I had a 5.0 setup before I even bought my first TV. I was just using my PC monitor until then.

It's counter-intuitive but decent sound comes first. I'd much rather watch Interstellar in 360p with 5.1 audio than in 4K OLED HDR with built-in speakers.

But when you say that people get mad because they spent a grand on a TV that sounds like shit and they feel they have to defend their choices.

Agreed. In computer terms it's similar to using integrated graphics when you bought everything else to be a gaming computer. I mean, the integrated graphics will work, but it feels like you're missing a curcial component there. Or buying a computer with a spinning hard disk as it's main drive now. You have to go into the purchase thinking of the whole usage in mind, not just what's on the screen.
