Poll of the Day > What do you keep your TVs Volume at?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Only increase or decrease it in increments of 5 because I'm mildly OCD

It doesnt have a number, just the bar so idk

I just had to replace my TV and the volume scale on the new one seems ridiculous. I generally have it sitting around 6-7 out of a scale of 100.

16 for games, 16-20 for shows. A billion for movies because the fucking dialogue is so low.

That's why I only ever leave mine on even numbers.

16-30. It has to be a even number and I have sensitive hearing.

I only watch TV on my computer, which is set to 69 because I've got these really crappy expensive speakers.

I don't have a TV. At most I have a couple consoles hooked up to a spare computer monitor, and the volume is around 13 or so? The sound quality would be better if I could get a flatscreen TV for cheap without the bells and whistles every TV nowadays seems to have, but eh... It is what it is.

SEVEN. yea

Just the lowest quarter, perhaps third, of the volume bar; I don't pay attention to the number and honestly can't even recall if there is a number.

10

My amp is in dB. Usually either -48 for quiet, -44 for medium or -40 for loud.

Increments of 5

I just default to subtitles.

I haven't watched TV in years. My laptop volume is set to whatever works best for what I'm doing at the moment. Same thing for when I did watch TV. Audio levels aren't consistent enough between stuff to keep it to one set volume.

I keep it near the minimum.

Even numbers or multiples of 5

tv's volumes depend on the brand of the tv and the type of blu ray player when watching a movie for DVD or blu ray. Thats why i always have subtitles on because even if the movie is cranked up all the way to volume 70something the audio is still low because of the audio quality of everything from the tv itself, the blu ray player or even a game console to play stuff even the 4K blu rays.

There's even some Anchor Bay, Shout/Scream blu rays where they dont have subtitles so when youre watching their documentary behind the scenes, you pretty much have to crank up the volume to even hear what they have to say.

-30 for normal, up to -15 for movies.

No fucking clue why mine is in the negatives. 0 would blow the windows out of the house.

Same. I hate odd numbers, no reason.

I use a 5.1 audio receiver. Usually between 12-20 during the day and 8-11 at night. Max volume is like 35 but is insanely loud.

I use a receiver with headphones, and never have it louder than 22/100. Even that's only for particularly quiet media (the output of my Blu-Ray player, for instance, is significantly quieter than my consoles). Usually it's around 15/100.

It's in dB (ie a defined scale, rather than an arbitrary one). Especially considering companies can't even agree if the maximum should be 10, 30, 100 or something else, lol.

I don't own a "TV".

It varies a bit by what's playing (games tend to be louder than shows/movies, and of course different pieces of media are louder than others even within the same medium), but it usually stays around 14 or 16, going as low as 10 or as high as 20 as needed. Even numbers only, of course. I'm at least that civilized.
