what generation Beam

Hi, I have just been speaking to someone about setting Sonos up on my tv, the lady said she recommends that I buy a Beam and I asked her what generation, she said they only do a generation 2 but I have just seen a few generation 1s for sale around my area, can someone help me out on this please? Thankyou

eARC is not in fact essential for Atmos, only for lossless Atmos.  HDMI-ARC can carry Atmos over DD+, which is what streaming services such as Netflix use.

eARC is nevertheless a feature worth having in a new TV as a bit of 'future proofing'.
