Your expectations are too high, a 30mm thick screen will never produce good audio.
- maccard 10mo agoVarious sections of my screen (LG C series) are significantly thicker than 30mm. Also - this isn’t a speaker problem this is a content problem. I watched the princess bride last week on the TV, and didn’t require captions, but I’m watching Pluribus on Netflix and I’m finding it borderline impossible to keep up without them.
- throw-12-16 10mo agoThe content is mixed with decent audio systems in mind. When you listen to that content on a good system you don't have these issues. Nolan films are a perfect example.
- maccard 10mo agoImagine if we said “hey your audio is only usable on iPhone if you use this specific adapter and high end earphones”. Somehow the music industry has managed to figure out a way to get stuff to sound good on high end hardware, and passable on even the shittiest speakers and earbuds imaginable, but asking Hollywood blockbusters to make the dialog literally audible on the most popular device format is too much?
- squeaky-clean 10mo agoIn a lot of bass music the most important parts are simply inaudible on an iPhone speaker.
- throw-12-16 9mo agoWhy do you think high end audio equipment exists? You can still watch these movies, its just sounds bad on low quality sound systems.

- maccard 10mo agoApologies, “Netflix” has become like hoover, Google, or Kleenex - eponymous for the product.
- throw-12-16 9mo agoThats definitely an American way of speaking.
- badc0ffee 9mo agoAmericans don't call a vacuum cleaner a Hoover, do they? The British definitely do.
- throw-12-16 9mo agoI don't think so, but I typically hear them use brands like Kleenex, Band-aid, etc instead of tissue, bandage.
- maccard 9mo agoIm a bit confused why you’re surprised to see American terminology on a site with a predominantly American user base, or why it’s worth commenting on. That said, I’m Irish and live in the UK. You’ve never heard people say “I’ll hoover that”, or “you can google that”? Kleenex and band aid are definitely American ones but given the audience I thought it was apt
