The sound quality of a television is an underappreciated aspect of a product primarily designed to give you a picture. Unless you buy an expensive Bose VideoWave or Bang & Olufsen TV, then its built-in audio is not going to be much more than an afterthought. TV audio quality is not even something we test for here at CNET. But I'm interested to know how important sound is to you. Do you listen to your TV's speakers, have a dedicated 7.1 surround sound setup, or are you somewhere in between? Let us know in our poll, and if you are using speakers, let us know how you have them set up in the poll at the bottom of this newsletter!
