Our Verdict

LG SK1

Vizio SB2020n-G6

The LG SK1 is a slightly better soundbar than the Vizio SB2020n-G6 for some uses. The Vizio only supports PCM-format content, so it doesn't support Dolby Digital or surround content. As a result, the LG is a better choice for movie fans. The LG is better-built and it can be wall-mounted, unlike the Vizio. However, while both bars are lacking a bit of bass, the Vizio has a slightly more extended bass that may be preferred by some users.
