tldr; Slim design focused bar. 3.1.2 without external sub. Good for clean setups where space is limited.

Best praise vs top criticism for Samsung HW-S800D
“That soundbar is going to block the bottom of the screen. I have an 83" B4 with the same stand as yours. Get out your measuring tape and see. Google samsung slim soundbar to find a model that will fit. I got the s800d and am happy with it. Huge improvement over the tv speakers.”
“You're limiting your audio capabilities with a BT connection in-between your setup, there is no point in having a brand new S800D and limiting it's audio capabilities. Really what you need is an HDMI splitter ([multiple HDMI in and 2 HDMI out, like so](https://www.amazon.com/avedio-links-Switcher-Splitter-Optical/dp/B08CKZR52G/ref=sr_1_5?crid=33SAOOLM0851Z&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.18BkheqMFRtSzC-mTQzBWCO69lLrG6n7nAIqFxTe6Bc4wesXrqg-0oDkmXPHa6NL-c7F5VfMkGm3zqoM0uQVUhlOC5zd1LbaF59jAqxF-FEVxOtbNmnd_C8mEFkf1wleFhg3WezQfD9TFL4O6SZHEpfnzmGLx4_BqG6ItR5DYW_zf8rHPN3aNn2goEHfWp--oIMjXmCmjPiiubzdkRG63kFGaJ-O2VoHfNjS8f7PqMI.qPzBkW8iGJeGlpZcSSSpgErBnpFQkpN7G0lecHCqqG8&dib_tag=se&keywords=hdmi%2Bsplitter%2B4%2Bin%2B2%2Bout&qid=1727373714&sprefix=hdmi%2Bsplitter%2B4%2Bin%2B2%2Bout%2Caps%2C101&sr=8-5&th=1)). You would connect it like so: * PS5 to HDMI In #1 on the splitter * Chromecast to HDMI In #2 on the splitter * HDMI Out #1 on the splitter to Projector * HDMI Out #2 to Soundbar or Optical (SPDIF-A) to Soundbar This setup will allow you to have two more HDMI inputs incase you want to add further 3rd party connections down the line (ie. XB-SX, Blu-ray player, etc..) The device would also all you to connect a 3.5mm cable from your headphones directly into the unit itself or you can connect via BT to your new Soundbar.”
