LG 32LM6200 3D LED HDTV Review

Audio Quality

The LG 32LM6200 offers good audio quality for built-in speakers. The two 10-watt speakers on this TV produce clear sounds, although they do not get very loud. High end sounds, like monsters screaming and rockets flying, never sounded tinny. The bass was also decent, which is a great thing for a TV without a subwoofer. Is the quality better than your average 2.1 or 5.1 speaker system? No, and we would not expect it to be. For TV speakers, however, LG does a good job and gives consumers a wide range of sound modes to choose from.

In our calibration section, we mention that we always change the picture mode to the cinema setting. In some cases, such as this TV, doing that also changes the sound setting. For the 32LM6200, the cinema sound mode toggles the virtual surround mode on by default. The surround mode boosts the bass and does produce a fuller sound, mimicking a 5.1 system.

Other modes included on the 32LM6200 are standard, music, sports, vivid, and a custom user setting that allows you to use an equalizer. There is a setting called Clear Voice II, which makes voice and dialog louder, and a setting that adjusts the sound according to whether the TV is on a stand or wall mounted.
