Confirm LPCM multi-channel over EARC? Seems to be 2.0 only

In my setup - paired with an LG CX OLED (2020 model) I am unable to get LPCM with this soundbar (over EARC) at all - while it’s no problem with an LG SN11RG or Sonos Arc. Are you sure multichannel worked for you? In my setup, I can only get Atmos if the LG is on Auto out (not passthrough) and PCM is always, only 2 channel (regardless if in passthrough or auto mode). Atmos seems to come over DD+ on the EARC port only. Again, didn’t see that behaviors at all with the LG or Sonos soundbar.

No. If you look closely at the gray uniformity image, you can see that it looks like there's a faint grid. That effect is caused by the individual LEDs in the direct-lit backlighting.
