My Sony LCD set from '08 has pretty decent sounding front firing speakers. Good mids and highs and even a trace of bass. Also has a set of always active variable audio outputs that I hook to a JBL powered sub-woofer. With the TV and that sub, I rarely ever turn on the surround receiver. Watching "TheCoolTV" channel right now it's putting out the bass.
Seems like pretty much all new sets have a minimal speaker setup just to make a sound, intended for customer to use a "sound bar" or AV receiver with.

I buy the better line, amplified computer speakers from the thrifts. I plug them into the headphone jack of the small sets.
Sure makes a difference.
