The sound is pretty good as flat screens go. I do have a surround sound system but that is NOT a result of poor sound quality on the TV. I have several flat screens from different manufacturers and the sound on this TV is by far the best.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've got mine in room approximately 13x13 ft with an 8 foot ceiling. The built-in speakers allow me to hear dialogue just fine.

I guess one thing to consider is that if you decide that the TVs sound isn't good enough for your situation, you could always add a sound bar later. That said... The sound of this TV does continue the general trajectory of built-in speakers getting worse and worse year after year. For instance, I had a 50" plasma TV 10 years ago and the sound on that was considerably better than this Sony 70". And even back then built-in speakers were starting to get a bad reputation. Also, a few years ago I bought a 55" LED TV from the 2014 model year, and even that had slightly better built-in sound than this current generation Sony.

Part of that is because the built-in speakers, even if not horrible here, are nevertheless worse than my previous TVs. The other part is, I suppose, because a TV of this large size just deserves a bigger sound than the built-ins provide. In my opinion, that is,
