Anyone know any good speakers we can buy to connect to it? Apparently we also need a splitter? since this tv doesnt have it, according to get guy at Best Buy

You'll need something that is self-powered; I think the sound-bar type speakers would do well in this situation, where you just need it to be louder/clearer not so much a full-blown surround sound speaker system with a receiver. Plus they are fairly inexpensive.

Your new TV should have Optical out, these speaker bars will often have optical in; something like this:

If just need basic stereo: LG 40Watt Stereo Soundbar for Home Theatre : Home Theater & Audio | Dell Canada

Add a sub if they don't live in an apartment: Sharp HT-SL50 100-Watt 2.1 Channel Super Slim Sound Bar with Active Subwoofer System : Home Theater & Audio | Dell Canada
