Perhaps TV manufacturers will find a way of including decent speakers in/on/under their products, instead of requiring users to pay another £100+ to hear what the pretty pictures are about.

The presumption these days is that the TV is a monitor, and that it will be used in partnership with a 'surround sound system'.

That won't happen. Televisions now are too thin to have space for decent speakers.

I have a Sony HT-CT60BT on one TV which cost about £80 and provides clear audio quality.

I think this soundbar has now been discontinued by Sony, but there might be somewhere selling clearance stock cheap.

We went for a speaker stand which does a decent job for what it is.
