TV rating with external sound system

[deepoison]

Looking for a TV. Sound Quality is paramount priority and started looking at reviews in this website. I do plan to pair my TV with external sound system. Do I still need to look at sound ratings of TV?

Sony OLED TVs sound lot better than LG as per ratings and reviews I heard from others. Does it still matter if I buy LG or Sony?

Context: I was thinking of getting Sony A85L as recommended here. Sony A85L is at $2000 now, LG C3 for $1500 and LG G3 is at $2300 in US for a 65inch TV. Financially, LG is making better sense. After pairing up with Soundsystem, does Sony still have upper hand over LG? Or do they play equally at that point?

Nope, as it looks like you won't be using the internal speakers.
If you're connecting your sound system direct to the TV, make sure it has suitable outputs that match your sound system.
