When you’re on the hunt for the perfect TV, no doubt, much of your concern will be placed upon getting a TV that offers the best visual experience. You’ll want a model with a great screen and a high resolution. However, because of the focus on visuals, many people often find themselves neglecting to consider what sound features their new TV might boast.
If you’re looking to get the most out of your favourite content, you’ll want to find a TV with cracking audio. Though there are many amazing models out there that boast sound just as great as their video, we believe we’ve found some of the absolute best of the best. Our Reliant tech experts combed through all of the options, to cherry-pick the TVs that offer the greatest sound experience!
What Sound Features Should You Consider In A TV?
Good Speakers
Of course, if you want your content to sound great, you’ll need your TV to be up to the task. Unfortunately, though many TVs offer a great visual experience, they can be left somewhat lacking when it comes to sound technology. Especially in terms of their built-in speakers.
If you want a TV that sounds as good as it looks, you should look out for one with high-quality on-board speakers. The higher quality the speakers are, the more realistically they’ll be able to recreate certain sounds. This can create extra believability for your favourite shows and films.
It’s worth looking for good built-in speakers in your new TV. They physically allow your TV to more accurately recreate specific sounds. This results in a more realistic viewing experience.
It’s also worth looking at how many speakers there are, and how they’re arranged. Multi-channel audio systems that make use of multiple speakers allow for different sounds to be sent in different directions. This can make it much easier to hear dialogue even in the busiest scenes.
Sound technologies like directional audio are also worth looking for. They allow sound to follow the action on-screen. For instance, if a character were to move from the left to the right of the screen, the sound would follow them accurately!
Support For Premium Audio
To help make the most of great built-in speakers, we recommend that you look for a TV that supports premium audio formats. Dolby Atmos is a particularly great audio format that enhances the believability of any content. However, only certain TV models offer support for the format. So make sure to keep your eye out for compatible models!
