Best TV for
sound quality
How can sound boost the TV
viewing experience? Let's find out.
Upgrade to a TV with intelligent innovations in sound performance and enjoy the ultimate home viewing experience.
For the best TV sound, check for the following:
How immersive is the sound performance?
In terms of sound quality, one of the major improvements in today's best TVs is the use of special location-based or object-based sound technology which let individual sounds be heard relative to their on-screen location. For example, if a boat speeds across the screen, you can now hear the boat's sound follow it exactly as if you were there in-person. It's an immersive sound that adds a brand new level of realism to the viewing experience.
Make sure your next TV is equipped with this innovative sound technology.
On an open body of water, an overhead wide-shot view shows a boat circling counterclockwise before exiting the upper left side of the screen. Object Tracking Sound Plus lets the boat's sounds be heard directly from the boat's relative screen location as it moves around the screen. An animated ripple graphic is superimposed onto the moving boat to illustrate that the sound and the object are moving together on the screen.
How optimised are the sound technologies?
Auto-optimised by scene
TVs with superior sound performance can now auto-adjust EQ settings for you in real-time and based on the type of scene. If you want to hear a fully rendered sound best suited for any scene type, auto-optimised sound is an important technology you should consider.
Auto-calibrated by location
TV sound is affected by where and how the TV is installed. Choose a TV with spatial recognition technology and it will analyse installation type and room layout then automatically calibrate your TV to the best sound settings.
Auto-enhanced dialogue
TVs with the best sound feature a unique technology that identifies potentially distracting noises around you, then automatically boosts the volume of on-screen dialogue. Be sure your TV has an auto-enhancing dialogue feature.

When a sound bar is connected, does the TV sound stay on or turn off?
What happens when you connect a soundbar to a TV? Most of the time, the sound from the TV speakers are turned off and the sound is played completely from the soundbar.
However the ideal soundbar should deliver simultaneous sound playback from both TV speakers and the soundbar, so make sure to listen for this important detail.
A simulated comparison of QLED 2020 Q-Symphony audio technology shows two identical living room environments side-by-side, each with a man sitting in front of a QLED TV and soundbar. On the left side, Q-Symphony audio is turned OFF and the sound comes from only the soundbar. On the right side, Q-Symphony is turned ON and in addition to the soundbar, sound also plays from the top two corners of the QLED TV, resulting in a more immersive audio experience.
