How bizarre. I detest subtitles for myself as I end up reading rather than watching the content - compulsively.
I've never had an issue hearing dialogue so I'm perplexed as to what audio setups are being used to make things so lousy for so many people.
The modern TV has awful audio since the speakers are pointed either down or behind the TV. It makes everything sound muffled, just so the screen looks like it has a little black frame around it. I didn't need the subtitles when using a CRT TV because the audio was considered part of the watching experience and they pointed the speakers at the viewer.
Even with a good sound bar and surround sound it's hard to hear sometimes because audio mixing is made for theaters and some directors just suck.
That's true. There should def be a TV and theater sound mix.
