Expert review by : Christopher Null (pcworld.com)
This sound bar delivers everything you big-screen TV needs, except for high-res audio support.
Includes satellite speakers, which wire directly to subwoofer ; Boomtastic bass response ; Lots of connectivity options
Enormous soundbar will only fit with a very large TV ; Remote difficult to navigate, especially in the dark ; Fuzzy dialog and scratchy surround sound
The Vizio S5451w-C2 is an easy way to add turnkey 5.1-channel audio to your home theater for less than $500, but it's not the perfect solution it could be.
