has it got forward facing speakers

The speakers are on the bottom edge of the TV. They may be slightly aimed forward but I can't tell thru the plastic grill.

There is a setting in the bluetooth advanced menu for setting the speakers to "front" or "all". It defaults to front. I'm not sure if it affects the subwoofer, but it might be worth a try...

Yes it does have speakers and I don't have any problem with them. I don't know about the other response but, the one's I have will tilt and I have two of them.

No, it cannot. I looked through the manual and can only be used forward facing.

No. The speaker is actually right under the screen and facing directly forward.

Not directly in front, but far enough that I've never had a problem with the sound pick-up. Have been using one for a long time and don't have any complaints about it.

It has a mode for front only, and a mode for all directions. There is a switch on the mic.

The simple answer is 'Yes'. There is some amount of tweaking that you can do, but be prepared to listen to it if you get too close. Some people build little sheet metal boxes around the backside to minimize it going off if you really want it to be fully directional... Mine sits behind a speaker box that shields it somewhat.

Shirley, I've looked along the sides and don't find any ports for sound to escape. The speakers are forward-facing. Incidentally, mine supports the weight of my 46" Panasonic plasma without complaint.

No way.The connections are in the back and the speakers have to be pointed forward.

Yes. There is a removable fabric screen over the front. The screen has a plastic frame underneath with pins that fit into the speaker body to hold them in place. With the screen on, in non-direct lighting you can just barely see the speakers underneath

It has speakers, of course, but they are not in front. They sound as well as any others out there. We have owned this TV for a year and love it!

No. It can only go forward, backward, left, and right. It's kinda loud and i was honestly a bit disappointed in this product.

Teresa - not sure why I received this inquiry as I didn't buy this item. It does seem like there is a speaker grill on the front but again, I don't know for sure. Good luck (Happy July 4th) Peter

I don't have an answer to your specific question. I have had my speaker for about 18 months and like its tonality and volume. It seems to me it beams the music in a forward direction and the sound is less intense to the left or right of the speaker. However, I have the speaker in a large basement and a smaller room would likely have different acoustics.

Since the speakers are down-firing (facing downward), the sound is not as clear if they were front-firing (facing toward). Check this thread for possible optimum sound settings - http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1020612.

Speakers are in the rear, but it does have a headphone/speaker jack, so you could hook up a set of computer speakers or connect to a stereo if you wanted to potentially improve the sound. It does sound fine for daily listening.
