I've been growing my HT system for 10 years, taking turns upgrading the audio and the video.

My conclusion: assuming reasonably recent, properly functioning equipment, the sound is contributes about 70% of the enjoyment and the picture about 30%. The eye/brain combination is far more forgiving and computational than the ear/brain seems to be. A small, 720i set with a very good sound system is far more watchable than a 50 in set using its built in speakers, for example.

Try adjusting some of the TV settings, like gamma, or noise reduction or even sharpness. You may be hard pressed to see any differences in the picture or will quickly become accustomed to them. Try overdriving an amp and listening for any length of time.

Also note that there are hundreds of speaker designs but only a half-dozen or so of video display designs. Good audio is far more elusive than good picture quality.
