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.

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.
For anyone who'd like to see what the guts look like I found a video review of the TS8132 done by a European audio magazine. Although they call it the 8e instead of the 8+, it appears to be the same hardware and specs. They do a complete tear-down, even removing the subwoofer driver from the enclosure. The reviewer seems to be impressed with the overall build quality and the quality of the drivers. Jump forward about halfway if you want to get to the guts in a hurry, lol.
