There you have it! This concludes our list of major streaming services that play nice with Dolby Atmos. On a brighter note, the company recently started making moves to upgrade SD and HD titles to glorious 4K free of charge. Dolby Atmos support is rumored to be on the docket but there's no clear release date in sight. Google Play Movies & TV currently stops at 5.1 playback. Right now Hulu's library has a limited number of titles capable of 5.1 playback, but at the very least all of its original programming is up to the task. For now the company tops out at 5.1 surround sound. No, Hulu currently does not offer support for Dolby Atmos.
Our fingers are crossed for a turnaround in 2019. While we're hoping things change sooner than later, we'd be remiss if we didn't call out a certain pair of content streamers especially this late in the game. Sign up for Vudu Major players missing in actionĪs surprising as it may be, some of the streaming world's biggest contenders have yet to add support for modern high-end audio.
The rule of thumb here is that Atmos should be a go if your equipment supports Vudu's 4K video playback. You can sample movies with high-fidelity audio by way of an Xbox One X, Xbox One S, Nvidia Shield, Roku (4K capable), Samsung TVs, LG TVs, TCL TVs, Vizio TVs, Sony TVs, Hisense TVs and Apple TV 4K. Vudu has a healthy list of Dolby Atmos capable titles along with a bevy of supported hardware. The Walmart brand isn't often associated with the word "high-end," but its streaming service is just that. Hopefully this statistic will look a little less lopsided before the end of the year. That's a whole lot of hardware for very for little content. But if you don't dig the company's in-house hardware, Atmos playback can also be achieved with an Xbox One, Samsung TV (2017 or newer), LG TV (2017 or newer), Vizio TV (2015 or newer), Nvidia Shield, Roku (third generation or newer), or an Apple TV 4K. Want to experience Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan (your only option right now) in one of the most immersive ways imaginable? You can pull this off with just about any device from Amazon's family of streaming boxes and sticks. Thankfully, the world's largest online retailer got its act together and rolled out a Dolby Atmos update for Prime Video this past August. The funny thing is that a large portion of the company's hardware played nice with Dolby Atmos out of the box, but its content told a different story. As it stands, Apple currently has more than 150 Dolby Atmos titles available to rent and purchase.Īmazon's Prime Video service learned a new trick last summer. To get Dolby's premium 3D sound format up and running, you'll need an Apple TV 4K (obviously) and an Atmos-enabled soundbar or AV receiver. In 2018, Apple made good on its promise and released an Atmos-friendly update for its flagship Apple TV 4K before 2018 came to a close.
