TV requirements for Beam Gen 1

I’ve just replaced the soundbar in our RV with my Beam Gen but am having problems with the sound dropping out intermittently.  The TV that came with the RV isn’t great and too small anyway, so I’m thinking to just replace it rather than try to troubleshoot.

What capabilities should I be looking for when researching a new TV so the Beam works properly.  I will not have WiFi so I cannot use the app.

Really only an optical (minimum) or Arc / eArc output. We use both here on our gen 1 Beams and either output does well.

    So Arc/eArc would give better results? Thanks.

    Correct.  ARC supports DD+, optical only supports DD 5.1.
