I had an Incase on a M3 MBA and when it was less than 5 degrees C outside it shrunk and bent the MacBook screen until it warmed up again.
@@glebs. that's crazy! thanks for sharing 🙏 sending warm wishes to your M3 MBA
Great information it was very helpful! Would you recommend the 4k Apple TV box for this system?
Hey Paul, I would rather you use your inbuilt TV OS (especially if you have a sony Bravia TV) or a google TV 4K streamer. There's just some issue with apple TV 4K for sound which I dive into in depth here: STOP Using Apple TV 4K! VS Google TV 4K VS Ultra HD Blu Ray (Sony Vs Panasonic) ua-cam.com/video/TcQyLsLVgzM/v-deo.html
I watch wayyyyy too much UA-cam
@@TheRightAngleGamer haha guilty as chargedd 😅 good to know not alone
I got a a95l this month but lpoking to return it for the samsung. The amount of videos i seen that make it almost on par with others made me think im wasting money for that 10% difference. Beautiful tv tho
Fair point! interested to hear what you make of your perceived difference when you get the Samsung! Congrats on the new tv 🎉
Subbed and liked! You are awesome! I just bought an iPhone 16 pro max 1 tb. I had the casekoo kickstand case on my 13 pro max. I loved it. What would you say is the best screen protector. I want something that is closest to having no screen protector. Don’t want the tint kind. Thanks!!! I have the black iPhone. Not sure which casekoo to go with, clear or black. Damn!
@@joemomma707 hey Joe, thanks for watching and joining the YT journey! Congrats on the new phone 🎉 Definetly get the flolab hot bendable screen protector.. their website is a little weird to navigate to the correct screen protector so here is a link: flolab.io/collections/iphone-16-pro-max-screen-protector/products/iphone-15-16-pro-max-3d-screen-protectors?variant=44984867717271 As for which casekoo case, tough decision indeed! Personally I would go transparent to better appreciate the look of my iphone, but to each their own!
@ thank you! Is that the thinnest and closest to having no protector? Since I have apple care, I just want to prevent scratches.
@ yep! I actually prefer it to no screen protector tbh. Just smoother and less finger printy than no screen protector. Avoiding scratches on the phone screen is the bonus!
@@joemomma707 just be careful when u apply it, follow the instructions! and it does require a bit more squeedging after applying than like the ESR screen protector from Amazon but the extra effort is well worth it imo
Hey Man, great job on your review! Only thing you forgot about to mention was the Dual band GPS on the Ultra which for some is very important. Everything you said is on point…I upgraded to the Black Ultra 2 from the LTE 44mm Series 4 and got 6yrs out of it…would of kept going with it but as your know they no longer support the software upgrade…so basically all these Apple Watches are only really good for 6yrs…also my battery wouldn’t last but it wasn’t a problem for me…I have access to a charger when need be..again excellent job and you gained a Sub from me! Cheers!! 💪😎👍
@@pats6940 thanks for watching, the kind comment and joining the YT journey Pat! Very fair point with all of that and congrats on the sleek new black Ultra 2 🥳 😎
Streaming is cool but i like physical disc because they always look better and sound better .
@@deion423 ya I do agree the look and sound is better but often just not by enough to warrant the additional steps to get and play a physical disc in my experience. At least not on modern flagship TV and sound system setups. To each their own though! I definitely can see where you are coming from in any case.
Subed BC you gave an intro and front loaded the format,
@@Deniselmenis Nicee, thanks for watching and joining the journey Denis 🙏
Oh well I just ordered the Jetech before viewing this video 🤔
ya I mean better value I guess and the dbrand one won't ship anytime soon since they are still fulfilling reshipments of last year's ghost case with a ghost case 2.0
@ dbrand is like non-existent here in Denmark where I live
@ hmm I just checked their website says they do free shipping to denmark for orders over $65. They only have an online presence and only through their own website.. My experience with their shipping times has been inconsistent though even in their home city here in Toronto Canada
Hey Seif! Thanks for the best 47 minutes I spent on Yt today 😄. I was just about to buy the Satechi case for this year’s MacBook Pro M4, but then I realized this new version has different ports. Any chance you know if it's still compatible? Gracias hno!
