Sound

Like the LG CX OLED, the internal speakers in this Dolby Vision HDR Roku smart TV are not bad at all. You’re going to get a quality sound for your TV shows, movies, or gaming… enough to keep you satisfied. For those of you who require a booming stereo sound to go along with your entertainment, you might want to add on some external speakers.
