Your expectations are too high, a 30mm thick screen will never produce good audio.

Various 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.

The 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.

Imagine 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?

Why do you think high end audio equipment exists?

You can still watch these movies, its just sounds bad on low quality sound systems.

In a lot of bass music the most important parts are simply inaudible on an iPhone speaker.

Apologies, “Netflix” has become like hoover, Google, or Kleenex - eponymous for the product.

Thats definitely an American way of speaking.

Americans don't call a vacuum cleaner a Hoover, do they? The British definitely do.

I don't think so, but I typically hear them use brands like Kleenex, Band-aid, etc instead of tissue, bandage.

Im 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