@@lucarmelendez haha thanks Luis! you are too kind 🙏 1) congrats on the new macbook! looks so tempting with the brighter screen and thunderbolt 5 ports 🤯 2) I can confirm the port layout and dimensions are the same, so the Satechi case should work just perfect with the M4 Macbook Pro as it did with the M3, M2, and M1.. gotta love apples consistency 👌 hope that helps brother!
That cable provided wouldn't work for the new Mac mini. Having 2 TB4 ports used up in the Machine itself isn't really beneficial or any different to plugging 1 monitor into the dock and the other monitor into the back of the Mac.
@@RaymondwLin Hey Raymond, sorry to hear! sounds like you bought the wrong version. 1) There's a version of it specifically for mac mini closer to the bottom of the product page. I believe they also just sell the mac mini thunderbolt cable on its own. It basically makes the two usb-c cables that connect to the mac separated from each other so you can orient them correctly and plug them either into the front or the back.. back makes most sense on mac mini. 2) I really hope if you're buying this it's not just for the multi-monitor functionality as indeed no dock would really be all that beneficial compared to just connecting the monitors directly to your mac or macbook
How about this., Stop streaming when you want to watch movies. Hard disk is 1,000 percent better, it makes no difference what platform you streaming on it sounds a lot worse then hard disk. Use your Panasonic UB820 and you will need nothing else. That's the only way you going to get true 7.1 Atmos if the movie is recorded in that format. You will not be able to get that sound by streaming. 5.1 is not Atmos. Plus as far as TV., LG's are much better then Sony Bravia. Whenever I go to Best Buy I always see Sony Bravia returns and I never see LG TV's return. The past 2 years LG TVs have been top of the line.
@@empire7179 lovely thought! thanks for sharing 🙏 I thought Dolby ATMOS is beyond a 7.1 signal? Like object based vs dedicated strict output channels. Just wondering what you mean by 'true 7.1 ATMOS' like just a lossless ATMOS signal? I compared streaming ATMOS vs lossless blu ray ATMOS and while certainly better.. nothing like '1000% better'. More like 20% better if I really try and listen for the difference. That's at least on this Sony A95L Sonos Immersive Set combo setup i've got. As for the visuals, better for sure but also, I really find it hard to sell the idea to the average person. The image and sound I get just streaming straight from HBO or whatever is already very impressive on this setup. Like I would have to really be picky to want more and the loss of convenience, time, and money is just far too great for the perceived improved quality. This opinion has been getting more cemented in me the longer i've owned these blu ray players. I wonder if the people who swear by blu ray are either 1) just really sensitive to subtle differences, or 2) just walking around with an opinion that was formed many years ago and they're just maintaining it today out of habit and/or they have yet to experience present day streaming on the latest flagship TVs? I'm really starting to wonder 🤔
F* SupCase! It scratched the corner of my brand new MacBook M4... returning and having to buy a mew one now.
So what have been the best headset for Call of duty? Directional sound and foot steps?
@@zHoRiiZoNz hey Cory, for me it's the Turtle Beach Stealth Pros and the Audeze Maxwell. It might come down to personal taste in sound. The Turtle Beach sound is more versatile with a significantly more robust and user friendly phone app I want to say. I also recently bought the Logitech A50X and definitely do not recommend those. I really do not like their sound compared to the headsets I mention in this video. At least on PS5
@@seifbuys i got the A50 gen 5, those arent terrible, but the X version you dont get the 3d audio like you do the regular gen 5 version. But they dont pick up directional sound nearly as good as my pulse elites
@@zHoRiiZoNz true! ya I just really don't like the logitech A50 X sound. Much prefer even the pulse elites for sound quality alone let alone directionality and all that.
Lol the pulse explore earbuds are crap. They don't even connect and work lol
@@braddollahite haha nice! has that been your personal experience Brad? or have you tried every single pulse explore earbud out there on every ps5?
@seifbuys really, no cut I'm not gonna spend $200 on every earbud. Really, I'm talking about the one I had. Very disappointed about that with the price of it and it don't work. That's what I'm talking about.
