Best TVs for distortion control

#1

Dialogue and midrange stayed clean without obvious distortion, even when the built-in speakers were asked to sound full.

#2

Voices and midrange are usually clean at normal levels, but one 48-inch model introduced distortion as volume increased.

#3

Distortion control is mixed: one source hears only slight musical harshness and another reports clean output as volume rises, while Tom's Guide finds obvious bass distortion at high stress.

#4

Loud peaks can trigger audible compression, but the effect is considered acceptable for built-in TV speakers and helps prevent harsher distortion.

#5

Pushing the volume introduces slight distortion, and action scenes can sound sluggish rather than clean and forceful.

#6

Distortion becomes obvious in demanding bass or high-volume scenes. Heavy low-frequency stress can sound muddy or flappy, so external audio is preferable for action movies.

#7

Audio stays reasonably clean at normal use levels, but there are reports of thin mids, distortion, and even speaker crackle on defective units.
