dolby atmos passthru

Does anyone have an idea if Dolby atmos passthru can work through some of the cheaper LG nano tvs or not? Say, 75NANO82T6B? I have an Apple TV I use to watch most things that would supply the Dolby atmos, so I’m not needing the tv to natively handle it through its own apps, then passing via e-arc to Sonos arc (at present, hoping to upgrade to ultra).

I asked lg but I think they misunderstood me asking if the tv itself could handle it. 


I’m thinking as long as e-arc it will pass the signal on?!

Thanks

Chris

If your TV is equipped with eARC, you should be able to play Dolby Atmos audio from an Apple TV 4K,

So I just contacted LG directly about it (talked to a support chat employee).

His short answer after I stated what bothers me:
“Sure thing, that is what eARC is there for. Passing through Dolby Atmos. That works.”

    This time it was the support lottery jackpot. 😂👍🏻

      🤣

      Unlikely! What incredible luck. To be honest I did not expect to get any answer. Let alone one that could match my question. And now they exactly told me what I wanted to hear.

      Even though, a small doubt remains. Nonetheless I decided to go for it and ordered the tv right away 😁

        Update:

        I received the 75NANO82T6B today, unboxed and inspected it. And put it on the wall.
        What I can confirm, referring to reviews on the internet, is that LGs software webOS is awfully slow. Based on that I wouldn’t keep that tv. Fortunately an Apple TV 4K was part of the initial deal, that is why I don’t care about the OS 😉


        After installing everything I immediately tested what we have talked about:
        works like a charm! There is even a small and short pop-up telling you that “Dolby Atmos” is provided and transmitted to the soundbar (which gets recognized as Sonos Arc on the tv menu as well). So I can confirm: Atmos is passed trough perfectly fine!


        Sidenote: image is good, I like it. Tests that I could find gave a wrong impression (in my eyes). Of course it is no OLED but a 75 inch tv for that money delivering such image quality and overall specs is real value for money. I am pretty happy.

          Thanks for reporting… and don’t forget to leave a feedback for the first LG support contact. 😜
