Ya, your Samsung remote will work with the Samsung soundbar. You may want to consider a warranty on the sound bar. I have seen a few of them break. Our display model broke twice. The subwoofer stopped working.....

if you want something just to enhance the movie experience and don't want to bother w/ wires...then these will do
just don't expect more out of it
I wouldn't say not to expect anything more out of it.
Build in TV speakers are notoriously bad, especially in Samsungs. So any external speakers, surround or not, will make a HUGE difference. Everything will sound totally different, in a good way.

I did. All I'm saying is that it'll do a whole lot more then just enhance the movie experience. It'll enhance the sports experience, the news experience, the Olympics experience, The Office experience, and the porn experience. And those are just a few of the experiences it'll enhance.

I read quite a bit about these on avsforums and it seemed like the sony htct100 soundbar was the best bang for your buck.

Amazon.com: Sony HTCT100 Sound Bar with Subwoofer - Black: Electronics Amazon.com: Sony HTCT100 Sound Bar with Subwoofer - Black: Electronics

keep your eye on slickdeals refurbs come on sale often for around $150 iirc

Thats the Sony that I talked about. It sucks. I've sold 3 of them in the last month, and everyone has come back because people say they can't hear the subwoofer at all.
