Rear woofers add useful mid-bass and more weight than most televisions. They cannot reproduce true subwoofer depth, so cinematic low-end still requires an add-on.
Pros: overall image accuracy, resolution
Cons: motion clarity, response time
AI Sound Pro adds noticeably more bass punch and warmth than the G5. The low end can still turn soft, tubby, or underpowered in demanding movie soundtracks.
Pros: panel type, display technology
Cons: account requirements, DTS support
Rear woofers add more weight than typical thin-TV speakers, but bass remains modest and cannot replace a soundbar or subwoofer.
Pros: resolution, HDR format support
Cons: software updates, account requirements
Bass is tighter and more controlled than on the C5, but deep low-end impact remains limited on standard models.
Pros: resolution, contrast ratio
Cons: HDR10+ support, account requirements
Bass is consistently the weakest part of the built-in sound. Reviewers describe limited rumble, flappy or distorted low end, and recommend a soundbar or subwoofer for movies.
Pros: local dimming performance, HDR format support
Cons: gradient handling, banding control
Bass is limited and thin, with only modest rumble during effects-heavy scenes.
Pros: display technology, response time
Cons: setup ease, account requirements
