As the world’s third-largest TV manufacturer, Hisense has a lot to live up to when announcing its 2019 lineup of TVs at CES. The headlining product is the Sonic One TV, a “self-contained” TV with a piezoelectric speaker that allows sound to be delivered from the panel to viewers sitting nearby. It’s a super thin television, measuring just 1.1 inches at its thickest point, thanks to the aforementioned speaker tech.

While some high-end TVs that deliver sound through the display may have solid sound quality, nothing beats a dedicated soundbar setup. It’s a market that thrives because most televisions have average speaker quality. I’d like to hear it (and see it) in person to believe it, but until I do, I’ll remain skeptical of its sound performance.
