This Sony BRAVIA LCD HDTV will allow you to enjoy a decent sound experience. I found that the audio system within this television to be excellent, and you won't have to purchase external speakers in order to enjoy a stunning audio experience. The speakers produce a total of 20-Watts of audio power, which may not seem like a lot to some, however, it is the internal technologies that boosts the sound.

I suggest buying a wireless mouse and keyboard to really enjoy this feature. There are also four HDMI ports and a USB port to connect your personal digital devices, such as a digital camera or iPod.
