LG Scarlett LCD tv sounds poor???
I have recently bought a new LG Scarlett lcd tv after my last lcd tv was damaged by the wife with a wii remote 
The reports said how the picture and sound were so much better than the previous version which i had (it was only 3 month old when accident happend) The speakers are apparently hidden, but the sound is what can only be described as truely awfull. Its really tinny no matter what sound setting i put it on. I have had to connect it up to my surround sound but this is a bit much all the time. Surely a £800 tv should have good sound

If its anything like our LG in the kitchen (btw which festure-wise seems waay over-specced for a 22" TV, I guess it uses the same circuitry as the larger units of the same model range ).
I found the auto-volume leveling plays weird tricks with the sound. Somehow it kind of makes speach sound hollow. The speakers also point downwards too, which obviously has a negative effect on the treble and stereo imaging.

Did some work for LG a while back and they where modifying the chasis because of vibration/rubbing problems (speaker related) on sets made in Eastern Europe, a lot fo which find their way into the UK.
They had a team of some 25 Eastern European workers set up in an industrial unit in Northampton just modding these TV's!
It may be it wasn't modded/fixed or was fixed but badly.
Contact LG, they are real hot on CS and will get it sorted.

common problem with lcd tvs as the speakers as so small, some better manufacturer get around this by fitting good quality expendive speakers.

TV speakers are not usually that good, built to a price and space are and issue. You should get adequate sound, not exceptiona but good enough to listen to, if it does sound tinny try a set in a local comet or such and see how thats sounds in comparison.

Just been on the phone with LG customer Service, very helpfull i might add. Engineer going to call about coming out to see the tv. Possible software upgarde or repair i am told. I know the sounds are not usually great due to the inbuilt speakers but this one takes the biscuit!!!!
