Many find that their television’s built-in audio is inadequate, often likened to sounds emerging from a tin can. While most TV speakers are sufficient, they often fall short during scenes with quiet dialogue or loud sound effects. The TCL Alto 8 Plus, now priced at $99 at Walmart, addresses this issue. The cost is lower than the price of some HDMI cables.
The soundbar offers substantial audio enhancement through Dolby Atmos technology, providing a three-dimensional sound experience that envelops the listener. Included with the soundbar is a wireless subwoofer, which enhances low frequencies, adding depth to sound effects such as explosions or slamming doors. The setup process is user-friendly, requiring no advanced technical knowledge.
This soundbar is particularly compatible with TCL Roku TVs, allowing users to adjust settings with the TV remote. However, it can also connect to other devices via HDMI eARC, optical, USB, and Bluetooth, providing versatile connectivity options. With a size of 39 inches, the soundbar improves audio quality without overpowering the room’s aesthetic.
Product specifications include a price of $99.00, reduced from $259.00, and availability at Walmart. It features 2.1.2 channels with Dolby Atmos, a wireless subwoofer, and a 300W peak audio output. The soundbar supports HDMI eARC, HDMI, Optical, USB, and Bluetooth connectivity and is Roku TV ready. Its dimensions are 39.4 x 4.8 x 2.6 inches, and it weighs 14.7 pounds. The model is black, with a model number of TS8212-NA, and it operates with a corded electric power source.
At the $99 price point, this soundbar serves as an affordable enhancement for television audio, significantly improving sound quality.
