Anyone got any opinions about the sound quality of built in speakers on a 26"
lcd tv? 2 x 10 watts seems to be the norm. Is it significantly worse than a
CRT? If so, is there any way to run external speakers that can be controlled
with the tv remote? TIA

Sound from modern flat screen TV's is dire, in part due to them having
no side depth and the box being not much bigger than the screen size.

yes, its inevitable. But be grateful for progress.... Had a blast from
a 1950s tv a few years back, and christ was it bad. Very little cone
travel, stiff paper suspension and probably valve bias way off.

If modern TVs used the rear plastic case cover as a flat panel speaker
for lowish frequencies they'd do better.


You could connect some vaguely decent speakers to the internal speaker
connections. Any ok quality small bookshelf stereo speakers of
freecycle should do, eg celestion etc. The other option is to bypass
the tv sound amp/speakers entirely and connect something mildly decent
to your decoder box.
