i finally tried atmos in my AV room yesterday using a computer and to tell the truth, the quality is actually a little disappointing. i doubt increasing the bitrate to 640kbps would have much impact to the overall sound especially for those who are used to Bluray or BDMV files. The overall sound was quite compress and the higher octave was cut off, very much like comparing a compress MP3@160 Kbps to a lossless flac/wav.

the 4k HDR video however has the embedded metadata of Max CLL and Max Fall which is a nice touch. at least we we would know the HDR used for the particular movie.

actually, even netflix dd5.1 is dull compared to full dd5.1.

netflix is marketing it right... dd, dd+, atmos, hd, 4k, etc.

but really... both video and audio - they are the lowest quality u find for the classifications.

u will not want anything netflix if u r used to BD or BDMV on a full home theater like u said! biggrin.gif

which is strange why some still look for netflix-atmos soundbar!! tongue.gif

I am trying to  find a suitable home theater system to enhance my netflix viewing...

currentlu using samsung smart tv as netflix source..so no atmos..

since netflix audio quality is my bottleneck, what is the most suitable home theather package that will do the job without being overspec ?

definately will not be renting or buying any bluray.

if u dun care much about audio but like something better than tv sound, can consider multimedia speakers.

<rm1k, u shud get something pretty good, incl dolby digital, optical input for yr tv's netlfix.

Thanks... so these are those computer speakers without amplifier right ?

yes, built for for computers, u can use for TV, some are quite powerful.
the "amp" is in one of speakers or subwoofer, typically.

1. surround sound 5.1
2. 2 way Bluetooth capability
3. Calibration mic.
I guess that is my only simple requirement...

that is not simple.
simple means nothing of that sort, just 2.1, vol, treble, bass controls.
for those requirements, start looking at AVRs.
no more few hundred RM but thousands.
it is a waste to have full AVR/home theater if u only use it for netflix dd5.1 unless u buy used/2nd hand.
there are existing threads on AVRs/home theaters.
