I would like some feedback on your opinions of which is the best sounding TV you have heard so far or owned.
I myself have heard plenty during my search for a TV and in my opinion Toshiba ZV is the best sounding TV I have heard so far. Relatively loud, dynamic with airy highs and powerful lows / bass to boot. None of those tinny, brittle sounding, boxy sound that you normally hear.

My Samsung LA42C530 speaker is so loud, crystal clear and boomy that my wife turn in down.

All TV speaker sucks. But then again, i am used to dedicated HT for my movies....

really? it's really hard to believe.....AFAIK, Samsung's TVs have relatively weaker sound as compared to other brands' TV

Really one. Its just a rumours that Samsung is the weaker one. Totally satisfied with speaker in the model.

Maybe low end model or old model is not good. But LA40C530 sound is awesome.

I am satisfied with my Panasonic P50U

tats why i not sure why people said TV speaker no good. I think they compare with Home theater...

May be they have too high an expectation. May be they expect TV speaker to be able to bring the house down?

hmm, last time when I bought my HDTV the best sound I heard so far is the ZV model, i tried samsung the sound is too bright for me, sony also not bad & of coz this is 1yr plus back

Actually the best means the loudest. Since you said Samsung is very bright (in another word loud although
some might not agree), so the conclusion is Samsung hdtv speaker is the best.

"Best" means different thing to different people.

To me, "Best" means having proportionate frequency from High to Mid to Low. Especially the midrange giving voice clarity and with body.

I can't stand those boom box with booming bass nor artificially high treble favored by immature Ah Beng.

huh! I never taught best is the loudest.. your thinking is like my brother anyway
like optiplex mentioned too me it should have the right mixture. anyway for zv the bass is is better

we all know people hate TV speaker because it sound so tiny.

So means, the only way TV speaker can be good if its loud. So there u go. Loud is the only criteria for
TV speaker

my old TV I hate using that speaker when watching BLu-Ray, action scene will be bloody loud and talking scene so SOFT!

Now I am using LG 42LX6500 got Clear Voice II, Auto Volume and Infinite Sound feature no more prob already

The best simply does not mean going loudest as normally loud and thrashy sound causes high levels of fatigue to the ears.
Even a small transistor can be turned up loud but because there is a lack of power there are high levels of noise mixed together with the signals makes listening for extended periods difficult (of course I am only talking about normal people and not those that like to blast their ears off because strictly speaking they have already lost a lot of their sensitivity and thus wouldn't know the difference).
I mentioned ZV because it has relatively powerful sound across the frequency range with a slight boost at the higher and lower regions for movies (probably caused by the audyssey tuning)
If loudness is the gauge of best sound then we would be better off just buying some cheap pasar road amp and speaker instead of investing in proper hifi / av stuff.

Added on April 6, 2011, 11:52 amAuto volume or whatever name different TV companies call them are actually a compression function that basically takes away all the dynamics in the sound thus making loudest and softest passages seem like they are at the same loudness. This is fine if you are happy with just listening but if you want to enjoy the movie like the director meant for it to be heard you have better turn it off.

Yes, loudness is the gauge. I'm sure pasar road amp and speaker better than your TV speaker.

Please dun bring hifi and home theater here la. We talk about TV speaker. Dun deviate from this topic. You're out of topic oredi.

FLat screen tv? my panasonic tv got nice sound..

the purpose (of this topic) is for ?

comparison for buying a new flat-TV ?
pricing plays a main factor.

maybe a RM2300 - 32" LCD sounds better than a RM1300 32" LCD. or vice-versa.

personally i think flat-tv speakers are acceptable only, they will never reach greatness.

better keep your extra $ to spend on some 2.1, 5.1 or 1.1 system.