@@braddollahite ahh sorry to hear man! ya mine is working fine. Hope you were able to get your money back or sort out a replacement with Sony
@seifbuys ok so honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong, that would not make them to work. I turn on the ps5, then I plug in the usb drive to the back of them ps5 slim, does it matter which isb port I put it in? And then I take out the earbuds and press the link button and nothing happens. I even charged the earbuds for a night and still nothing. I even pressed and held the button on the earbud deck and stillnothing. More than likely I'm not gonna be refunded
@@braddollahite hmm have you tried following instructions on this video: ua-cam.com/video/e0gJpL55tGc/v-deo.htmlsi=Fr4jJS1HU5tmG6w5 or this video? ua-cam.com/video/QDGIiEDJXIE/v-deo.htmlsi=FYbepg8FOVOsz6AK
Hey brother, any shot you can give me an update of how this is holding up? I travel loads and do production with my laptop and want to see what is working for others! I might do the dbrand + clear case combo
@@elpront0 hey brother, I stopped using any cases a while after I made the video as mentioned in that last segment. No issues at all with my M2 Max in the video. Now my M3 Max I've been rocking completely caseless with no skin and also no issues to date. I take it out maybe twice a week or so though and on any trips (7 times this year). Really depends how you handle your macbook. If I was constantly on the move, personally I would get the dbrand skin with either the satechi, in case, or clear case.
@@seifbuys that brand clear combo is what i’m thinking of going with, thanks for the speedy response!
@@elpront0 happy to help brother! sounds great, hope you enjoy them 🙏
Xbox has dolby vision at 4k 120hz i have both ps5 pro and xbox series x. You will be missing out on gamepass exclusives that is only on xbox. And kf course ps5 pro is a monster better then most consoles but i would still keep your xbox just get a 2.1 splitter or switch 😉
@@dannyCoolSwag haha fair point ya I bought it a couple years ago and just didn't play it at all so returned it. Might rebuy when I have more time for it. Currently can't even keep up with all the PS5 games 😅
@seifbuys I got a ps5 pro it a beast trust. But yah only issue with a95l is that 1 2.1 port i need unfortunately my xbox series x has to use a splitter for Dolby vision at 120hz 4k. Because a95l only supports 2 2.1 ports and one of them is for my pro and soundbar earc. Which is truly disappointing but a95l Is still king of 4k I have a g3 but I am considering a a95l just its killing me with 2 2.1 ports dumb as hell for sony to just have 2 if we love gaming
@ ya I hear you! so random that they don't have more of those ports on such a flagship TV. Like even my old 65 inch LG CX oled from 2021 had 4 hdmi 2.1 ports. I did buy the logitech A50X gaming headset which comes with an hdmi splitter built into the headphone dock. It's just I really don't like that headset will probably return it. At least on PS5 it's like way mediocre sounding compared to Audeze Maxwell and Turtle Beach Stealth Pro. Anyway, let's hope Sony next gen TVs have 4 hdmi 2.1 ports 🤞

Hello seif, I know that using hard cases will damage the hinge so I’m not inclined to buying cases anymore, however I’m also conflicted into buying skins for my MacBook Air m3 because I’m scared it will effect the hinge too( correct me if I’m wrong). Could u tell me on what I should do to protect my Mac? Because I really don’t want little scratches on it because I’m a clumsy person.
@IanLovesLordJesus hey Ian, thanks for watching! step 1 is always praise the good Lord! 🙏 Did you personally experience this hinge issue? or you running off of the fears people have been echoing? I know that the hinge could get impacted with bulky overly protective cases over long term repeated use and abuse but find it hard to believe with the exceedingly slim borderline weightless options like the Satechi and Incase among others. If a case still causes pause, then I would consider the skins and rest assured the skin will most definitely have no impact on the hinge whatsoever. Lastly, Ive been delving deep into Bible teachings recently and would work on changing the belief of you being 'clumsy'. You are perfect! and be weary of those that preach fear and self doubt. It's the fear itself which causes things to happen. Job 3:25-26 King James Version (KJV) "For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, And that which I was afraid of is come unto me"
p.s. it's crazy that the 3:25 of that verse happens to link directly to where i'm displaying the hinge closing shut 😆 🌟
@@seifbuyshaha wasn’t expecting the fast reply! I was just afraid of the hinge spoiling overtime because I saw a lot of comments saying that hard shell cases would damage them and I somehow had the assumption that a skin for the computer would also damage the hinge , anyways Glad to know that you’re a believer of god! Awesome that you’re delving deep into Bible teachings and thanks for the advice ❤May god bless you and your future endeavours and keep you safe at all times! Keep up the amazing content too!❤
@IanLovesLordJesus haha ya makes sense! Ya it's really just a case of the one or a few person has an issue with some case out there over multiple years, says something and everybody loses their minds. Really just a matter of avoiding adding too much undue weight and duress on the hinge over time. Anywho thanks brother 🙏 much peace and blessings to you too 🤍
@ oh ya 1 more thing I gotta ask, I’ve heard a lot of people saying not to use keyboard covers as it would somehow damage the keyboard when using it and damaging the screen once u close the computer with the keyboard cover in. Regarding the damaging of screen it’s pretty simple , just remove it after your done using , however regarding the damaging of keyboard while using the keyboard cover , is it true? Right now I’m using the Mac book air m3 so I don’t really know whether to buy or not to buy the cover

What about samsung soundbar 990d??
