The cabinets of CRT TVs had room for bigger speakers with deeper cones and larger magnets. It was generally easier to produce reasonable TV sound with an inexpensive speaker of this sort. Also, the enclosure partly acted as a speaker cabinet.

A month or so ago I bought a Bush led tv from Argos and the sound was very tinny. It also developed a fault so I returned it and had a refund.
I now have a 19" LG led tv from Richer Sounds which has an output of 5 watts per channel and reviews all rated it good for sound quality. I agree, it has very good sound despite the fact that the case is very slim so I would say that the quality comes down to design and how much effort is put into making the sound good rather than saying all small led tv's have poor sound.
The problem is that you often can't hear tv's before you buy, you can only view the picture (and the picture on the Bush was great).
It's best to read reviews before buying to get feedback from real users.
moonpenny - no - the thinner LED backlit TVs will have WORSE sound all other things being even because they have even less space to put the speakers in.
