System and methods for television with integrated sound projection system

A television comprising

• a screen;
• a sound projector;
• a control system coupled to the screen and sound projector, wherein the control system causes the sound projector to project one or more sound beams into a room toward one or more target locations, and wherein the control system displays a graphical user interface on the screen, the graphical user interface including graphical representation of the projected path of the one or more sound beams and operable by a user to adjust the angles of the projected path of the one or more sound beams;
• wherein the interface prompts a user to input information using a menu-driven format;
• and
• wherein the interface prompts the user to input sound beam angles.

A method comprising the steps of

• prompting a user to enter a first parameter regarding room size, a second parameter regarding TV location, and a third parameter regarding viewing distance from TV,
• calculating beam angles for sound beams emanating from a sound projector embedded in the TV,
• drawing a first set of polygons corresponding to paths of the sound beams emanating from the sound projector, and
• displaying the polygons on a screen of a TV.
