    If you want your TV to have an audio system on par with the 4k OLED display it’s going to cost twice as much and weigh three hundred pounds. And be gargantuan. Speakers need space to move air and resonate.

      I don’t need high-powered, audiophile-grade surround speakers. Just maybe something a little better than a landline phone. There’s a pretty wide spectrum, and TVs come with shit tier audio. They don’t have to, but they do.

        That’s what they sell sound bars for. They even have brackets to hand the sound bar from your tv or wall mount. Putting that in every tv adds a hundred bucks for hardware not everyone will use.

        “One size fits all” sucks, it’s better to offer a modular system that people can adapt to their needs and situation. It requires a tiny bit of extra effort but plenty of retailers will do the thinking for you too if you pay them.

          It doesn’t need to be one size fits all though. Currently one size fits few, when a few extra bucks could make it one size fits most.
