Sometimes one gets what one pays for.  More advanced
soundbars are often more configurable(*), and some
support various audio sync (lip sync) adjustments.

That said, some TV's can be set to "game mode" to
reduce lag (apparently important to some).  That tends
to disable some/all of the post processing, but those
are the trade offs one sometimes has to make.
[btw, for at least some Samsung TV's, in addition to
the game mode, changing the input name to 'PC'
was reported to further reduce input lag].





(*) Although, as I understand it, some regional regs
have forced some manufacturers to default to various
power saving options that are not, always, best for
some use cases.
