Questions people ask
Do I need a receiver?
If you want separate speakers and real surround, yes. A soundbar is simpler if you do not.
How many channels do I need?
It depends on your speaker layout, such as 5.1 or 7.1. Add channels for height speakers if you want Atmos.
Will it pass 4K 120 Hz?
Only if it lists HDMI inputs with that bandwidth. Check the product page.
