    Some of us can't use subtitles. I want to actually watch the cinematography and the actors. If text is on-screen I can't not read it

      Because a video game is a program that can change it's behavior as it's running.

      A video is a recording. It's already been recorded.

      You can record multiple channels, you already have left and right recorded separately. Other channels could exist for different things, it would just need a standard to follow to be useful

            Well since you're obviously into film, you should invest in a proper Dolby Atmos/DTS:X surround setup to give you options. You can either turn up the center channel, put it in "dialog" mode, or enable dynamic range compression (night mode).

            Regardless, tou're not getting the full experience if you don't have a surround sound setup. Ideally you should buy a receiver and hand pick your component speakers, but even a sound bar is better than TV speakers, so long as it's from a well-known brand and has up firing drivers in both the front and rear. If the third number in the number of speakers is 4 or higher (ex 5.1.4), then you're good to go.

            This applies to everybody reading this, not just lagoon8622. All your dialog problems are being caused by your TV speakers.

              Right now TNG. I'm re-watching it with my fiancé. The sound of the ship whooshing past is deafening.

              It's been a minute since I've seen the rest of the shows. So I don't remember how good their mixing is.

              Lol, I was actually thinking of using TNG as a positive example! Patrick Stewart is trained in Shakespearean drama and enunciates as such. Very pleasant to listen to.

                Are you willing to pay through the nose?

                Getting decent audio out of a TV with basically no bezel is a hard engineering problem. Read: expensive.

                There are some crazy schemes that have been tried, like embedding a piezioelectric layer on top of the display, but the reality is no one wants to pay a grand or two for that when they could just plug in a soundbar. What TV makers should really do is bundle soundbars with the TV in a combo pack, which I think they already (sometimes) do.

                That's part of the problem, isn't it? They're trying to make TVs into an art piece instead of a functional appliance.

                We were ok with fatass CRT sets when that's all that was available. When LCD became standard, most people were happy about that. Now that bezel-less TVs are a thing, apparently we can no longer go back to anything but a 65" iPad.

                  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.

                      Currently it's a basic starting point that they fully expect users to augment with their sound solution of choice. This is fine. I don't want to pay more for my next television because you're too lazy to figure out what the sockets on the back are for.

                        Sometimes there's also a random high pitched buzz in the background that's louder than anything else for one whole scene. How heard would it be to just remove that frequency range or maybe see that it is louder than every other scene?

                          I shouldn't have to invest hundreds of dollars into a whole separate sound system just because the sound designers of a movie can't properly balance to audio for stereo sound, the single most common audio set up in the entire world.

                              bezel-less

                              This is fine with OLEDs and future(?) emissive displays TBH. They don't need a thick bezel for much of anything, and thinning them out saves on materials/shipping weight up to a point.

                              Edge-lit LCDs were kind of an insane fad, but... outside low-end PC monitors, that's mostly over.

                                If subtitles are on I may as well be deaf because I'm no longer watching with those damn words getting in the way. That's what books are for.

                                  It would be nice if TVs came with a proper sound system, but since they don't, you should factor audio into the cost of your home entertainment system. That's like going to a restaurant and ordering food without a drink.

                                    Alot of it is... pretentiousness?

                                    Like, there's a lot of high-brow thinking in the movie industry where stuff is mixed for movie theaters. You know, theaters that have good surround speaker setups, but also turn the volume way too loud. It's "as its meant to be experienced" if you ask the Hollywood producers. I think Netflix and more small-screen oriented producers are better about this, where even surround mixes are much more reasonable.

                                    I've made similar experiences in movie theatres. And streaming services continuously disappoint on that front too.

                                      This could be because your TV sucks, or at least the audio, a lot of companies push for big Bass like would be in an explosion because it sells TVs which would be fine if they didn't skimp on the highs and mids making speech suck.

                                        Been there the hard way. I got Tubular Bells II, and listened to it via headphones (I had no speakers).

                                        There is one passage where the music ends, and a child speaks. It was hard to understand, so I turned the volume to 11, and heard the end of the sentence like "and nothing was ever heard of him again but the sound of tu-bu-lar bells." The next sound was the BANG of the tubular bells, making my eardrums meet somewhere in the middle. somewhere...

                                        As someone who played EVE a lot back in the day, all I can hear is "get that interdictor!"

                                          This could be because your TV sucks, or at least the audio, a lot of companies push for big Bass like would be in an explosion because it sells TVs which would be fine if they didn't skimp on the highs and mids making speech suck.

                                          Lol, no, it's not because your TV sucks, but because almost none of us are watching on a 5.1 or higher channel system and the audio mix was never changed from their cinema release

                                          Anything I watch in my TV that sounds awful sounds just fine out of my 5.1 PC because I suddenly have access to more channels where the audio is actually out (dialogue looooves to get mixed to center only for some reason)