@@JN-jw9ov a lower price for sure! but based on vid reviews, not as impactful as the sonos. The channel I trust the most for soundbars is NothingButTech he has a roundup of all of the best ones and explains pros and cons of each.

It’s funny how many people will defend Apple to their death. I am personally deep deep in the Apple ecosystem, but I’m fair minded enough to know that the audio output on the Apple TV is junk. I have an LG G3 and even with the arc switched off the audio straight from the TV apps is a vast improvement over the Apple TV. For example, if you play inception straight from Netflix on the LG, it’s as if you’ve added two more speakers to your system. It actually sounds like surround sound. Hopefully the new Apple TV Will address the issues and limitations of the current device. The Apple TV from a user interface standpoint is fantastic, but you have to be fair and call it out where it is lacking.
@@krbelloff Agreed! say it like it is Keith 🙏
I see you have a case for a Dual Sense Edge Controller. You can just watch 4K Blu-Ray discs on the PS5. Unless you don’t have the digital version.
@@Undecided0 funny enough, someone stole my PS5 disc drive from my storage locker because I wasn't using it 😅 The disc drive has been sold out since so I haven't been able to get my hands on a new one. I did want to compare the blu ray experience to Ps5 but looks like someone already did that on UA-cam so i'll take his word for it saying that the dedicated ultra HD blu ray players do the content much more justice than the PS5.
Blue ray is dead though
@@rikachiu haha tell that to all these people in the comments here and on my last vid. I think it's going to remain as an enthusiast indulgence
@ I mean people still collect retro games and dvds. However by next year there will be no more new movies that will be on Blu-ray. Best Buy has said they will stop carrying them and LG said they are done making players and other manufacturers are also saying this
@ wow, talk about end of an era. An era I just jointed at that! oh well 🤷 that's what I was telling some commenters like who still uses blu ray? and to my eyes and ears tbh, sure there's a difference but signal for signal, at least on flagship TV like the A95L, I just don't see why I would buy physical media and a player. Then again I don't consider myself a die hard enthusiast neither..
@@rikachiu Best Buy stopped selling Bluray media a year ago and it still exists. LG wasn't that big a player in the bluray player market, so although it isn't a great sign, it will hardly be noticed. Buying media isn't for everyone but I sure as hell would buy a 4k bluray over a DVD but DVD is more popular. Some people just aren't that smart or are blind and deaf.
Thanks for your comprehensive comparison ~Very helpful. As a photographer, do you know what the comparitive SD card reader speeds are please? I use SDHC UHS-II 300MB/s cards. Thanks.
@@ThirdEyePix hey Robin, thanks for watching! not a photographer myself so pardon if I misunderstand your question. While both the caldigit TS4 and iVANKY Fusion Dock Max 1 have the same speed SD card reader slots UHS-II with speeds up to 312 MB/S, I think the Fusion Dock Max 1 with its additional thunderbolt 4 bandwidth would struggle less and be better able to maintain the speed of a lot of the other ports are being used at the same time. If it's just the SD card slot being used though or not too many ports being used, then the speed is probably comparable if not identical (i.e. I would not pick one over another just for that)

Great video and helpful guide. Curious which finger should you put the ring on? Does it matters which hand- dominant or non dominant?
@@jamesmeyer2365 hey James, thanks for watching! Ideal/best finger for accuracy is the index finger though technically you can put it on whatever finger you want. I recommend on the non dominant hand since will tend to get scratched more easily if placed on the dominant hand. Hope that helps!
@@seifbuys thanks again. One more question, I already have the ultrahuman air ring in your opinion is it worth it to go to the oura ring 4?
