Improve your audio experience with this Samsung three-channel soundbar. This unit, which has a built-in subwoofer, channels high-resolution full-spectrum sound and eliminates the need for an extra bass speaker. Use 4K pass-through to connect your Blu-ray player or other UHD device to the Samsung three-channel soundbar for stunning multi-channel audio and a clear picture.

I have owned a Sony soundbar for the past six years. It was OK but my new Samsung soundbar is FANTASTIC! The set-up was easy and it comes with nine speakers that produce INCREDIBLE sound. I purchased this soundbar as an Open Box (Excellent Condition) Item from Best Buy on May 04, 2017. I paid ONLY $301.99 plus tax. Believe me, it was a steal. Just in case I needed it, I also purchased the extra 4-year Geek Squad Protection Plan.
I would highly recommend the Open Box (Excellent Condition) Item as mine was just like new, plus I saved over $140 on my purchase. Since my soundbar has built-in WI-FI, I love playing my Pandora music from my Asus tablet through my soundbar because the sound is EXCELLENT! Also, anytime in the future I can add additional wireless surround speakers or a subwoofer to my soundbar to enhance the sound (even though I don't think I need them). My soundbar also has the HDMI-In and HDMI-Out (ARC) along with Digital Optical Audio, AUX Audio, and USB. It also comes with built-in Bluetooth and is TiVo friendly as I can control the volume and turn my soundbar on and off with my TiVo controller.
In conclusion, I usually don't write reviews, but this Samsung soundbar has exceeded all my expectations. IF YOU DECIDE TO BUY THIS SOUNDBAR, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! THANK YOU.

IS THERE AN OPTION TO ADD A DEDICATED SUB WOOFER. I HEARD IT A BEST BUY NEAR ME. IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THERE IS A LOT OF BASE FOR A PRODUCT THAT HAS A BUILT IN SUB.
Yes! You can add a subwoofer. Thank you.

Can this computer be upgraded to Windows 10 OS?
A previous answer from ASUS referred to drivers only for 7, 8, and 8.1. Can it run the new Windows 10 operating system?
YES! This PC can run the new Windows 10 Operating System. Just download the free Windows 10 OS from Microsoft's website. Thank you.

Does this motherboard require a matching pair of RAM? It has two slots for RAM, and it came with 1x8GB, so do I need to add another 8GB or is 4GB ok?
I realize the original 8GB is sufficient, but I have an extra 4GB stick of the same type of RAM and was going to add it, but I wanted to make sure this motherboard doesn't require a matching pair. I searched the owners manual and online and couldn't find a clear answer. Thanks!
Hello. I would say that adding another 4 GB memory to the second open slot should be OK, as I have seen similar models of this Asus PC come with 12 GBs of memory. Thank you.

How is it for home made video features?
Never used Asus products before. I'll basically use it for internet research, writing documents, checking e-mails, and editing my home made videos. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have not edited any videos with this PC but I would say that if you have the proper video editing software loaded, this PC should handle the editing OK. I would suggest adding another (8) GBs of memory, as this machine can hold up to (16) GBs of memory. The extra memory should make your video editing work easier and faster. Thank you.

ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A GRAPHICS CARD?
i don't anything to radical. Just something around the $100-$200 range
I would check out the lower end nvidea graphic cards. Just make sure that the video card will work with a 300 watt power supply that is in this PC. Thank you.

The power supply unit is only 300 watts. Make sure that your new video card will run with a 300 watt PSU. Thank you.
