Anyone have any experience with this Vizio sound bar?

Long story short: after years of not having a flat screen, finally got a smart TV. Want to get a sound bar, and have $100 of gift cards at Best Buy. This exact sound bar is $118 at Sam's Club, and my Best Buy will match the price.

Has anyone had or had friends who had this sound bar, and if so, is it a good deal, or should I just save up and get something better?

I have that one, I like it a lot. Sounds very good, was recommended in a sound bar thread on here.

Have it connected via optical to my TV, and use the bluetooth with my phone probably daily.

That's my other question: don't have cable or sat. Have a 360, blu-ray, and chromecast. If I hook it up via optical, will it handle all of my sound needs, or will I need to hook it up individually to the other systems?


ETA: all of the sound from those 3 things runs through the hdmi cables and is output through the tvs shitty speakers

It comes with an optical cable, just plug it into your TV.

Okay awesome. It seemed like a great deal considering I'm only gonna be paying $20 out of pocket

For sure, I got it this summer off Amazon for I think $119 and I'd do it again right now, definitely recommend it.

Made me ask myself why I waited this long with shitbag TV speakers, massive improvement I won't go without again.

I got this one in July for ~$140 total from Amazon.com. It is great. I had been just using the crappy speakers that are on the back of my TV. It was amazing to be able to hear movies with some bass behind them.

This one was the lowest cost and highest rated on Consumer Reports. The only thing I don't like is the remote. It is real easy to hit the Bluetooth or input buttons if you aren't paying attention.
