It's a 5.1 with true 4 speaker setup, has front lcd display and Dolby Atmos. All for $129. When it comes to soundbars, with exception of the Vizio M-series 5.1.x (which costs over 2x), you're not going to notice much difference between all of them.
Price to feature ratio on this is pretty tough to beat. If I can get 2 or 3 years worth of decent sound from this, I'd consider it a win.
Thanks for the post, OP! Just got one for the extra 65" in the bonus room.
I don't have optimal placement for the rears , they're just on two side tables left and right of my chair - blocked by chair and far from ear level. Still an enormous improvement and I can definitely tell certain audio is coming from the rears during certain scenes. Probably easy to wow me since i've never had more than 2.1. Subwoofer on the hisense is a definite improvement, too.
This is the most theater-like sound i've ever experienced at home so that's cool. I really bought it to see if it improved voice clarity. All dialogue seems to be coming from in front of me watching Netflix's 2022 film, Troll… but I haven't had to adjust the volume between talking scenes and action scenes once. I got so used to this with my old sound bar that I just left the remote in my lap. TL;DR i'm super happy with the result and the price. The only thing I lost was the volume # on my tv (Samsung tv with samsung bar did this) but that doesn't matter at all since this hisense has a display on the front.
I'd like to see a review but I'm always worried about the dialog being too quiet so I usually want to boost the center channel on my receiver setup. Curious how this handles the center channel and dialog/voices.

EDIT: After playing around a bit more, I can see that a message that says "SW PAIRING SHORT" scrolls across the sound bar when stopping any surround content, even just pausing a movie, then stopping that movie brings up the "SW CLEAN" message, and that's when the surround speakers and sub become disconnected. They will then not connect again unless I manually pair them. I cannot find any reference to those messages in the manual anywhere, or in any internet searches. It's as if these are some sort of internal diagnostic codes that I'm not even supposed to be seeing (why have them displayed on the unit if there is no description of what they mean anywhere?). I think I'm just going to have to return the whole thing, which is such a pain because I just got everything installed throughout my living room. Ugh.
