“Hello, Many new game consoles have 120fps framerates with 4K. Does this soundbar passthrough that to the TV or do the consoles need to be directly plugged into the TV to achieve that?”

I thought I would add to this thread. I just purchased this Soundbar took it home updated it and connected my Xbox series X. My tv has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports 120hz modes one of them is the ARC port. My Xbox series X is running 4k w HDR in 120hz mode with HDR with this Soundbar.. Yes it works in port 1 via passthrough. I just connected my ps5 to port 2 and I'm getting 60fps at 4k I just ordered a new HDMI 2.1 cable and will test if the ps5 picked up the 120hrz mode in port 2. Yes no delay when gaming using DTS output on both ports of the Soundbar I am fine with this vs Dolby just me. I do prefer the sound quality of the q90 over the 950t because the sound is a little bit flatter maybe due to more channels and speakers so the sound is more spread out. I was able to restore some punch I was use to with the q90 using some minor EQ changes. I am fine with this setup. Especially watching bad boys 3 or John wick I can hear those cool side speakers fully engaged sound bounced off the walls like crazy really adds another dimension when your watching ATMOS movies. Note, not all ATMOS movie/show audio is created equal some movies we watched didn't have good ATMOS smh. Eventually I will move to a AV receiver not now though the apartment is to small. I am curious what the 2021 model will bring maybe 1 or 2 more HDMI ports would be nice all supporting 4k 120hz. That's a dream. Yes Apple TV also working with ATMOS on this Soundbar via tv pass thru. Cheers
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, the soundboard will pass through 4K video, but does not support 120FPS which requires an HDMI 2.1 input on your TV. Some recievers can handle this pass-through, but no soundboard i am aware of. I am beyond pleased with this soundboard and I use EArc connection to my 8K Q800T which has HDMI 2.1 connection for my PS5. The game mode on the bar delivers exceptional in game sound.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Mike! The HW-Q950T supports 4K/60Hz passthrough and will not support the full 120FPS support provided by the Playstation 5 or Xbox Series X. Instead, you can connect the gaming console direct to a TV that supports 4K @120hz, like the Samsung Q70T or above, then utilize HDMI eARC support to passthrough uncompressed Dolby Atmos surround sound to the Soundbar. ^Tim
