Going from an old Tevion - with front grilles, to a Samsung that didn't, the sound was clearly lacking - eventually got it kind of ok after some tinkering with tone / sound mode, but still not as good. The stand also does not lend itself to a nice arrangement with a sound bar.

They used to call TV sound "the poor relation" some time ago, but if anything, it's got worse in the super slim models of today.
That's a turism. Our new Sony Bravia smart LED TV has a cracking picture and very thin bezel but I had to add a 100W subwoofer and fiddle with the graphic equiliser to get the sound anything like the Philips Matchline CRT that it replaced. That had 4 speakers in the TV cabinet including a big subwoofer.
