“Just bought this, and the eARC input is HDMI 1, 4k60hz, not HDMI 3 with the higher 144hz refresh rate as pictured in the photos. What's going on?”

You are right! The photos shown in this product listing show a different HDMI arrangement than what my TV came with, and I believe it's the same with yours. Here's what mine is: HDMI 1: eARC 4k @ 60Hz HDMI 2: 4k @ 60Hz HDMI 3: 4K @ 144Hz HDMI 4: 4K @ 144Hz The way this should be used is your gaming systems should be connected with HDMI 3 and 4, while your sound system connected to HDMI 1. Having it connected this way is actually much better for reducing lag. Your TV controls all audio through the soundbar with the same TV remote and is able to eliminate any audio lag since it doesn't need to be process on the same bandwidth as the image input.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Per Alexa, eARC is not (normally) only 4k @ 60Hz, while possible at 60Hz it was designed for 120hz, and is always a 2.1 HDMI port, there is no true eARC that works with an HDMI 2.0 port and from what I understand the HDMI 1 port designated on the hisense U7N is infact an HDMI 2.0 port. This would be particularly true in a mix of 2.0 and 2.1 ports where 144Hz was noted on the ports other than eARC
