My current (Panasonic CRT) TV does have analogue outputs for sound.
However they audible clip/distort loud sounds and add background noise

They seem to vary wildly. My last TV was a Philips Matchline in a posh
wood cabinet. That had very good audio circuits - although the built in
speakers were as usual rubbish. It also allowed you to dub between the
various inputs without effecting the main screen and sound - very useful.
All in all a very good TV - but the 28" 4:3 screen just wasn't big enough
for my room when displaying 16:9.

My current set is a 45" rear projection DLP made by Sagem. I'd call the
sound circuitry just about adequate.
