So ordered, delivered and unpacked (the price - performance ratio is actually very good) it is noticeable that the otherwise slim case - not quite as slim as the EDGE LED televisions, but much slimmer than my Samsung - at the bottom of a broad beam forms backwards. In it, the downward-firing speakers are built. But installed amateurish. The Lautspecherchassis are simply "on the fly" mounted. So that no sound pressure can be generated, because the air is pumped only to the speakers around a so-called acoustic short-circuit.
A speaker must always be installed so that front and back are separated by a wall (boxes have a so-called infinite baffle, as they are closed all around), ie when the membrane does to move forward, this is not by the vacuum which also gives rise to be added behind the diaphragm, so that the sound pressure / air pressure erases largely. This relates specifically to the long waves, or the bass. The sound of Thomson is an outrage, sounds like an old transistor radio which represents a medium-wave transmitter.
If the "bar" would serve on the housing at least the purpose to give a good sound (can what you could achieve by professional installation of speakers also) he would not have to accept but so.
The picture is good / very good to. Just like here ever noticed by the active shutdown selective LED's creates a strong contrast to often in the image. Friends of blacks will be thrilled that is black really reproduced here deep black.
I do not see that it is the same device still needs to buy ordinary speakers to a new TV, the one by opening the Thomson and installation of a switch and lay out of cables for the boxes has to buy a decent sound separately. Or must operate the TV permanently on a Dolby Digital system. The TV has to offer as a stand-alone device already reasonable sound.
So he goes back, that is - as the politicians say "unacceptable."
