HDMI-CEC is the most important TV setting you’re not using

With any new piece of tech, it’s wise to take a few minutes to learn more about it and configure it the way you like. For a separate home theater example, consider a smart soundbar. It can potentially sound excellent out of the box, but I like to turn on any vocal clarity features, and doublcheck the EQ if I feel like bass is missing some oomph. I’m not expecting the rumbling of a dedicated subwoofer, but any decent soundbar should bring me a step closer to a movie theater.
