How's the sound quality &amp; Volume on this TV?

I have personally been very pleased with it, but bear in mind, I don't do a lot of sound functions on this. I am using it more for personal things like photography and emails, etc. I watched some videos and a Netflix movie, seemed very good quality, I was very pleased.

i've heard better sound on my home theater but for this size, it's fine. I dont use it as a TV but for PC monitor its good.

My opinion after recently purchasing this television is that some sort of sound enhancer (i.e., external speakers, receiver) is probably necessary. I find myself turning the volume nearing to maximum in order to hear shows and movies. I've owned other Sony televisions and had a similar experience. Great television overall but sound quality is not quite there. Hope you find this helpful.

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

Hi Aimee - I bought this a little over a year ago and the sound quality and the picture quality is pretty good. I want to listen to some of my Cloud music a little louder :) but maybe I need a better speaker system than I have now. Other than that - I have no complaints.

The sound system is good, better then in most TV's. Don't expect a great HiFi sound but it has a dissent system.

I bought the Sharp for my son. The sound was weaker, but according to him, that is the price we pay for the thinner TVs. I also bought a Samsung Smart TV for my house. Both have the same problem. He solved the problem on his with a sound bar. I just turn mine up high. I will probably add speakers to mine eventually.

The noise level is very good, mine is in the living room quite close to my TV and I only have to turn my volume level up a couple numbers to watch TV. I am very happy with my unit.

Mine is great. The picture is very good. I mean that because I have a panasonic 65vt50 and after watching that I can still enjoy watching this one. So it most not be that bad if my eyes can stand the change from the best you can buy to this tv. It's currently in my bedroom

I installed my TV in my kitchen. I do have to set the volume at a high setting but it is loud enough to hear while I am cooking. It's not the best sound but sufficient and mets my needs for my kitchen area.

Received my new 19" Samsung yesterday (great deal from Amazon for $171). Picture is great, sound was marginal. However, I hooked up a set of CREATIVE external speakers to the RCA audio jacks and now have great sound too!

As long as you don't crank it up past like 25 the sound quality is pretty good! I own this tv and I love it! For the money you won't find a better 32 inch! If you push it too loud the bass will distort, but trust me with the cinema sound turned on in the setup menu, you won't have any reason to turn it up past like 20.

I own it and it is mostly fine. After a move a few years ago, a yellow line runs down the middle that is only really noticeable on blue backgrounds. It runs hot and is an energy hog (200w) compared to current LCD tvs. Also the contrast and resolution is not as sharp as current tvs even at 720p. The remote only works if you point it at the lower right corner of the TV, where the sensor is. 40" tvs are $300 new (with better specs), so I hope you get a good deal.

The sound quality is pretty decent. It does not matter much to me as I have Home Theater attached to it.

The sound quality is 'thin'. But the picture is so good that it is worth it to hook a sound system up to it. And that doesn't have to be so expensive and will make it a great combo!

Hi i just bought this tv and loved it until I turned down the volume and had the same problem. I am returning it unfortunately but for the price it is a steal :-)

The sound is actually pretty good, but I'm still getting a sound bar and wireless base. Since this is a Sony system, can anyone give me Sony model numbers that they like the best and why? My TV is the 550 70". Thanks.
