Apparently there are two models, the TS813 and the TS8132. I assume the TS8132 is the newer and current model. The biggest difference appears to be that the TS813 does not have optical and the TS8132 does, so if optical is important to you this could be a concern.

Since the Walmart listing says it supports optical and comes with an optical cable then it should be the TS8132. But about half the reviews say it doesn't have optical, so I guess it's a crap shoot on which one you get. I ordered one for shipping thinking that I might stand a better chance of getting the new model instead of one that's been on the store shelf for a year, but I could be wrong. I didn't feel like driving down there and fighting the crowd to find out which one they had.

The TCL product page is at https://www.tcl.com/us/en/products/sound-bars/alto-8-series/alto-8-plus-3-1-2-channel-sound-bar-ts81... [tcl.com] To further confuse matters near the top of the page it lists optical, but in the Specifications sections it says Optical = NO. The downloadable specs PDF says Yes.

I guess I'll find out in a few days when it arrives, and at least Walmart is easy for returns.

Sorry. All I did was copy and paste the description from the Walmart website. I'm just someone who was looking for a soundbar and stumbled upon this deal.

Walmart code WOWFRESH (which is supposed to be just for grocery orders) worked for another $10 off when I entered it in checkout window (though I did not actually buy).
Another option is the PAYPAL10 ($10 off $50) if you pay by PayPal and have not taken advantage of that coupon yet.

I am real tempted by this. On the TCL site it seems like a good build with both a woofer and tweeter for the main three channels, and two upfiring drivers for the Atmos.
That plus eArc HDMI and just about every apple/google/alexa/spotify option you could want.

But I already have two great sounding soundbars and can't justify upgrading.

Wish I could also find more review on the specific model.

Did anyone receive this yet and get the optical connection? I want to order...

Thanks!
I just picked mine up and it does have optical connection but didn't come with optical cable, if you need one. The manual says the optical cable only comes with model TS8132.

5.25" subwoofer, I think bass won't be good.
I wasn't expecting much especially with having a decent home theater using dual SVS subs but this little guy packs a punch especially in the 15x15 room it's in. Kids think it's awesome for there marvel movies.

Yeah this is just a kids play room it's for. Just got the element 65" deal from target so yeah just looking for a budget set up. The tv will probably have hand prints over it in a matter of weeks and the sound bar cloth/screen will be poked by little fingers
I was shopping for the exact same cheap tv...

What do you think? I'm using Polk sound bar with 12" sub (8" driver) but no dts:x or Atmos, I had to change my 4k player to output pcm for dts:x content, thinking of upgrading to one that support dts:x and Atmos but I think I will be disappointed by 5.25"

I just ordered and will have it delivered in a few hours. I figured it has eARC which is just as good if not better then optical. We will see if it's worth 150
ARC is in fact better. Optical does not support Dolby surround sound.

If your current sound bar is mounted below TV attached to wall mount, since it's atmos, the 2 up firing speakers needs space between TV n sound bar, it needs to be lowered a little more. Just my situation, could be few more as well in same situation.

Wrong info. TS813 and TS8132 are exactly same product. TS813 is only sold at walmart.

Wrong info. Optical does support Dolby Digital 5.1, just not Dolby Atmos or Dolby Digital Plus.
