All of us have struggled with finding out if UHD 4K and Atmos works on various Media Players while consuming OTT content and more specifically Netflix and Prime.
I tried looking up any earlier threads consolidating the experience at one place and couldn't find one so I wanted to start this one.
I own the 3 Streaming devices
Xbox One S
Nvidia Shield Pro 2017
Fire TV 4K
I have done extensive testing in last couple of days by playing same scenes on Netflix and Prime across the devices one by one and notice the difference.
Here is the result only in context of OTT content
Shield pro
Netflix - 4k works, Atmos doesn't work
Prime - not sure 4K works or not because it doesn't show anywhere. Atmos works, tested in Gulabo sitabo in Pure Direct it showed Atmos in input side
Sound Quality - 7/10
Picture Quality - 7/10
Xbox One S
Netflix - 4k works, Atmos works but it shows Atmos in all content.
Prime - can't tell about 4k because it doesn't show , can't tell Atmos because it shows Atmos in all content
Sound Quality - 9/10
Picture Quality - 8.5/10
Fire TV Stick 4k
Netflix - 4k works, shows in Netflix app. Atmos doesn't work, doest show Atmos symbol on any content
Prime - UHD 4k works, checked in Gulabo Sitabo by pressing down key. It shows resolution. Dolby Atmos works, checked in Gulabo Sitabo. Shows in options - Audio
Sound Quality - 7/10
Picture Quality - 7/10 (Somehow Prime App shows best Picture Quality on Fire TV 4K but Picture Quality on Netflix wasn't impressive at all)
Please do share your experience if you use multiple devices and have done one on one comparison. Also if there is anyway to find if Prime App streams in 4K on Shield Pro or Xbox.
