The sound on this TV is really low. Can anyone recommend small speakers that won't take up too much space but can amplify the sound?

The problem is not just the speakers. There isn't sufficient amplification to product acceptable sound levels. best to get a sound bar or an inexpensive receiver and speakers. YMMV

I wear hearing aids. When the sound on my TV is too low I check to see if my hearing aid batteries need replacing. Have you had your hearing checked?

Used or new the altek landing VS_4121 speakers are my favorites. They are a smaller 2-1 setup with a Very good sound . Better than the 4122s.

Thanks for the info. I have thought of placing the Zvox next to the TV, but that may not give good surround sound. I have searched Zvox 550, it is only 3 1/2 inchs thick could place TV on it, a little more costly though. The TV is already higher than I like. By the reviews, Zvox seems to be very good.

I'm not sure but my suggestion to you is to try to find another sound bar cause the sound quality is not that good.

I am buying these for my tv because the sound is not loud enough, will these increase the sound enough for a small bedroom

Hi i just bought this tv and loved it until I turned down the volume and had the same problem. I am returning it unfortunately but for the price it is a steal :-)

I purchased one of these a couple of months ago and the sound is OK, nothing spectacular. You should be able to hear it though; so you may consider sending it back. Knowing that the sound volume isn't so great, I already had a small bluetooth speaker that I connected to this TV/DVD player and it soinds fantastic. I used a straight wire to hook up the external speaker because this player doesn't have bluetooth capabilities. You can purchase on of these speakers from Amazon at a very reasonable price, around $30. It is very small and will make a big difference in the sound performance.

That is the use I put it to on several small LCD TV's where the sound is terrible without it. I also use speakers that Amazon has inexpensively. I use larger speakers with it as well. Excellent!

I bought a sound bar for my T.V. The sound from the set itself is not too bad, but not good enough if you have a big living room.

You could purchase a matching tower to your left and right front channel speakers I have not noticed a tinny sound. But my room is smaller and I do not crank the volume You could also try a Polk or Klipsh(disclosure theypurchased Jamo and now mfg. that brand and line) Those would be at the lower range of cost between 2 and 3 hundred I still think matching is you best option

Yes, I am one that can't stand the very limited sound that comes from any tv. This sound bar was a nice compromise between my wife and I vs. putting a 5.1 system in the spare bedroom.

The sound is not great. The speakers are in the back and sound a bit muffled. You can raise the volume loud enough but some programs sound hollow. I would recommend getting a soundbar. The tv is great!!!

Not sure what you expect from TV speakers but this tv has pretty decent sound. Nothing bad about it but you would definitely take some external speakers over the built in ones if you want better sound. Hope this helps

In my opinion, yes. The main problem is the speakers fire downward. If the TV is sitting on a reflective surface, it magnifies the problem which I would describe as as weak or hollow sound. Sibilance is also exaggerated. Maybe you should try it yourself and if you're not pleased,you can always add a soundbar. The picture is quite good.

You may have to change the setting on your tv to use the external speaker. Mine sounds great.

What do you suggest to improve the sound? I just ordered the TV - don't want to raise the roof or anything but don't want the sound to not match the picture. Thanks.

Yeah that seems to be the deal with the new ultra thin 40" Samsung LEDs. My friend bought one from Best Buy and the sound was so tinny that a sound strip with woofer had to be used or the TV was like a radio compared to a Sony Bravia 40". The only problem with this is you need to turn up the volumn to a mid-high level to notice any difference in the sound. Don't need to have my TV that loud and the speakers in my Sony are just fine for my living room. Why spend extra for a speaker system when you can just buy a Sony and have quality sound from the internal speakers??

I got a subwoofer and center speaker also. I would recommend a subwoofer. It helps a lot. I think the speakers sound too shrilly though. It's good for home theater but not accurate for classical music.
