    10,000 nits of peak brightness?

    Yeah higher peak brightness means better variance and a smoother gradient between black and white. Most content won’t get close to using the full spectrum, but the stuff that does looks amazing.

    And what is a 6.2.2 speaker system?

    The first number defines the number of main speakers, the second defines the number of subwoofers, and the third number defines the number of “height” speakers. That third dimension of audio is what makes content like Atmos sound so much more realistic than standard surround systems.

      Yep so, 6 speakers at the bottom, two subs (most likely at the bottom as well) and two speakers at the top… And then you better get an actual speaker setup because even something cheap will sound better.

        Don’t know about this one, haven’t looked beyond the headline, but not all TV sound systems are built into the screen. Some do come with legitimate external speakers.

        Many Atmos soundbars sound much better than they ought to; with what seems like real surround considering they’re, well, just a soundbar with no actual surround speakers. High end audio can be extremely complicated now, it’s not as simple as just having a speaker in a spot aimed at the couch.