@ hmm depends how satisfied you are with the ultrahuman ring air 🤔 I would say the oura ring 4 definitely has better battery life and probably more accurate. I think you'll probably also prefer the oura ring gen 4 look by a small margin. But when it comes to shear breadth of features, I think Ultrahuman wins. Also gotta consider that oura ring monthly subscription.. I don't mind it but a lot of people do.

A lot to unpack. 1. Physical media has always been better. Perfect. No. But better. Also depends on how well the bluray is made. Color grading, encoding, size of data it can hold, etc. Not all blurays are created equal. I suggest watching some Physical media UA-cam channel. @mid level media @ AVA Pop Culture to name a couple. @ AVA Pop Culture is also a film maker. He knows about color grading, editing, encoding, etc. 2. Anything 5.1 is not atmos. No streaming services do actual atmos. Only Physical media. Also Far less compression. Streaming compresses the hell out of things to fit all that crap on their service. 3. Sonos sucks. You need an actual surround setup. A/V receiver or separates, which is an a/v receiver separated. Preamp processor and power amplifier. Again watch some UA-cam channels. @Audioholics @Matthew poes are a couple. Both I mentioned are sound engineers and sound experts. You'll get a good idea of what a/v receivers, speakers, and necessary accessories to get. They are also familiar with various streaming services and devices. I watch all the UA-cam channels I mentioned and while I'm not a film maker or sound engineer I myself am a musician with some experience with professional audio. And my dad was a photographer so through him I have some experience with video as well. I really hope you take what I've said here and do some learning and research. You'll be glad ya did. I can tell you appreciate home theater type stuff and having good equipment, good picture etc. That Sony TV you have is considered the King of TV's. The best. And go with the Panasonic dp-ub820. They're considered the best & most affordable. I had that Sony bluray player, something x800 and well, I returned it and got the Panasonic. Best to ya on that journey.

You’re not doing something right. I get Atmos from my Apple 4k and nothing comes from the one speaker you referenced on your set up. I have a Sony A80 OLED. Apple into a Sony 5000 receiver and playing into my 7.1.4 speaker system.
hey Eric, sorry ya I get ATMOS too from my apple tv 4K as mentioned in the vid. It's just for non-ATMOS content that i'm getting 'multichannel PCM 5.1' as opposed to either 'Dolby Digital Plus 5.1' or 'Dolby Multichannel PCM 5.1'. Out of curiosity, what 7.1.4 system are you using?
First of all the Apple TV converts, all sound to PCM. Always has always will. It is simply doing the digital conversion inside the box. Exactly what the Sonos or any other processor is doing before it sends the signal to the amplifier stage of your system. PCM stands for pulse code modulation. Every single digital processor does this. If you are using your Apple TV with a audio video receiver or processor, you could simply push the info button and see that Apple is delivering whatever channels are in the original soundtrack whether it be mono, stereo, 2.1, 5.1, on the rare occasion 7.1 or even Atmos Your processor will show this. It will also listed as PCM and it will list the original signal as Dolby digital or Dolby Atmos or stereo or whatever. But again the Apple TV is converting the digital signal to pulse code modulation. It’s simply doing it in the box That way your processor sends the signal straight to your amplifier. In fact, this is one of the biggest complaints about the Apple TV is that it does not have a pass through feature. The pass-through feature would allow someone who has taken a digital rip from a physical disk and send that signal unchanged to the processor so they would Get Lossless audio if it were present all the way up through Dolby Atmos. Currently the Apple TV 4K can only handle lossless audio up to 7.1 channels using the infuse pro app. It cannot do lossless audio, including Dolby Atmos or DTSX. The fact that you mentioned you watch UA-cam the majority of the time is part of the problem of the sound experience as nothing on UA-cam is done in surround sound. It does not do Atmos at all. Whereas 100% of the original content on the Apple plus streaming service is done with Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos sound. This can clearly be seen again when hooking the Apple TV to a processor it clearly shows Dolby Atmos. But again the Apple TV has converted the original signal to PCM. Something that your processor would have done anyway, before the signal is amplified.
