A third number in the channel layout (the "2" in 3.1.2) means height channels that fire upward. The TCL S45H and Samsung HW-S60D list Dolby Atmos without height channels in their layout; Polk explains that its bars can also up-mix standard audio "to create a virtualized Atmos experience". Expect the clearest height effects from bars that list height channels.
How to pick between these
- If you're on a tight budget → the TCL S45H. Accept that it has no subwoofer and no height channels.
- If you want height channels and a subwoofer for under $500 → the Polk Signa S4 (3.1.2).
- If you also stream music → the Samsung HW-S60D or the Sonos Beam (Gen 2), both with Wi-Fi. Polk lists no Wi-Fi for the Signa S4.
- If you want the subwoofer in the box and Wi-Fi → the Samsung HW-Q800H.
- If you want one large bar and nothing else in the room → the Sonos Arc Ultra.
Your TV needs an HDMI eARC port to pass full-quality Atmos to any of these. On an older TV with plain ARC, they still connect, but the formats the TV can pass are more limited.

How these were chosen
31 of the 40 soundbars we catalogued (as of October 19, 2026) list both Dolby Atmos and HDMI eARC; 32 list Atmos and 31 list eARC. We picked six across price levels and setups, favouring models whose maker states the channel layout or the width. The others are in the finder. We use the price the maker's store charged when we checked and don't show prices because they change.
