Hi - in the UK (in case that matters :)).
Can someone please confirm whether (or not) ATV can produce Atmos independent of a UHD display? In other words, with the ATV plugged directly in to my Atmos soundbar, will I get Atmos even though the soundbar is connected to a 1080p display. It's all app specific and I mainly use Netflix and Disney+.
Thanks for any help.
Netflix requires the Premium UHD (4K) plan for Dolby Atmos options on select titles.
Disney+ has one tier, so that wouldn’t be impacted.
You will need an Apple TV 4K model to get Dolby Atmos options. Non-4K models do not have this ability.
Your audio system (soundbar) needs to support Dolby Atmos in Dolby MAT format, as that is how Apple TV outputs it.

Hi here is a useful list for Atmos support by App on Apple TV.
Apple TV Atmos support by App for 1080p displays vs 4K displays.
I have a Samsung system and not sure it does support it.
Atmos and 1080p
