TV with front speakers

Donie75

Hi, I’m looking for a new TV around 50 inch but I would like one with good quality speakers that don’t need a soundbar. Any suggestions? Budget up to €800-900

Hi Donie75.

Thanks for the post.

TV speakers are a lot better than they used to be to be honest.

You could check out the first in the Samsung QLED range the 50Q60A coming in at 699 Euro

If you went up to a 55" there is the 55NANO806 coming in at 749 Euro

Or in a 50" the excellent Sony 50X89 coming in at the top of your budget at 899 Euro

Thanks Kenny, my situation is that I am moving into a new house with a large kitchen/living room. It came with an old 12-14 year old Sony 5.1 system and an old TV mounted on the wall. It’s a complicated system so I’m looking to fit a new wall bracket, get rid of the old Sony speakers and fit a slim tv with good sound with a SkyQ mini box mounted behind the tv. Should I look at something like a Sony HTX 8500 or will one of your suggested TV’s be sufficient for a large room?

Hi Donie75.

When you say big room just how big to you man?

The Speakers on the TV listed above would be descent but they might not fill a very large room and a soundbar will always help fill that void.

Stock on the X8500 is currently out and we are awaiting on an ETA direct from Sony on them.

The room is around 6.5 metres by 8 metres.

Im thinking of a soundbar without a separate sub to keep the installation tidy. Would something like a Sonos Beam be a good option if I want to use it for music also? My three main requirements for the room are a TV, tv sound system and something to stream Spotify and radio. Would a Beam work for both TV and Music?

Hey Donie75.

Most TV might struggle to fill a room of that size unfortunately.

The Sonos Beam would be a fantastic option as I also use one of these at home myself in my living room. (No subwoofer). It performs very well and you get all the functions connected to Sonos. I also have a few play ones dotted around the house and sometime set them up in the living room along with the Beam for movies.

For music it is also very good at streaming, I use Spotify and Apple Music via the Sonos app and works as it should.

The current Beam Gen 2 is priced at 499 Euro
