This was a pleasant surprise today, somewhat killed off the desire to buy an Apple TV 4K over my fourth generation HD model

I’m still keeping it around for Apple Music, something I don’t see coming to Vizio but wish it would.

The Apple TV interface is obviously superior. After all, why wouldn’t it be? Apple has hardware to sell! 🤔

The Smartcast Apple TV experience is somewhat clunky but it’s fantastic to see Dolby Vision (I don’t have a Dolby Atmos capable audio system to test support).

I’m glad that I have access to my iTunes video and movie purchases, something I wanted more than Apple TV+ honestly but it’s great to have both.

Yes it does. Just checked it. I am running the Vizio quantum X and the Sonos Arc sound bar. Both the TV and Sonos app confirm that Atmos audio is being output. TV status bar also says 2160p and Dolby Vision. Happy to finally see this, I was really disappointed when I got the Sonos Arc to learn that Vizio TV’s do not pass Atmos audio through any HDMI port.
My 2019 75” Quantum X says that its 1080p not 2160. Dolby Audio not Dolby Vision. Is there something else I need to do?

I am not seeing this working playing Dolby Atmos content from the AppleTV App in a 2016 Vizio P55-C1 connected to the Arc through HDMI 1 (ARC). Should this be working, or is my tv too old?
 
Of course! Now... Why 2016? Wasn't that the last election Year? I don't know it smells pretty fishy to me. Especially now that this election year is already. Around the corner.... What are they up to? 🤔🤣

How does one thing relate to another?
