Sound quality: Does the Samsung LN 19B360 really have poor sound quality?

Good picture for a 19" wide screen. Very poor sound. About equal to an average laptop computer.

I find the sound quality very poor and avoid listening to this TV. However, it doesn't bother my wife.

No. We returned this one because the sound was not much better than the Samsung tv. We replaced it with a much better quality Yamaha product.

No, sound quality is still excellent. Try moving it to another location just in case you are picking up interference from something else nearby.

I recently bought the ANC7b after losing my ANC7 headphones (my dumb fault). Although I expected the newer model to have better sound quality, I was disappointed. Mids and highs are more muted, though bass seems more prevalent in the "B" model. I am planning to return the ANC7b model to Amazon, and have found a seller on eBay that has the original ANC7 model for sale.Just my 2 cents...

I've had the TV for about 6 months. It is a bedroom TV so doesn't get a lot of use. So far I have encountered no issues but I do not like the sound quality.

I'm having the same type of noise problem with a 26" Samsung. It was like that straight out of the box. The backlight was set on 10 (in the Dynamic picture mode) I have to keep the backlight setting at 5 or below and then it's masked by the TV volume. On mute I can still hear it. Very annoying. I'll be contacting Samsung very soon.

The 255's text to speech quality sounds lower quality than the 7 series and the older units. It uses lower bitrate. It still is clear, just sounds digitized.

Poor sound quality and limited volume is the one big drawback of this TV. However it's easily handled. Just buy any inexpensive pair of speakers and plug them into the earphone jack. I do recommend using powered speakers rather than Bluetooth or battery powered. I'm using a small and inexpensive pair of Logitech speakers with mine. Plenty of volume.

The sound quality is fine. It would be much better if it were surround sound. Many movies produced are constantly going from low to high volume. Hope this helps.

I honestly don't know and have not experienced this issue. I guess now that you mention it, I did feel like when people talked on this tv it did seem a little low. I would mess around with the audio settings and see if anything helps in there. If not, I would reach out to LG or research on some forums on the internet.

The sound quality is good depending on your blue tooth connectivity mine is on a Samsung galaxy 3 phone and it is good. What isn't great is sound volume. I consider the sound volume somewhat weak. Overall they are good. .. not great.

My husband has a Samsung and does not like the sound quality at all. I've had very good luck with sound quality and battery life with all my LG phones, and this extravert is no exception. I do not use my phone for the web or anything like that, so I'm not sure how the battery would do if I did use it for that, but for calling and texting, it is great. I also don't use my phone to listen to music, but all my ring tones sound great - no distortion at all. Sound for regular phone conversations is excellent.

I'm no audiophile, but I've only heard a distinct drop in quality on my phone. At my computer, streaming music through Google Play, though, it's identical to my ears.

I purchased the Samsung LN52A860S2F a couple of days ago and I was told by the merchant that these tv has a better picture quality then its predacessor, but I can't find that fact anywhere. I wonder if I got tricked in to paying $200 bucks more for nothing.

i have a samsung approx 6 yrs old and the tinny sound is constant. it only started within the last 6 months, I just figured it's time to replace it. And I have directTV

Not really that good to be honest. They have a hollow, tinny sound. You can adjust them with internal controls but I don't think it helps much. I rarely use them and play the sound thru my external 5.1 surround system. It's a shame because otherwise the TV is excellent for the price.
