I am pretty pleased with it thus far. Take note that you will have to supply your own screws and wall anchors to place the hanging bracket on the wall, because Samsung doesn’t provide them. I have this in my bedroom placed right below my Samsung LN46B550. I used to have an LN40A550, and that had a headphone jack that I connected a set of JBL Spyro speakers and sub-woofer to add some volumn to the volume. This allowed me to control the volume with just the TV remote. But starting with the 2009 models, Samsung decided to do away with the headphone jack, and connecting the JBL via A/V cable wouldn’t let me control the volume remotely. I would have to get up to manually adjust the sound. This was particularly a pain, because I watch a lot of streamed content from my little Dell Zino home theater PC (don’t have cable, and haven’t missed any of my shows or sports), and each stream would have its own volume setting. So, on one site I’d have to really pump up the volume, and get blasted out of my socks when I’d visit another. Those problems have been solved with using the HW-C340, because I can use my TV’s remote to control the mute and volume (on the TV’s menu set the sound to external speakers). When you use your TV remote to turn on the mute or make volume change there will be a message that displays on the screen that says, “Not Available”. However, the sound bar does perform according to what you’ve pushed on the remote. That extra feature alone is worth a few extra stars. I put the small remote away in my night stand.

Synching the sub-woofer with the sound bar was easy, and worked immediately. I have them on opposite walls with the sub tucked away in a corner (Yeah, wireless!). I do agree with what another buyer said in that it is difficult to see the unit’s display without getting up close to read it, and it would be good if the panel lights only illuminated when a setting was being changed. In stand-by mode the bar has a little red light just like my TV, so they look like siblings. Since my room isn’t that large I don’t need a true surround system, but the TV speakers are a little too tinny for my liking. The output from the HW-C450 is about on par with my JBL kit; which is sufficient for me. We have a 7.1 surround sound system in the living and the difference is quite apparent, but like I said it’s not need in my smallish room. This set up provides enough sound to fill the room whenever I want to turn it up. I haven’t played with all of the settings or played it with a movie, but I am pretty happy with its performance with the TV and the HTPC.

The bar is pretty stylish, and should look well with any of the LCDs/plasmas that are on the market. My TV has the touch of red color, but the sound bar looks great with it. The sub is alright looking, but I don’t care so much about it since it’s not in plain view.

I would highly recommend this sound bar, because of ease of set up, the accompanying remote has a solid feel, the sound will boost your TV’s sound, and it looks nice.
