Would you recommend some sort of external speakers for this TV? If so, what would be a good choice?

I agree, there is no need for external speakers unless you are trying to produce surround sound.

Depends on the size of the room. The tv's sound is adequate for the room I have it in, but if you are using it in a large room, and don't want a full stereo system, get the LG NB2530A sound bar as an addition. It has a 100 watts, (2) subwoofers, bluetooth and sounds pretty good. Amazon has it for $169 right now.

You would have to purchase a sound bar or similar product and connect them using the digital audio out on the back of the TV using a fiber optic cord. The Bose Cinemate series 2 would be a good example. I have the Bose solo. It sounds just as good and it only 3 or 400 bucks.

Sound is typical for thin LED-LCD, which IMO is pretty bad. You want to hook up external speakers, but can only use the digital coaxial or headphone jack, as there is no digital optical. I thought the picture quality was very good, but mine had a faulty panel. Someone else got a faulty panel too if you read the reviews. Just know that if you order one, you may end up having to exchange it. I ended up ordering a Panasonic, and the first one was perfect. Not need to return it.

I had the same problem and bought the Sony SRS-A3 External PC Speakers for the 19" tv in my kitchen. They're not expensive and the sound is fine.

Speakers are pretty good for a tv but do not really register low tones(bass). So far we really like the tv. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes. There is a setting for either internal or external speakers on the TV itself.

You don't have to use the built-in speakers if you don't want to. The sound doesn't come through the HDMI cable, it comes from a second audio cable... just like you would use to any external speakers.

We have this tv. The tv sound is not that great, we have our sound coming through our stereo dolby 7.1 , it sounds great! I guess buying a soundbar is another option.

IMO if you are buying a nice 55" tv or any nice HD tv IMO, you should have a nice HOME THEATER SYSTEM to go with it. I dont even use the built in speakers ever... so that isnt a concern to me.. I cant see watching a 55" 3d tv with built in speakersand for the record, they dont sound good at all..

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

to me sound is no worse than other tv"s. i just wonder how you get a sound bar to work with this tv?

It's not very practical to buy speakers, test them and then return them and repeat until finding the best solution. I'm sure going to stores and listening is good but it might sound different when you get it into your home setup.Do you have any suggestions on a good 5.1 setup for the onkyo 606 that doesn't break the bank?

Any good quality speakers will work fine. Any good quality speakers will work. I would suggest speakers that sound the best to you.

I stongly recommend a sound bar. The sound from the TV is quite inferior. It made a huge difference for me. I bought both TV and the sound bar here.

TV's speakers are sufficient for me I do not intend to add external speakers

You can add external speakers - there are audio outputs. There are also audio inputs to accompany external video inputs.
