Do I still need a soundbar with these TVs?

For casual viewing, streaming, and most movie watching, these TVs produce audio good enough to skip the soundbar. Audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts will still benefit from a dedicated sound system, but the average viewer will be more than satisfied.

Does wall mounting affect built-in TV audio?

Yes, wall mounting can actually improve audio on some models (like the LG G4) by allowing sound to bounce off the wall. Sony's Acoustic Surface also works well wall-mounted. However, the distance from the wall matters — leave at least 2-3 inches of gap for optimal performance.
