from that article
"The included wireless sub doesn't skimp on quality. It's a well-built black and silver shoebox that comes with a ported 5-inch woofer. This unit helps the entire system get down to a claimed 50Hz, which is plenty for a system of this size and price."

50hz? i think any decent 6.5" speaker can do that

I have another basic question.
my TV output is stero. So when i connect a 5.1 speakers, these stereo 2.0 output gets converted to 5.1 ?
My understanding is that if we have 5.1 output from AV receiver ,only then 5.1 speakers will get audio of 5.1.
Please clarify my doubt

depends on how you connect
if you go from cable/bluray > avr > tv you will get 5.1, if the program has it

if you go cable/bluray > tv > avr, then it will depend on what the tv outputs, often its 5.1

Currently i dont have cable/blueray. As I mentioned in title, its smart TV. I will be playing contents through online. For example, if i play content at youtube, my smart tv will give output as stereo. Then how will i get 5.1 with 5.1 speakers?

 

[mdram]

the tv should output 5.1 to the avr via optical, digital audio or arc.

i have 2 samsungs, i know the 4k one will, haven't tried the 1080 one

check the tv manual

Another basic question : why people are buying blueray player along with home theatre systems. What is the purpose. Just to put blue ray DVD and play movies ?

Yes. People buy bluray players to play bluray.
Seriously, what else would they do with it?

what other purpose would there be? and how would you play them without a player?

Ok.. understood.
Blue ray disks are costly. So don't want to buy those disks. I don't have 4k definition tv to enjoy that blue ray quality. So a normal DVD player should work right to play only DVDs. ?

You're right, but you should see the Vizio with the ultra thin Sub. People are so out of touch with how speakers work that Vizio even suggests you can put it under your couch or bed. Could you imagine a speaker sounding good under a couch?

A 4K TV will show you SD, HD & 4K. Do you subscribe to cable or satellite TV? If so, that's probably in HD. DVD is SD, and anyone who's seen HD can spot the difference. I'm not surprised that DVD is still sold, people still come into the store asking for VCRs! You should buy a Blu-ray player, that way when DVD players are discontinued you can still play Blu-rays and DVD

Generally speaking BluRays are 1080P. The 4k ones are UHD BluRay

So finally reached a conclusion. Only option I have right now is a sound bar.
The reason is that , I live in a rented apartment and big sound is a problem for nearby apartments. My neighbor told that he faced similar issue that his neighbour complained about his sound. ((
So I will buy a cheaper one now and in future , will buy a 5.1 when I move to independent house.

So I have 2 options to select and Black Friday sale is going on

1. Vizio Sb3621 is $99
2. Samsung-HW-MM45Cis $149
The link.
https://m.costco.com/Samsung-HW-MM4...ith-Wireless-Subwoofer.product.100380581.html

I listened to both and both sounds similar.
I have a samung tv. So is there any advantage if I opt for Samsung .this samung model is only available in Costco. No other sellers are selling it no reviews about it. Vizio got high reviews which I posted here before.
Could you guys please suggest me which is best option in these 2
