i finally decided on the z5100 because i saw it in the store and noticed the bezel was nice and thin, and that the tv speakers pointed forward.

this allows for easy hookup of my kids video games and the camcorder.i can't really comment on the sound quality as i use my avr speakers for sound.so far i'm very pleased w/ the product.
from www.bestbuy.com
it has different defaults like "gaming" "sports" "movie"the manual is easy to read, and use.dislikes: slow remote!, sometimes the remote wont respond.heard crackles from speakers, but now are gone.
from www.amazon.com
a few times my speakers seem to crackle, pop.then come back to orignal sound, but i think it may because im still on regular cable.
from www.amazon.com
the sound on the tv is also very full - i did not notice any tinniness coming from the speakers at all, and it seemed well balanced between base and treble.
from www.amazon.com
if you plan to use the tv speakers and like to crank the sound up, you might be a little dissappointed as they are a bit tinny and don't have much power.

also, for a flat panel tv, i was pleasantly surprised at the decent audio with only the sets speakers.
from www.amazon.com
speakers are perfectly adequate for watching tv but they fall a little short on movies, so consider adding a soundbar.
from www.amazon.com
the speakers are adequate for daily tv viewing, but use an external sound system for movies and music if you can.

sound - the speakers are hidden underneath the set, so sound production is weak.
from www.amazon.com
the speakers are very weak and can't handle a lot of volume which is understandable given its dimensions.
from www.amazon.com
honestly, this tv is ultrathin so what kind of speakers will fit into a tv that thin?

the picture quality is excellent, and is very easy to adjust with the built in picture wizard.for built in speakers the sound is very good.
from www.amazon.com
the only down side that i wasn't expecting is that it has no analog audio out (no rca l/r out) so you'll have to have a digital receiver if you want run the sound through external speakers.
from www.amazon.com
i did notice the "lip sync" problem when using the tv's speakers to watch tv.

sound is superb with bose companion speakers connected with no receiver required.

you should definitely get some surround sound for this, the integrated speakers are not that great but that is also part of living in va beach with all the noise from the super hornets over head.

the built-in speakers are just okay; they may rattle a little if there is scene has a lot of bass.
from www.amazon.com
built in speakers are ok but would look for another way to add sound.

from Bruce from Reading, PA, www.circuitcity.com
based on the reviews i read before i purchased i was thinking i'd have to add speakers or something - got it up and running and i've ended up being pleasantly surprised.
from petemayo, www.newegg.com
i really liked the features, my wife really liked the finish, just nice thin black gloss hidden speakers.
from NetPro, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: the sound is not terribly bad but obviously, can't compare with the sound from a dedicated system with large speakers positioned away from the tv.
from www.amazon.com
the speakers in the toshiba give satisfactory audio, especially for my bedroom, where i have this set.
