The built-in speakers can play at cinematically high levels without immediately losing composure.

Cons: value for money, bass performance
The revised speaker system can play louder than the previous generation while remaining useful at lower volume settings in everyday rooms.
Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality
Cons: reliability, portability and versatility
The speakers can play surprisingly loud for a TV without immediately falling apart, making them usable in more than just a small room.
Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality
Cons: HDMI 2.1 port count, reflection handling
Standard-size models have modest output, while the 77-inch version can play surprisingly loud without immediately losing clarity.
Pros: picture quality, gaming performance
Cons: value for money, sound quality
Built-in audio can reach room-filling levels and sounds more dynamic than most thin TVs, making it viable without a soundbar in many rooms.
Pros: gaming performance, peak brightness
Cons: HDMI 2.1 support, HDMI 2.1 port count
Volume is adequate to room-filling in normal use, but high levels can introduce metallic harshness in one demanding audio test.
Pros: overall satisfaction, value for money
Cons: smart TV platform, blooming control
AI Sound Pro can produce sufficient or improved loudness, yet other tests found the speakers too quiet until pushed near their upper range.
Pros: picture quality, peak brightness
Cons: value for money, sound quality

Cons: value for money, reliability
The rear-firing speakers lose some volume and detail against the wall, reducing impact at louder levels.
Pros: picture quality, value for money
Cons: stand quality, daytime viewing performance
Maximum volume is a recurring audio limitation: several customers wanted more output or found the sound less clear when pushed. Noisy settings such as a running bath can easily overwhelm...
Pros: overall satisfaction, portability and versatility
Cons: value for money, menu responsiveness
The speakers lack the output and impact needed to fill a living room convincingly on their own.
Pros: contrast ratio, value for money
Cons: peak brightness, HDR brightness
The speakers can lose composure when pushed hard, so demanding scenes at high volume expose the limits of the slim chassis.
Pros: glare resistance, black levels
Cons: Dolby Vision support, color gamut
The built-in system can get loud easily, though sheer volume does not always translate into the most refined balance.
Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality
Cons: reliability, build quality
