No I have not heard Netflix Atmos before so I’m quite interested in trying haha. But you should be able to hear the object placement/height just at a theoretically lower quality. Many have already argued that it is hard to differentiate between DD+ and TrueHD.
And I won’t be surprised since similarly it is very hard for me to differentiate 16bit FLAC VS 24bit lossless music since the most important aspect is the mastering/mixing of the original recording. It should be the same concept for DD+ VS TrueHD. If their original mixing is done very well, you should hear very little difference. However if you are comparing physical Blu-ray Discs to streaming or even ripped/downloaded 4K/blu-ray, I do hear a difference - physical discs sounds way superior.

I won’t be using the Nvidia for gaming at all either, I already have a PS4 for that. The only reason I’m considering the Pro version is because of the bloody USB port that the normal Shield lacks mad.gif
Did you face any hanging/stuttering when playing 4K files (40-80gb size) on your Nvidia Pro via usb external hard disk?

I am using Apple TV 4K Box.

All my movies is in external HDD connected to USB 3.0 port and later connect using 1000Mbps LAN cable to Apple TV 4K.
Playback software tested on Infuse, Plex, MrMC and Emby.

So far all no issue playback full REMUX movie up to 90+ Mbps bitrate where up to 110 GB is the biggest movie size I ever play.

But wireless will have issue probably due to my wireless is only up to 150Mbps.

Haha my wife still uses the PS4 now and then, so to wait nearly 1/2 a year without a PS4 might be a bit troublesome..
Thanks, hopefully will get it by this weekend to play around with  biggrin.gif
Thanks for the feedback, in the end i went for the Shield since i read Apple TV 4k USB port can't be used to read external HDD sweat.gif

Apple TV 4K Box don't have USB Port, so off course it can't connect USB external HDD tongue.gif

I want to ask.  If i have  Sony x70f tv.  The 4k resolution is not up to 3840 does this mean the tv is not certified? 

I see only x7500f is in the list.

Where you get such information.

It is 4K with resolution of 3840x2160.

https://www.sony.com.my/electronics/televis.../specifications

All recent model from famous brand like Sony, Samsung, LG, Panasonic and etc. is capable to run up to maximum resolution of 4K HDR/Dolby Vision. Dolby Vision is only for TV that support on Dolby Vision.

i know the TV resolution is 3840 x 2160, but i come to understand that if it is not in the list of the certificate you might not get full 4K

https://devices.netflix.com/en/recommendedtv/2018/

this the list. only 7500f

i just want to double confirm with the information if it is true here.

hmm this is weird.

2019 tv does not include 8000g but 8000g i remember has 4K resolution

https://devices.netflix.com/en/recommendedtv/2019/
*

This is recommendation list, the TV need meet all Netflix requirements just will appear here.

Take for example LG brand TV no longer in the list since year 2019 and also this year 2020, the reason due to Netflix added another requirements where Netflix always run in background even when you not using it, and LG webOS system don't run apps in background when not using it.

Even though LG no longer in list but not means LG TV cannot playback in 4K HDR. LG TV even run Netflix in Dolby Vision for supported model.

This recommendation is somehow not very useful and confusing consumer already.

netflix stream is up to 2160 only

is that consider 4K?

2160p is 4K. Always took horizontal value.

For example
  • SD is 720x480 and we call it 480p
  • HD is 1280x720 and we call it 720p
  • Full HD is 1920x1080 and we call it 1080p
  • 4K is 3840x2160 and we call it 2160p
  • 8K is 7680x4320 and we call it 4320p

Where P stand for progressive scan.

Most stream and physical format is p.
Only Live TV channel broadcast in i which stand for interlace.

The list is inconclusive (they list personally verified & supported models) and as such, not every "certified" device actually gets listed on the website. Manufacturers push out models faster than Netflix web devs can update.. Well, that or more apt, they don't care so much to list it all. but rest assured that when you buy from the big TV brands and the app is available for install from their proprietary app store? Then yes, you will get full res as promised. What you may not get is best support from Netflix due to it not being listed on their website.
I'm goign to be a tad technical here and point out that 4K =/= 3840 x 2160. That's actually "UHD". A consumer term that manufacturers conveniently dropped over the years, in favor of the more relatable term (read as makes them more money) 4K. True 4K, aptly described as 4K DCI (Digital Cinema Initiatives) is an industry standard and must be 4096 x 2160. So yes, millions of customers have been duped..  biggrin.gif .. But at least some manufacturers try to be more correct and list their displays as 4K UHD. This makes more sense IMO. Cuz the term UHD can also mean 8K...and thus it's more appropriate to label as 4K UHD or 8K UHD. versus just UHD or 4K when it's not actually true 4K. Lastly, I would think this is part of the reason that Netflix marks corresponding titles as "UHD" and not 4K..Not entirely just due to streaming compression.. That be the proper term. sweat.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
I know that resolution is not true 4K but market already label it as 4K, everybody know it is call 4K. No need to be that specific I think.

