TVs used to have decent sound on their own, but the enshittification got to them.
Nah, the speakers that can physically fit in a TV of any type aren't that big, aren't put in enclosures tuned to the speaker, don't have multiple speakers with a crossover to handle different frequency ranges, and don't have quality amplifier components. They were always built cheap to what could fit in the box. I'm not talking audiphile shit here, but just the basics of a good sound system.
Well, I had a 48” flat screen in 2006 that didn’t need separate speakers. Every TV since sounds like absolute garbage.
My 42" Sony Bravia (an admittedly old, thick, and heavy flat-screen TV) has excellent sound for a television!
It’s a scam.
“Oh we couldn’t possibly put decent speakers in our TVs because they would be to thick. You’ll have to buy this additional sound bar, that we also make, that’s the same thickness as the TV.” 🙄🙄🙄
I'm still using my 40" flat screen from 2009, and I've never been dissatisfied with the sound from it, either. However, it's also 4 inches thick, compared to what, maybe 1 inch for the new TVs?
And it’s probably still really easy to move. I’d rather have decent speakers on a slightly thicker TV than being forced to buy a sound bar.
I didn’t get one out of principle; I got an older 5.1 receiver from a pal for free and some speakers second hand for $25.
Sure, my 2008 flat screen, I think it's a Samsung, sounds decent enough too but it's also 4" thick. The newer ones that are 2" or less simply don't have enough depth in the body for decent speakers.
I would prefer a thicker TV with better sound than having to buy a sound bar or theatre system to go with it. My 2014 Samsung with shit sound is about 4” thick. That’s not the reason.
After 32” you’re going to want to have a friend help you move it anyway, so who cares how thick it is? It’s all a scam to get you to buy more stuff.
