    How do we know we're getting a new one and not just old stock they're pushing out?
    Pretty sure you can just update the firmware yourself if needed but by the lack of complaints over the past year it seems like they've gone through all the old units. The M51a goes on sale for $200 every year during BF so they move a lot of units

    This model has the up firing speakers on the sound bar, so real Atmos. Not saying it is the best implementation out there, but it fits the definition of Atmos

    I bought both to compare them, side by side, and kept the M51a over the M512. It was louder, less veiled sounding, and had better channel separation. If Atmos matters to you I didn't notice much difference at all (testing with meteor scene in Rings of Power).
    The M51 does annoyingly drop its signal between source inputs (gaming and then immediately switching to Android box) sometimes, but I think it's great otherwise.
    Honestly I think the V51-H6 @ $150 is more than enough for most people but any of these should be an appreciable improvement over TV speakers
    Are the two up-firing speakers the only difference between these units? Looks like dimensions and weight of the sub and satellites are identical, remote and touch controls look the same. 9 speakers vs 11 speakers per the descriptions

    I bought this one on BF. Very good soundbar when it is working. Clear conversation, impressive surrounding sound, much better than old Samsung 2.1 with 2 rear speakers, no comparison. Hisense soundbar is garbage, don't buy. One issue with eArc, not compatible with fire cube 2nd gen. No audio sometimes, fire remote can't control volume with eArc or optical. It could be fire cube issue, but Vizio soundbar is big brand. I see a lot of eArc complaints. Atmos is simulated not real, chicken rib, but better than nothing. Buy with caution.

    Up to the person, but this is open box excellent for 273 at Best Buy if you can find it.
    Same for me to add here - it's also $236 for certified refurb on eBay with a 2 year warranty. It's sold by Vizio.

    Can you share the link for $236? The only one I see is for $369.99

    It's probably 10% of what atmos is intended to sound like at best. I don't even know why they allow stuff like this to be called atmos.
