Hi guys
I have a Q9FN TV and planning on getting the Q90R soundbar. I have some questions regarding it. Would appreciate some input
1) according to a Samsung Customer Care dude, Samsung TVs are not Dolby Atmos compatible. Meaning, if connected to a soundbar (eg. Q90R soundbar), the TV apps won't transmit Atmos to the soundbar. True?
If not true, then my next question is:
2) Dolby Atmos and DTS-X require eARC and HDMI 2.1 to function. (This is according online techies) True? If so, how do the current TVs (Q900r excluded) transmit these formats?
3) if the above questions are true, what's the best way to get the best out of my TV and Soundbar?
Thanks guys
Ps. My name is not Atmos, I mistakenly typed in the topic in my username slot and can't undo it.

Hi @Atmos (not everyone uses their real name anyway Your Tv supports Dolby Digital Plus via ARC and the native apps which is the compressed version of Atmos. https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/ultimate-surround-sound-guide-different-formats-explained... A workaround for some Blu Ray Players is the HDMI out direct to the soundbar. (ones which which have both Audio and Video Outputs) Likewise DTS via Arc is not supported, you would need to connect DTS devices direct to your AV receiver or Soundbar via HDMI. eARC is not curently supported Diagram of different connection methods here:

Hi. I have Samsung TV EU55 NU7100 series (firmware version is 1290.4) and Samsung HW-Q90 souondbar that supports Dolby Atmos. TV and soundbar are connected via HMDI ARC. Updated both firmware to the latest already. When I turn on Netflix app on my TV and I'll go to audio settings, I can choose output to Dolby Digital Plus but Netflix app only shows 5.1 (I have premium account that supports Dolby Atmos). Does my TV supports Dolby Atmos? I believe it is 2018 made. Thank You.

I have a Q90fn tv and Q90R soundbar. Initially, I could never get my soundbar to play in ATMOS. The native apps on Samsung TVs don't support ATMOS playback. I bought an NVidia Shield android box (the new NVidia box plays codes in Atmos) and connected it directly to my soundbar with the soundbar connected to the tv via ARC. This sorted out my issue. Now all ATMOS content plays in Atmos.
I know it's frustrating to have flagship models of TVs but can't play ATMOS.
Hope it helps

I still have the same problem. No atmos logo in Netflix. I read that all models N (as yours) need a blue ray between Tv and soundbar to bypass the sound.
