No matter how gorgeous the picture or large the display, a personal home theater experience isn’t complete without quality audio and powerful bass. If you want to feel like you’re a part of the action, you need a soundbar that delivers. A solid option is the Vizio SmartCast 3.1 Channel Soundbar System. This model normally rings in for $198, but Walmart’s big summer sale has made it available for only $158.

In case you don’t want to shell out $158 in one go, you may opt to split that amount over a 12-month period which boils down to just $16 a month. Walmart’s sale ends this Sunday July 21, where you’ll find great home theatre deals on soundbars, TVs, and more.

This Vizio SmartCast soundbar is built with custom drivers and technologies from leaders in the audio industry — the Dolby technology that ensures dynamic sound quality for TV shows, movies and music, and the DTS technology that produces richer sound and dialogue with deeper bass.

Designed with a three-channel configuration, this soundbar promises up to 101 decibels of room-filling, crystal-clear sound with less than 1% total harmonic distortion. It also has a wireless subwoofer that delivers roof-shaking bass as deep as 50 Hz. From the rumble of a concert to a thrilling car chase, you’ll experience every detail in amazing clarity and feel as if you’re in the scene.

Playing your favorite tunes from your phone directly to the soundbar is possible with the built-in Chromecast (just tap the Cast button from the audio app). You can also stream high-quality audio over your home’s Wi-Fi network without interruptions if you get a text or phone call. And with the Vizio SmartCast app, you can turn your mobile device into the ultimate remote to easily set up and control the soundbar. Don’t worry about your phone running low on juice; this soundbar is battery-friendly so you can cast for as long as you want.

The Vizio SmartCast 3.1 Channel Soundbar System offers an excellent way to achieve an incredible audio experience for your movies, TV shows, games, and music. Don’t miss out on Walmart’s summer deal and get it today for only $158 instead of its usual $198 price tag.

Walmart’s Prime rival sale drops this Vizio 40-inch TV under $200
vizio launch d series 4k ultra hd tv 750 0013

As the title suggests, there's a Walmart Rollback Sale on various products -- including TVs like this 40-inch Vizio -- as a direct response to Amazon's second Prime Day, aka the Prime Early Access Sale, which has the same sort of exclusive deals and discounts for Prime Members as Prime Day did. But, ultimately, that means you get to pick up a relatively cheap TV, even without a Prime subscription, since Walmart is selling it at $198 from $227.

Why you should buy the VIZIO 40-inch Class D-Series
The VIZIO D-Series is an interesting lineup of TVs, since it doesn't come in 4k but has all the other great features you would typically expect from a high-end TV. For example, you get full-array LED backlighting that gives smaller brightness control zones and significantly better contrast than your average TV. Similarly, it comes with an internal processor, the IQ Picture Processor, which helps make the overall interface and experience quicker so you aren't constantly waiting for an app to load or deal with menu lag -- all of which are excellent quality-of-life additions for a sub-$200 TV.

Listen up! Here’s how VIZIO is going to amplify your audio game

When you're fighting the swarms of Alfheim elves in God of War, the stalking alien in Alien: Isolation, or you just want to hear the deep sounds of the engine in your favorite racing game, you need amazing video and audio to get a truly immersive experience. While most people focus on the visuals -- and indeed, a beautiful, high-quality picture is paramount to modern entertainment -- the audio is just as important, especially when you're playing games with 3D audio where the sounds can come from virtually any direction.

Of course, true surround doesn't happen if your sound system is not up to par, and it can ruin your play because the directional audio gives you clues about where your enemies or opponents are. If everything just sounds like it's in front of you, well, then you have some upgrading to do. Cue VIZIO's latest products, including TVs and soundbars designed to give you precisely the kind of immersive experience we've been talking about.
