#1 Roku Pro Series (2025)
5.0

Stereo imaging and virtual surround are unusually convincing for built-in speakers, creating a wider and more immersive soundstage than typical TVs.

Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality

Cons: reliability, portability and versatility

#2 Samsung S90H
5.0

Amplify mode opens the presentation noticeably, creating a wider and more involving soundstage than the default setting.

Pros: glare resistance, black levels

Cons: Dolby Vision support, color gamut

#3 Hisense U75QG
4.5

The 2.1.2 speaker layout creates a surprisingly broad, immersive stage for a TV, including usable height effects in some rooms.

Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality

Cons: reliability, build quality

#4 Hisense U65QF
4.5

The built-in speakers create a fuller and more spacious soundstage than expected for a budget flat-panel TV.

Pros: overall satisfaction, value for money

Cons: smart TV platform, blooming control

#5 Sony Bravia 8 II
4.4

Acoustic Surface Audio creates a wide, well-localized presentation that extends beyond the screen, though a full surround system still adds more immersion.

Pros: gaming performance, peak brightness

Cons: HDMI 2.1 support, HDMI 2.1 port count

#6 Sony Bravia 7 II
4.0

The TV can create a surprisingly wide, spacious stage, but some setups still make the sound feel tied to or behind the screen.

Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality

Cons: HDMI 2.1 port count, reflection handling

#7 Sony Bravia 9 II
4.0

The soundstage is broad, tall and spatially convincing, with effects extending beyond the screen and good positional precision.

Pros: overall satisfaction, overall image accuracy

Cons: value for money, bass performance

#8 Amazon Ember QLED TV
4.0

Sound has a pleasant breadth and wider profile than basic TV speakers, even without convincing height effects. It is competent rather than truly cinematic.

Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction

Cons: value for money, reliability

#9 TCL QM8L
4.0

Virtual spatial processing adds a noticeable sense of height and width. It is effective for casual immersion but does not replace a real surround setup.

Pros: picture quality, value for money

Cons: stand quality, judder handling

#10 LG C6
3.8

The presentation can sound wider and more precisely mapped than older C-series TVs, yet standard models still feel narrow beside a dedicated sound system.

Pros: picture quality, gaming performance

Cons: value for money, sound quality

#11 LG G6
3.8

Audio can spread beyond the screen with decent directionality, yet it often remains contained and lacks the scale of stronger built-in systems.

Pros: picture quality, peak brightness

Cons: value for money, sound quality

#12 LG StanByMe 2
2.7

AI Sound Pro can make the presentation feel wider, but opinions are mixed because some reviewers found the result hollow or overprocessed. Standard or Cinema modes may sound more balanced.

Pros: overall satisfaction, portability and versatility

Cons: value for money, menu responsiveness

#13 Roku Pro Series (2026)
2.5

Removing the older Soundstage audio port is treated as a setback caused by the slimmer design.

Pros: contrast ratio, value for money

Cons: peak brightness, HDR brightness

#14 LG B6
2.0

The soundstage is narrow and rarely extends beyond the screen.

Pros: picture quality, value for money

Cons: stand quality, daytime viewing performance
