VIZIO - Elevate SE 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos Soundbar

I think one of the best soundbar deals you can get right now (because of the Prime Day sale) is the Vizio Elevate SE 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos Soundbar. It is on sale right now for $299 and it usually retails for $500. I just ordered this myself because the specs and price is fantastic (reviews are really good too). I have owned a few Vizio soundbars in the past and they all perform way above their price range. It features a main soundbar, subwoofer, and two satellite speakers. But the really great thing about this model is that it will give you true Dolby Atmos height separation because of the up-firing speakers that automatically oscillate into position when it detects Dolby Atmos or DTS X, making it pretty future proof too. For the price it is really hard to beat, highly recommend! [https://a.co/d/0jrzsXK](https://a.co/d/0jrzsXK)

At the $500 price point the TCL Q85H is the best imo I've listened to both the Vizio Elevate and the TCL q85H and I think the TCL q85H is better

Check eBay for some food soundbars. I just purchased an open boxed Vizio elevate se for 299, I believe

Q600c or vizio elevate SE if you are wanting atmos. Polk has atmos but only pseudo-atmos in their lower end models. upfiring drivers are not really polks thing. I believe only one of their bars has upfiring and the rest of them are pseudo-atmos.

I just bought mine several weeks ago. I love it. There were and still are some issues; I could never get into the app to control settings, so I bought the remote. I prefer a remote anyhow, and this one has a backlight. The other issue is I’m unable to turn off the LEDs in the up firing speakers. Not a big deal as they are not bright. It’s the one option the remote control does not provide

Who knows. It would show up in Bluetooth and connect for no longer than a minute or 2, but the app wouldn’t populate any models to connect with. Then other times in Bluetooth the speaker would show up along with a ‘vizioapp’ connection. Same issue, would connect and disconnect and never show the model in the app. I don’t know how many up clicks is the max for leveling my settings. I feel like it might be 6-7 clicks tho

Do not get the lg soundbar. I have an lg oled and upgraded from the same vizio soundbar to the lg 85tr, and I hated it. Went back and got the vizio 5.1.2 elevate, and I'm so much happier. Much better quality than the v series, but they are both really good value for the money. Lg just doesn't punch enough.

I went to Best Buy and listened to the LG soundbars. I was not impressed. I went with the Vizio Elevate 5.1.2. I'm very happy with it. Except the fact that there is no volume level indicator. Your right, the LG didn't have enough punch.

If you’re wanting a soundbar for less than $200, get a 3.1 channel. I was in your shoes recently as the sound from the tv in my bedroom was not great. I spent a good amount of time trying to find what would be the best value for lowest price which led me to the hw-b550d. It is on sale for $179.99 on Amazon and at Bestbuy and I have been very happy with its performance. It’s basically a q600c minus the rear channels. But you can buy them later if you want to add them. If you’re wanting a 5.1 and can spend a little more $ the vizio elevate is excellent and I have been very happy with it for the several years I’ve had it now. I’m not sure it’s still sold though.

Same here....I bought Vizio elevate system. Wow, never going back.

I have a Vizio elevate sound bar etc....more than happy with it.

Did you have a budget in mind? I'm quite happy with my Vizio M-Series Elevate.

Under $500 puts you firmly in Vizio territory for best bang for the buck. Again, I love the M-Series Elevate. This is the newer model: [Elevate 5.1.2 Soundbar SE](https://www.vizio.com/en/sound-bar/sb/SL512X-0806). The rear speakers make a huge difference along with the upfiring speakers for Atmos content. I think it's about $420. As for the wiring, you're going to have to plug it in and connect it to the TV (eARC). The rears connect to a wireless sub.

I just replaced an M-Series Elevate with the Q990F. The Vizio was a terrific 5.1.2 soundbar but the Q990F is in a different league. I bought it on Woot for $967 with an Amazon Prime Visa (5% back in Amazon rewards) and RetailMeNot gave me another $50. I doubt you'll save much more over that on Black Friday.
