Best TVs for audio passthrough

#1 TCL QM8L
4.0

The TV can pass audio to a receiver or soundbar while letting the television remote manage power and volume, simplifying daily use.

Pros: overall image accuracy, resolution

Cons: motion clarity, response time

#2 Hisense U75QG
3.3

Audio passthrough earns praise for broad format support, although one later firmware complaint involved trouble outputting Dolby Digital.

Pros: sustained brightness, HDR format support

Cons: gaming mode quality, Bluetooth audio support

#3 LG G6
1.5

DTS passthrough over eARC is missing, forcing disc users to route compatible players directly through an external audio system.

Pros: panel type, display technology

Cons: account requirements, DTS support
