I currently have a 2018 Vizio M70 (2018) it works great clear clean picture.

But I currently upgrade my surround sound system to a Denon S960H and I’m running to Klipsch R-625FA floor standing speakers with Dolby atmos. Plus a Klipsch center channel rear surround sound speakers and 2 klipsch subwoofer’s for a 7.2 system

Well I know I need E-arc so the TV will send the signal to the receiver so the atmos Speakers will play but my TV currently only has a ARC.

Any suggestions on a 75-85in TV with E-ARC (if im am going to get a new TV figure I should atleast get a little bigger) that won’t break the bank?

Or any suggestions on how to get my current TV to be able to send the signal for Dolby Atmos for the time being? currently my receiver has a HDMI 2 cable going to the TV, and everything else is plugged into the receiver (PS5, Apple TV, DIRECTV 4K etc) is there a way to put a converter between my TV and the Reciever that will allow DTS-X and Dolby Atmos along with Dolby Vison (which my current tv does support) 4K etc?



Search for the HD Fury arcana or something like that I think that converts signal to E-Arc

Yes that is what I am looking for.

Is there a similar product that you or anyone knows of that does what the HD Fury arcana
Does but at a lower cost.. just thinking I am going to get another TV in the near future, so if possible I’d like to not to spend that much on something im only going to be using for 6months at most

Are you the one who was having volume issue with your 960? If so, did you ever get the configurations figured out? I had recently made some changes and re-did the audyssey setup. I have multiEQ, dynamic EQ, and dynamic volume all off in the audyssey settings. No low volume issues.

ETA: About a TV in that size range. I can't say enough good things about the Sony x950h. Mine is 75" and was right at $2k earlier this summer. Big jump in cost to move up to 85" category. Works seamlessly with the Denon 960 through eARC. Even OTA antenna shows sound great, especially football.

Best Buy. Sony OLED 77” A80J just dropped to $2999. Excellent deal. I paid $3499 about 3 months ago and that was a good deal. This is a great deal.

Best Buy. Also, the 65” Sony OLED 65” A80J is right at $1800. That’s insane, Black Friday prices.

Just curious why e-ARC is needed. Seems mainly useful for smart TV apps, in which case I find a streamer like Roku, Fire, AppleTV etc to usually be better. Even though most good TVs today are some form of "smart" there are potential drawbacks in security & privacy of doing it in the TV, plus it lets you focus on the TV doing its job well just as a display.

eARC is 37Mbps audio bandwidth and ARC is ~1Mbps.

As a result, you can only pass Dolby Atmos through ARC via Dolby Digital Plus. You have to have eARC to pass through Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD for "real" lossless Atmos.

While true, none of that is relevant to using an external streaming box to the receiver instead of the TV. If the OP is set on doing that, fine, just pointing out that there are other options with some advantages.

It's probably easier, plus most 2021 and even 2020 models have eARC that aren't bottom tier.