dang love me a long comment William! thanks for the intel 🙏 ya on the TV built in google OS, youtube on a good day will give me 'Dolby multichannel pcm 2.0', most apple TV content as you said properly comes out as Dolby ATMOS, and most HBO and netflix content is now displaying as 'Dolby multichannel pcm 5.1'. Through the apple tv 4k, I managed to get this same behaviour for a short while yesterday but then it stopped working and did plain 'multichannel PCM 2.0', 'Dolby ATMOS', and 'multichannel PCM 5.1' again.. my main gripe is with that plain 'multichannel pcm 5.1' which sounds to me considerably underwhelming compared to anything with 'Dolby' in the front 😅
My Panasonic OLED TV also has Netflix Calibration mode on its Netflix app but don't use TVs apps as l use a Amazon 4K Firestick 23:05
nice! ya panasonic TVs are apparently amazing too. I've been loving the panasonic ultra HD blu ray player more than the sony 👌

A Paramount Plus user got the information fom the support that the next generation of ATV, expected to be released in 2025, will have the audio passthrough feature. Fingers crossed! 🤞🏼 Until then I'll be using my Chromecast with google TV or the internal TV apps, because those are the only 2 options for me to receive DD+ 7.1 instead of DD+ 5.1, since my AV-gear isn't capable of distributing the decoded 7 channel LPCM unaltered and arc, in most TVs, compared to e-arc isn't capable of transferring DD+ 7.1, but only DD+ 5.1. Regarding the discussion if LPCM is better than DD+: Yes it is because it's not that lossy. But it doesn't make any difference if the DD+ bitstream, coming from the streaming provider, was decoded to LPCM by the streaming box or the AV-gear.
Same thing happens here. I have a 2022 Samsung QLED tv. The port I use says eARC so I have not changed it to arc only. I have a Nvidia shield it's very slow (but it's the 1st gen 2015 model Tegra X1 may as well say a Nintendo switch), Apple TV 4K 1st and 3rd gen. Shaw (or rogers whatever the F its called these days) xfinity cable box (SUCKS for streaming very very limited) As well as Samsung TV OS. The Samsung TV/Shield have too much advertising and the use of physical buttons vs swiping. As my Samsung soundbar is only displaying PCM using Apple TV 4K , it's not a big deal breaker. PCM still sounds great. I will take the awesome UI, easier to use, and NO ADS vs a smidge better sound quality. As you mentioned no streaming service beats physical media. But I will never return to physical media. Only physical media I buy are video games. Perhaps I am biased as I use the apple ecosystem for nearly everything, except the lack of gaming as I use a PC for that.
I hear you Steve. Very interesting 🤔 Thanks for sharing your experience!
Video is good but having a SONOS is the problem you’re getting . If you can migrate it to another room and get a receiver and klipsch reference copper speakers. The receiver has more processing power for streaming audio. SONOS not so much. Why you’re having that issue with Apple TV. Should have gotten the Sony soundbar and sub and surround speakers. That has good processing too. Sonos is good if you just want good loud sound and forget it. A receiver has curving capability for your listening area. It sounds good Loud or low volume . Try changing the dbs +- on your speakers I keep mines @ +2 center channel +4 dialog I need most. Other than that you’re good to do what works for you.

I have my era 300s as surrounds but i am unable to adjust the left and right channels in the ap because i don't see an option, google says i should see one but some people are not seeing it in the ap and tells me to contact sonos support. Anyone know how to solve this ? Allso i am on android.
hey hmm not sure what you mean by adjusting the left and right channels. Adjust what about them? on my iphone the only thing we can adjust for the surrounds alone is located in settings > select system > scroll down to 'Surround Audio'
i just confirmed on my pixel android too, it's located in same area in the sonos app
@seifbuys I was wanting to control each era 300 individually for the volume loudness as in volume quieter or louder. Can this be done ?
@ hmm no, not to my knowledge. It automatically determines that either 1) based on true play tuning or 2) adjusting 'Surround distance' manually. I.e. telling it how many metres away from the seating position each speaker is. I would just do trueplay and call it a day though I know for android it uses the sonos arc mics to do the trueplay tuning
Alright for all those I will explain it this way, Apple TV default is going to be LPCM for audio, this means if you connect the ATV to the TV using EARC, audio will come out as LPCM 2.0 or 5.1 depending on the stream( also for those that connect the ATV directly to your soundbar or receiver) For Dolby Atmos ATV uses Dolby MAT to add additional channels( I believe that XBOX and PlayStation do the same) To get DD+ signal you must connect the ATV to your TV and use ARC and make sure the TV is using the Dolby Digital plus settings, all the newer TVs that support Atmos should be able to decode this.Every other streaming box uses DD+ as default and you can use EARC, Apple will always try to be different from the rest even if it’s a pain in the ass
@@MrTrentonMakes thanks for dropping these knowledge gems Michael! I pinned your other comment as that worked for me and was a very straightforward tv settings change. Though weirdly enough when I moved the ATV4K back to my living room before turning off eARC it was giving me something I had never experienced or seen before, that is 'Dolby multichannel PCM 5.1' this sounds A LOT closer to the DD+ 5.1 I get when turning off eARC as per your suggestion and/or using the TV built in OS.

