I was wondering if anyone else is thrilled with the speaker bar that comes with this TV? I just hooked up a VX-10 subwoofer to it and the sound of the speaker bar along with this subwoofer is amazing. I like the sound so much that I dont even plan to go 5.1..This is a cost saving with the 5080 tv that is not obvious to anyone purchasing this tv. Of course the picture quality is better than anything i've seen so far. I could not be happier with this tv. If you have the 5080 hook up a sub and you will be delighted!! rgar18

Unless using as a bedroom or living room TV, I think that most people will use surround sound still if the PDP is being used in any sort of home theater set up with Blu-Ray or HD-DVD.
