i have Q9FN and HW N850 Atmos Soundbar
when using Netflix App on the TV, i went into Expert Audio Settings and it lets me select "dolby digital +" for audio ouput
the hw n850 sounbar supports Atmos
yet when on netlfix still only get crappy 5.1 sound
ive owned a sony xf9005 recently and their netflix app gives Dolby Atmos sound using "dolby digital +" , yes it is "lossy" dolby atmos but still sounds much better than DD 5.1
so my question is why are Samsung not updating their Netflix App to have Dolby Atmos. i have what is required here, dolby digital + selected on q9fn and atmos capable hw n850 soundbar. this is all thats required for "lossy Dolby Atmos" same as you get on 2018 sony & LG tv's
come on samsung, please sort this out by updating to a atmos capable Netflix APP version. its all thats needed
its bad enough having no DTS after spending £2000 on your tv & sounbar, the very least you can do to keep customers a little bit happier is Fix this one

No needs full surround speakers. The Samsung s9 says atmos also but not real atmos as you need speakers in the roof or speakers that bounce the sound off the ceiling. It's impossible to get proper atmos without updating speakers and using xbox x through sound bar is like night and day and get sound bounced off my roof. Adds that extra punch to the sound and hear it all round the room. Impossible through normal tv speakers.

Not really getting the ethos of what atmos is are you?
the Screenshot below is from Dolbys own web site..
There are better or more effective implementations agreed but they are still certified as atmos and will have elements of the effect.

not disagreeing with that point it is impossible to get true (full) atmos with any soundbar.
to use your own wording then I'll rephrase my initial point to see if it helps.
Why do LG TV's now mostly have (simulated) atmos and Samsung do not?
its rhetorical btw as the answer is they do not like to pay for licensing.
