It sound worse than a laptop or the 13 year old TV I replaced. I could plug in external speakers but I then you have no way to control audio with the remote.
It's like the TV has nasal congestion, so turning the volume past 7 just makes it increasingly more aggravating.
I'm trying to adjust the Treble/Bass to make it acceptable, but no luck yet. Can't believe they'd release such a crappy product.

Yeah that's good and all, but I listen to the TV more than I watch since I multi-task.. this'll give me headaches.

Unfortunately the smaller tvs get the crappier the speakers get. You can get good get sound in a small package but it'll cost ya. You should probably buy a sound bar system or return the tv.

I moved the TV closer (into the middle of the room :/) and there's a little improvement... I think I'll return it since a sound bar would be expensive.

I've read reviews and other people have the same complaint.
reviews
What people are saying
sound - "I mean, this is like cell phone speaker quality sound." Not too far off actually! It reminds me of watching youtube videos of recorded TV shows.

Blame the US goverment -- they have standards for electrical usage of tvs that is SO LOW that cruddy sound is the norm. If they gave even passable sound then they would have a much dimmer screen. In essence they figure EVERYONE will get a sound bar with the new tvs.

I haven't been terribly impressed with any LCD/Plasmas of this generation. My Philips has excellent HD picture quality, but the sound is awful. Music plays at a ridiculously high volume no matter the setting, while dialog of movies or TV shows is very soft and hard to hear. It also drives me nuts that my PS2 and other previous-gen systems look like crap on the TV as well.
I've been putting off buying a receiver and surround-sound until the house move, I'm guessing this'll fix the problem. It's still somewhat disheartening that they can't make a TV have proper sound quality built-in these days, though.

I have a 50" Panasonic Viera plasma. Excellent picture quality, but the speakers are SO WEAK. You have to turn it way up to hear anything.
Whats with high end TVs and crappy sound these days?
I also have a 42" LG LCD tv that cost half as much as the Panasonic, the picture quality is a lot worse but the speakers are so much better.

Every 2012 LCD large screen TV will have cruddy sound. You just can't split 102 watts between the picture and the speakers and have a decent result. If they could have 150 watts, sure you could but they arent allowed.

I bought an Olevia LCD back in 2008 and have no complaints whatsoever about the sound quality. I have since bought a Samsung plasma for our basement and again, no complaints.

Nope, I've seen plenty of other large screen LCDs with decent sound. Can you expect great sound? No. But many are decent.
So yeah I'm not going to blame the government because a private company made a sub-par product.

Have you tried connecting external speakers through the headphone jack? Usually the TV volume still has play there.

I haven't used the TV for sound in years. What do you expect from a speaker small enough to fit in a TV less than 4" thick?
