Samsung HW-Q800D Soundbar (2024)

A 5.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with wireless subwoofer from Samsung's 2024 Q-series. The TV connection is HDMI eARC, and a single HDMI input provides 4K@60Hz HDR passthrough — there is no HDMI 2.1 input, so 4K@120Hz sources should connect straight to the TV. An optical TOSLINK input covers older TVs, and the USB port is for firmware service only, not media playback. Q-Symphony lets it play in tandem with a compatible Samsung TV's speakers.

Samsung’s 5.1.2ch Atmos soundbar with wireless sub, HDMI eARC out, one 4K@60Hz passthrough input, and optical in.
