The good: Sound bar home theater system; very thin design; wireless subwoofer; surprisingly solid sound quality on movies, given its size; three inputs (two optical, one minijack); simple setup; useful "smart volume" control.
The bad: No HDMI connectivity; sounds lackluster with music; faux-surround effects are mild.
The bottom line: The Samsung HW-C451 is an exceedingly thin sound bar home theater system that sounds surprisingly good with movies, but lacks HDMI connectivity.

not bad t'all
by _swi_ on April 2, 2011
Pros: smooth synchronization between components, sure sounds like surround-sound to these ears - coulda' fooled me!
Cons: of course a deep sub-woofer is always welcome, but this one is adequately up to the task. instructions for activating it could be simpler, clearer though.
Summary: key to this product is placement distance between soundbar + subwoofer shouldn't exceed 3 ft. subwoofer's good 'nuff, but space it too far across the room and it can'...

Summary: key to this product is placement distance between soundbar + subwoofer shouldn't exceed 3 ft. subwoofer's good 'nuff, but space it too far across the room and it can't do the heavy lifting. once you set it near the soundbar however, everything clicks like nuclear fission - presto!

Summary: I bought this item from HH Gregg at a very good price. I like the sleek style of it. I got rid of my 5.1 surround sound because it took up too much space. I was really impressed how clear this unit sounds. I had a few friends over and one of them actully bought the same unit a few day later. I don't mind the lack of HDMI because I rather listen through the fiber optic output. My xbox 360 sounds awesom and so does my Ipod. I highly reccomend the Samsung unit!