Why would you use a Apple TV or any other streaming device Sony tv has better video resolution and performance than just about any streaming device out there it does a better job of making compressed video quality look better
@@George-hl2xm haha I used it because I loved it man. Oh well those days are past us now. Using the Bravia Google TV built in OS even after figuring out how to get the sound quality to match up on the apple tv 4K because like you say there is something I can't quite point my finger on about streaming directly from the Sony Bravia TV even without the calibrated modes.. I think it must be what ur saying about doing a better job cleaning up the video.
Apple have broken the Apple TV 4K in one of their recent updates. Up until a month ago if a movie on Netflix or Disney or wherever was in Dolby Digital 5.1 it came out with that codec. Now it comes out as PCM and if you have a Sonos surround set up like I do it’s terrible. Apple need to fix this now! I can use the native apps on my Samsung TV and they can still put out Dolby Digital 5.1 so I may as well go back to using them again.
After watching the intro of this video I went ahead and tested my built in Netflix app on my Bravia 85X93L, turned on netflix calibrated, and compared to the same Dolby atmos/vision movie from the Apple TV 4K(which is connected directly to my Denon X3800H AVR). In terms of the audio....there was a huge difference in overall soundstage and bass from the built in Sony app's DD+ Atmos feed compared to the atmos feed the Apple TV is sending directly to my AVR. I made sure my AVR Audio settings are set to Pure so no additional volume processing or tone changes are being done and still for whatever reason the built in app's audio just sounds more full range and less muffled almost. I know you mentioned the audio quality for ATMOS shouldn't sound different unlike standard 5.1 because of the format it's sent, but my findings in my 7.2.4 setup show there is a difference. For reference, the movie I was testing was Resident Evil Welcome to Racoon city and I think it was around 1 hour and 32 minutes mark where they start moving a subway train if anyone wants to test this out. In terms of the video feed, the Netflix calibrated mode was slightly dimmer than Dolby Vision Bright picture mode that I prefer to use with the ATV4K during the sunnier days. I could not notice enough difference here that would make me use one over the other, though maybe it's because I already calibrated my Dolby Vision settings a little bit using RTings' advice and some of my own last year. I will try connecting the ATV4K directly to the TV and sending the audio out to AVR through E-ARC to see if that makes any difference. Either way this is annoying since I route the ATV4K through the Philips Hue HDMI Sync Box to synchronize the lighting and I really don't want to choose between immersive audio vs immersive lighting with this much money spent lol
Comparing UI devices on home screens does help. Nobody compares streaming boxes to built in TV apps. I have the Hisense U8N and Prime Video has horrible picture quality. I use Prime for Horror movies regardless of poor ratings. I'm not an Apple person so I do plan to get a Roku Ultra streaming box just for this reason. UA-cam is really good at streaming content but Amazon Prime is bad, Hisense Picture settings can't fix color banding.
hey Scott, any horror movie recommendations?
@seifbuys On Tubi and Amazon Prime I scan the profile and read the You would be surprised by how many movies on Prime don't even have professional reviews at all on R.T. I like the Jack In A Box Movies The Rises can be really hard to watch. I rewatched the first part on both my Galaxy Tab 10.1 S9 FE and my LG V60. On my U8N black banding is horrible. My LCD phone does better processing. A lot times if the movie gets boring or I get too tired I just go back to watching youtube. I have an Apple Account and haven't used it. I only have it to watch 2 major movies. I haven't watched them yet because I'll probably end up getting better picture from Roku Ultra.
I have the Sony BluRay player. I'm happy with it. I get disk freeze ups from time to time. It means the rented disk I got wasn't either cleaned or had some minor scratch in it. I get great picture quality. I think Panasonic Bluray players is overrated especially the price just to play 4K UHD movies.
hey Scott, thanks for watching and sharing your experience! ya the Sony is def a better value unless you can get the panasonic at a steep sale price or something
