The photos of the drivers inside make this look like a 3.1.2, with a center channel, no? That would be nice for dialog
UPDATE: Received it today. Box had been opened previously, but everything inside was packaged perfectly, all plastic baggies were sealed. Have a TCL 6 series TV, ARC did not work. Volume up/down control worked but no sound. Replaced included cable with one I had around the house, ARC connected but said "inactive." Got mad. Read stuff. I have a mini PC in the TV HDMI1 port, unplugged it, ARC suddenly worked and audio passed through to it, reconnected mini PC and everything works.
In a small bedroom this thing is LOUD. Make sure to move between the Movies/Music/TV presets, they do have a noticeable effect. Not for audiophiles, but great for the average Joe at $80!
ARC is finicky, included cable didn't work properly.

Or hooked up to computer monitor with HDMI? I do have a two monitor setup though, so not sure how that would work.

So that is what I was trying to research. Best Buy doesn't Carry it anymore but on their q&a part tcl replied to a question about this and said it actually doesn't have a center channel since it is 2.1 so that picture I believe may be misleading.

I know $80 isn't much but my .02 I'd put the $80 towards something else.
Applications that can use a couple small speakers I've found using a pair of Edifiers (1280 or similar) hooked up to the TV headphone output sounds a ton better to me than cheap soundbars.
