hdmi 2.1 soundbar?

ive been hunting for a soundbar that supports hdmi 2.1 passthrough with all features (4k120, allm, vrr) for my bedroom, my tv only has 2 hdmi 2.1 ports with one of them being the earc port and i intend to pair my series x with a ps5 in the next month or 2, but i cant for the life of me find a soundbar that supports these features, the closest ive found is the lg s95qr which has everything but 4k120, its promised to come in a software update but ive been unable to find any confirmed dates for said update. my only other requirement would be hdr 10 support for the ps5 that would be plugged into it.

The vizio should have the hdmi pass through but your right about the samsung but i checked and the samsung hta 5000 defo does but it may be a tad more expensive

it does have hdmi 2.1 with 4k120 and hdr, i cant tell if it has allm or vrr yet but since itll only be the ps5 plugged in i can just always keep it in game mode which would eliminate the need for allm, still looking into vrr, but if i find a solution or decide to give up on vrr i might just get the a5000 or a7000, thanks!

HDMI 2.1 supports vrr by default unless your tv doesn't support it even though it should

i have 2 hdmi 2.1 ports but one of them is the earc port, so in order to use vrr on my ps5 i would need to use the passthrough on the soundbar, my xbox series x occupies my other hdmi 2.1 port

Most soundbars aren't like AV receivers, which can have 6, 8 inputs and handle the switching - most soundbars have one, maybe two HDMI ports, which are going to be for eARC, and rely on the TV to do the switching. A starter AVR/speaker setup may make more sense for you.

 

I share your pain - so many TVs just have the two HDMI 2.1 inputs.
