Hi all,
I'm in the process of moving house, and in the inevitable negotiation with the other half I'm pushing for a few upgrades to the AV setup. It will involve a new receiver, TV, UHD Blu Ray Player.
What I'm trying to arrive at is a combination of devices that give (or is mostly likely to give via updates in the future) Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos combined across the most services possible. I'm mainly talking about (in descending order of importance 4K Blu Ray, Netflix, Amazon Video, downloaded mkv files).
This seems like a minefield at the moment with different services offering a fragmented set of options. So if anyone has any success stories about getting DV and Atmos running at the same time via an Atmos AV receiver, please shout out.
My initial thoughts are:
LG B7/C7 OLED. This should give the option of Atmos and DV via installed apps, Atmos (lossy) going via ARC, so in the absence of any other devices supporting anything then at least I should get this possibility. I've seen the Vudu app running on a C7 supplying DV and Atmos together with Onkyo 676, but does Netflix and Amazon Video also allow this on the 7 series? I've discounted the 6 series because Atmos via ARC isn't supported.
LG UP970. Supports Atmos, should get DV via firmware soon, for 4K discs. Has Netflix and YouTube apps, but unsure if the DV update will include a DV-enabled Netflix app. No Amazon Video unfortunately.
Denon AVR-X2300W as the receiver. Supports 5.1.2 atmos and passes through DV.
I know the Oppo UDP-203 currently handles DV and Atmos for 4K discs, but it's expensive and is a one-medium solution with no apps, so there is a limitation there.
