TV sound is even more obvious. TV sets have never had really good

It's worse than that. The £500 sound bar that came with my new Samsung
(spit) 65" TV is a PoS. Another one of the multitude of reasons I hate
the damn thing.


Some sound bars are a vast improvement on the internal speakers, so you've
been very unlucky. But mine is fed to the Hi-Fi, so not a problem here.

I had a Samsung 55", bought in a panic. No matter how I fiddled, I
couldn't get half decent flesh tones. Faces always looked like cartoons.

Luckily it broke down just out of warranty. Power supply fault. No rush to
replace, so ended up with a 60" Panasonic. Just about right straight out
of the box.

Samsung now fixed and in the spare room. Looking just as awful as ever.
Perhaps they are designed for oriental flesh tones?

But I like my Samsung phone. Super camera. ;-)
