Argos dishes out half-price soundbars with 4K Samsung TVs

Modern televisions aren't known for their great sound quality, so to get the most out of those blockbuster movies and must-watch boxsets, adding a soundbar can make a world of difference. A soundbar is a great update to a flatscreen television, not only increasing the volume, but really boosting the detail that comes through to make sound clearer and more engaging.

Argos is offering a 43-inch , but when bundled with a Samsung soundbar, there's a £50 saving on the soundbar as well. That means you can snap up the 4K telly with Samsung soundbar .

The Samsung DU7100 is a 2024 TV, so it's nice a recent and offers a 4K resolution to really squeeze the detail out of streaming services like Netflix or . It also supports HDR technology, which will boost the picture performance too.

Shoppers praised the "clear and crisp picture" and the ease of setup on the TV, but one also mentioned that they were able to "adjust the picture settings, which resulted in better quality."

It's not only Argos selling the DU7100 for £209, it's also for the same price.

The soundbar that's being offered alongside this TV from Argos is the Samsung HW-C430, it normally costs £199.99, but when bought with the Samsung TV, . It's a 2.1 channel soundbar, meaning it has distinct left and right speakers, as well as a subwoofer to boost the bass.

The subwoofer really brings substance to whatever you're watching, while the additional clarity from the speakers will provide better sound than a normal flatscreen TV can produce. It has 270W of power, compared to 20W of power on the Samsung TV, so it's a significant boost.

The downside of this soundbar is that there's no centre channel, which can really enhance the speech and make it sound like it's coming directly from the screen.

Connecting a soundbar to your TV is simple, especially as both of these are Samsung products: once connected via an HDMI cable (not supplied), the TV will automatically detect the soundbar and be able to control it using one remote, so there's no messing around with more than one controller.

As this is a it's loaded with apps for streaming content, so you will need to pay subscription for most of them, and some of these services will be able to make better use of the soundbar thanks to the more advanced sound formats that they offer.

This is an LED TV, supporting advanced options like Filmmaker Mode, so if you start watching a movie, the picture settings can adapt to be what the original director intended the film to look like. If this Samsung TV sounds too expensive, then take a look at the Philips 32-inch HDR TV on Amazon for £129, which is a saving of over £90.

The Philips TV offers access to apps for streaming. It doesn't support 4K resolutions, but at 32 inches, that's not so much of a problem because the screen is smaller.
