If you don't have enough room for a full surround sound home theater system, a sound bar will still give you improved audio quality without requiring a large amount of space. Vizio sound bars, though manufactured by Vizio, can be connected to any brand of television, including LG TVs. Connecting your Vizio sound bar to your LG TV is just like setting up any other audio device, requiring that you have access to a power outlet and the ports on the back of your television.