To me UHD label is useless and meaningless. It just mean Ultra High Definition, cannot only put as UHD because that can't differentiate it is 4K or 8K.

If you ask me what is the most correct and not confuse, should just label it as 2160p which same as Full HD call as 1080p.

The horizontal is what resolution is not important and this will be less confusing.

For 8K just label it as 4320p.

But probably due to this kind of label is difficult to remember, thus K labeling is out.

4K, 8K, probably future of 16K.
In true resolution or not is not important.

Agree to disagree about it not being important. You reread my post to get why. I clearly mentioned that the appropriate terms should be 4K UHD, 8K UHD etc. Which some manufacturers are following. So no! Just like SD, HD, and FHD, the UHD acronym isn’t useless and meaningless, at least not to folks like myself in the industry. It’s just like how most CSUVs are called SUVs when in reality or at least technically, it’s an inaccurate representation for them, because from an engineering POV, they are not full fledged SUVs. Just because marketing folks were “smart” or most consumers “less smart” to tell the difference, does not detract from the proper meaning of a technical term and or it’s appropriate meaning.

Ops, I must be half sleeping when reading your post, I didn't notice they is 4K before UHD or 8K before UHD, I though you write UHD only, Haha! Sorry sorry.

Agree with you then if put as 4K UHD and 8K UHD. smile.gif

Umbrella Academy takes awhile to grow on you. It’s not a mind blowing series but it’s good. Season 2 IMO is where the fun actually is.

I keep hearing about One Punch Man and how great it is. But I never watched it. Cuz I’m like... Hits you with one punch and you dead. Not much there.. sweat.gif .. But who knows.. Same with One Piece.. all say great great.. My Anime watched list includes the classics:
*DBZ
*Naruto
*Natuto Shippudden
*Boruto
*Bleach
*Attack on Titans

Just started S1E1 of the new Space series “Away” on Netflix. Halfway thru and I’m definitely interested. See how that plays out.. You can check it out too. But whatever you do, don’t go watching “The Last Days American Crime”. It’s horrible..  shakehead.gif  shakehead.gif

With ONE PUNCH MAN ya exactly i had the same feel like you bro. Imagine it took 4 years when i first saw the downloaded copy back then but ignored. Now i just binge watched it.
What made it best was saitama so humble with that much of power and seeking someone who can challenge him since he felt himself bored can kill anybody with single punch. Best part those characters come along with him , eventually will be amazed with his ability. Especially GENOSUUU..
Basically the plot gives so much of stress on ordinary heroes fight and lose with villains and there he comes end it with single punch. Hahaha.. but you will see few fights he does with more punches opponents are pretty tough.S3 looks like he will meet his craving if ever out.

I am watching UMBRELLA now kind a forcing myself since no other option. Lets see.

One Punch Man - I love season 1, but season 2 I only watch 1/2 episode and stop. Haha! Suddently no mood to watch it, feel like show repeating like Money Heist I can't finish season 3 as it is freaking repeating the idea, bored. Haha!

Hey guys, a Netflix newbie here. My unifi is 100mbps but I’ve noticed my Netflix stream very inconsistently while I’m watching Peaky Blinders last night. Only streamed 5mpbs+/- 1080p most of the time, sometimes up to 1440p but sometimes drop till 480p...  doh.gif
However, my speed test result is normal(DLS-98mbps & ULS-48mpbs, Ping is 3-5ms) and my router is only few steps away from the TV.
Is there anyways to let your Netflix stream better in your android tv? Or will Apple TV 4K play a better role in such situations ?
*
Is your Android TV 5Ghz Wi-Fi, if not try cable.
Try not using the Unifi for others and test playback only for Netflix.
I am using Apple TV 4K and Apple TV 4K so far is the best device for Netflix, it is clear all time and I am only using DiGi Infinite package.
But you cannot know what resolution you are getting as Apple TV 4K cannot see the info.

I did tried on both cable & 5Ghz WiFi while disconnect other devices, but sadly the result is identical.
I see, Im thinking to invest into Apple TV4k, but wonder would IT make any differences compared to TV native apps?
Btw my TV is Sony x900h.
I did restart my tv and modem, but the result is still the same.
Probably gonna try your method 1&2 before i spent further on external devices.
Cheers bro

I cannot tell Apple TV 4K help you or not but I can guarantee is Apple device always had better pulling the internet strenght.
What resolution in Apple TV 4K cannot tell as it is not show, but it always look very clear to me.

My LG C9 also playback perfectly in Netflix and check status it is always in 2160p but my previous Panasonic EX600 will up and down within 1080p to 2160p.

I am using DiGi Infinite, thus no idea on how Unifi perform.

I also had Maxis in my phone and the speed test always better than DiGi but not means Maxis handling streaming better.
When using Maxis, sometimes they will drop to very bad 480p or lower quality. I think Maxis throttle it.

But this is not the case for DiGi.
