This is why I always prefer ARC or eARC audio on my TVs

I genuinely pity people coming into the home theater space in 2026. While the technology is better than ever, there’s such a baffling number of terms and standards — and products associated with them — that it can be hard to know where to begin. Perhaps it’s no wonder that some people might just wander into a store and walk out with the largest TV they can afford.
