On the non-Smart TV version, the 60PN6500, one of the reviewers commented about the excellent sound. Can anyone talk about the sound quality please?

Not sure what you expect from TV speakers but this tv has pretty decent sound. Nothing bad about it but you would definitely take some external speakers over the built in ones if you want better sound. Hope this helps

The sound quality is average. It is surprising loud though. With most LED TV's I notice I can't hear them on their loudest volume. I would invest in surround sound if you are going to use this TV in your living room as your main entertainment source. If it's for a bedroom, the sound is fine.

I also bought a Samsung 120 watt surround with Bluetooth $149 on Amazon. But you will be surprised of the sound quality that the TV speakers omit, not to bad.

William: Since you've had the 9040 for a week now, could you please be more specific and give us some details about what you have experienced? Does it do a great job of upscaling non-hd material to 1080p? I plan on buying one, but need to hear from someone how it performs when hooked up to an HDTV and/or Home theater system.? I would appreciate any additional information you can provide so I can learn a little more prior to pulling the trigger on this a/v receiver. Thank a lot William.

No problem, let me know if you have any more questions. I've had this TV for about a year now and I love it. The SMART TV (internet) features are pretty shabby but that's not why I bought it so for me it works great!

If we are speaking of the PN60F5300, the answer is no. I can't speak for any others in the series, but I'm guessing that the whole series is NOT smart. The price and other specs / design of the TV would be consistent with that answer.

I purchased the Samsung for there good reviews but had sound problems on the HD chanels. It looks like Samsungs digital tuner isn't stable on the sound if you are using a satilite box or cable box then the sound doesn't go through the tvs digital tuner so I think this is why there are so many good reviews most people are using a box for there tuner. Samsungs customer service was terrible but Amazon took the tv back and I purchased the Sony with out any sound problems.

the b640 has most of the specs of the b630, but with the glossy finish of the b650. I am a fan of the 120hz and you notices the different with your blu-ray player or PS3 and the dead HD-DVD. It makes things pop-out a little and look a little unatural, but is like 3D on some movies. When you turn it way too high you get the halo effect and some blocking on fast scenes. Most people will buy a blu-ray player sooner or later so I say just go with the 120hz for the future. If you turn it off it is just like watching the b550. Most antenna broadcast will not pop out as much, since the source is not as good.

I have not had any issues with the device; and, it sounds great with the speakers and sub-woofer I have connected to it. I live in an apartment so I don't get to use it to it's full potential often, but there have been a few times I cranked it up to see what it can really do, and it did not disappointed. Sure a large factor when it comes to the quality of sound has to do with the speakers that are attached, but music and movies come in crisp. All of my devices (except for Ethernet) are attached via HDMI. The HDMI pass-through works great with no loss in quality, even when the device is turned off. Having the ability to attached all of the devices to the reliever and then only have one HDMI running up to the TV makes it much easier to have a clean-looking cable setup running out of the TV. **NOTEs** 1) I'm not a fan of 3D at home, so I cannot tell you how well the HDMI pass-through would handle the increased data requirements of 3D. 2) I live in an apartment which is not set up well when it comes to using the 2nd zone option on the receiver, so I cannot speak to how well that function works.

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.

I own this TV and bought it in Thanks giving for 2400k on amazon with bundle. Yes the sound is not great, but i added a sony sound bar to fix that. But PQ is really amazing. I don't have issue with the stand at all, and we have wall mounted this.Really great TV

I think the sound is really solid for built-in tv speakers, especially with dialogue clarity turned on. I'd still recommend getting a sound bar and sub for the best results, but its not at all necessary

I use the TV sound and it suits me fine. Granted it's not the best it can be, but if you don't like it you can buy a amplifier receiver & speakers and go at it.

Hi there. I haven't used it often but what I have seen impresses me very much. I would have to agree it is Cinema quality. I like that it's a passive system so I don't need to charge the glasses or waste money on batteries. I am in no way an expert in 3D technology but it impresses a layman such as myself. The tv overall is phenomenal best tv I've ever owned, especially for blu-Ray. Happy hunting.

I was interested initially in the 40A550, but ultimately went with the 40A650 because the important features were a priority for me, maybe a bit of futurizing. But now that I've had the 40A650 for 10 days, I've just made the plunge and am exchanging it for a 46A650. I figure I haven't bought a tv in 16 years, let alone a flat screen or high def, so I'm getting exactly what I want and I wouldn't want bigger..but for me the type I want came first if that was the only choice..don't know if this helps but as this post was 4/08, you may be past this by now..Good luck..
