one of the major improvements in today's best TVs is the use of special location-based or object-based sound technology which let individual sounds be heard relative to their on-screen location. For example, if a boat speeds across the screen, you can now hear the boat's sound follow it exactly as if you were there in-person. It's an immersive sound that adds a brand new level of realism to the viewing experience.
Make sure your next TV is equipped with this innovative sound technology.

When a sound bar is connected, does the TV sound stay on or turn off?
What happens when you connect a soundbar to a TV? Most of the time, the sound from the TV speakers are turned off and the sound is played completely from the soundbar.
However the ideal soundbar should deliver simultaneous sound playback from both TV speakers and the soundbar, so make sure to listen for this important detail.
